Calf Tox

CalfTox, a specialized Botox treatment targeting the calf muscles, is gaining popularity as a non-surgical option for individuals seeking slimmer, more contoured legs. At Sana Physician Group, Dr. Philip Kuan offers this innovative treatment to help reduce the bulk of overdeveloped calf muscles, resulting in a more refined leg shape. This procedure is ideal for those who want to achieve a leaner silhouette without the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures.

​

The calf muscles, particularly the gastrocnemius, can become overdeveloped due to genetics, frequent high-intensity exercise, or activities like running or cycling. While strong calves can be an asset for athletic performance, some individuals may find them aesthetically unappealing, leading to a desire for a slimmer appearance. CalfTox works by injecting Botox into the targeted muscles, causing them to relax and reduce in size over time. This gradual reduction allows for a more natural transformation in leg shape.

​

Dr. Kuan’s expertise in administering CalfTox ensures that the procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. During the consultation, he carefully assesses the size and structure of the calf muscles, determining the optimal injection points and dosage. The procedure itself is quick, typically taking around 15 to 30 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort. Most patients report only mild soreness at the injection sites, which resolves quickly.

​

One of the key benefits of CalfTox is that it offers a non-invasive solution for muscle reduction. Unlike surgical procedures such as calf reduction surgery, Botox injections do not require anesthesia or a lengthy recovery period. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. The results of CalfTox become noticeable within a few weeks, with full effects appearing after two to three months.

​

The slimming effects of CalfTox typically last between six to twelve months, depending on the patient’s muscle activity and lifestyle. For those looking to maintain the results, periodic treatments are recommended. Over time, repeated sessions can lead to a more permanent reduction in muscle size as the calf muscles gradually weaken and adapt to the treatment. This makes CalfTox an appealing long-term solution for individuals seeking a leaner leg appearance.
