Quick answer

What is calf Botox?

Calf Botox injects botulinum toxin into the gastrocnemius, the bulky muscle at the back of the lower leg. As it relaxes and gradually reduces in size, the calves look slimmer and the leg line straighter, especially from behind.

It works on muscle, not fat, so it suits people whose calves feel firm and muscular. It is often planned together with other body contouring treatments for a balanced silhouette.

Your visit

How Calf Botox works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Leg assessment
The doctor checks whether the calf is muscle or fat by feeling it while you stand on tiptoe.
Dose & mapping
Points are spread over the inner and outer heads of the gastrocnemius according to their size.
Injections
Multiple shallow-to-mid injections across each calf; takes about 15 minutes.
Aftercare
Avoid intense running, hiking or calf workouts for a few days; walking is fine.

Before & after

How calf Botox slims the legs
