Non-Surgical Calf Reduction in Singapore with Botulinum Toxin

For individuals with naturally muscular or bulky calves, non-surgical calf contouring with botulinum toxin offers a minimally invasive option to achieve a leaner leg profile.

This treatment helps reduce muscle bulk, especially in the gastrocnemius muscle, leading to a more contoured and feminine silhouette.

What is Calf Reduction?

Calf size can be reduced through either surgery or botulinum toxin. Find out difference and price guide for calf reduction.

Calf reduction is increasingly popular in Singapore for cosmetic reasons. Whether you are a woman seeking slender legs or a man who thinks your calf is too big, botulinum toxin can be injected into the calf area to reduce its size.

Although most people are familiar with botulinum toxin for wrinkles and jaw reduction, few are aware that it is indeed an excellent and efficient non-surgical calf slimming treatment.

The best benefit of calf reduction is that there is no need to undergo surgery or risk complications.

How Botulinum Toxin Works for Calf Slimming

When botulinum toxin is injected into the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf, it will weaken and contract the muscles, reducing their overall size.

Asian women typically focus the botulinum toxin injection on the medial (inner) side of the gastrocnemius muscle due to its bulkier nature.

What to Expect During the Treatment?

The procedure will start with applying numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience.

The doctor will mark out the injection spots by locating the gastrocnemius muscles.

Botulinum toxin would be gently injected in a series of several tiny injections uniformly around the gastrocnemius muscle.

The aftercare guide will be explained, and a follow-up session will be arranged to ensure a successful procedure.

How many sessions of calf reduction are required?

Botulinum toxin calf reduction typically requires 2 sessions:

1st session: Injection of botulinum toxin to reduce calf muscle

2nd session: Follow-up session to ensure both calves are balanced and check whether touch-ups are required.

Is Calf Slimming Right for Me?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

• You have naturally muscular calves

• You engage in sports that build leg muscle (e.g. running, dancing)

• You are not seeing results with fat loss alone

• You’re seeking a non-surgical alternative to calf contouring surgery

What to Expect After Treatment

Results appear gradually.

You can resume daily activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding intense leg workouts for 5–7 days post-treatment.

As muscles reduce in bulk, the legs appear longer and more proportionate.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Side effects are generally mild and temporary:

• Muscle soreness or fatigue when walking long distances (usually resolves in a week)

• Slight bruising or swelling at injection sites
