Calf hypertrophy
Calf Hypertrophy or Calf slimming injections are used to define the calf muscle better and give an overall slimmer look. Calves are a common area of issue and these injections help with that confidence along with giving a more defined look to your calves.
On the day of treatment
Precare
- We will go through your consent form, which will have been emailed before the session to you, and you will then be asked to sign a physical copy.
- The doctor will then cleanse your skin so that he can assess it.
- During his assessment, he will look at skin thickness and quality along with the underlying muscles to determine the injection points needed.
- The target area will be numbed if necessary and then treated with a microfine needle to minimise discomfort.
Our Process
On the market for more than 20 years, anti-wrinkle injections are safe, well-tested, and proven to be effective. Onabotulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox, Vistabel or Dysport depending on the brand used) is injected into the muscle. This prevents muscle contraction. When the muscle can’t contact it shrinks. This is ideal for clients looking for slimmer, more defined legs.
The treatment process is quick and painless with small doses of onabotulinum toxin used in the calf to stop muscle contractions giving the calves an overall more desirable look. This typically takes 15-20 minutes and you can see the effects in 2-4 weeks as the muscle shrinks. The treatment lasts 6 months, giving you confidence and self-assurance.
Post-care
- You might experience bruising the day after your procedure, which is entirely normal and typically subsides within 2-3 days. To mitigate this, refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before and after your treatment.
- Avoid applying heavy makeup or unnecessarily touching the treated area for 6 hours to minimise the risk of infection. Additionally, steer clear of Vitamin C, Retinol, AHA, and BHA skincare products for 24 hours post-treatment to allow for proper settling.
- Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to decrease the chance of the treatment shifting. Maintain an upright position for 4 hours to prevent unintended migration of the treatment.
- Abstain from engaging in strenuous exercise such as weight training or cross-fit for 24 hours, as it may occasionally cause the treatment to move to unintended areas. Stay away from saunas, jacuzzis, or hot baths for 24 hours post-procedure, as the heat can result in treatment migration.
- Limit alcohol intake to reduce the risk of bruising, and avoid sleeping on the treated area the night following your treatment.
