Calf slimming injections can be a highly effective way to reduce the size of your calves while avoiding the need for a surgical calf reduction. The application of carefully targeted injections relaxes the calf muscle, slimming it down without affecting leg strength.
This article will explore calf slimming injections and help you understand what to expect from the treatment and answer prospective patients’ most common queries.

Larger calf muscles can sometimes create aesthetic or physical issues that are best addressed with calf slimming injections. The injections consist of a safe neuromodulator that reduces activity in the muscle. The injections are precisely administered around the prominent gastrocnemius muscle in the calf, reducing its contractions and gradually decreasing its size – this causes a visible reduction in the overall size of the calf.
One of the key benefits of calf slimming injections is that they remove the need for a surgical intervention such as a calf reduction, and are far less invasive. The injections cause no more pain than your typical flu vaccination and take less than 10 minutes to administer.
Unlike a calf reduction surgery, calf slimming injections do not require any downtime. After your treatment has been performed, you can return to work and any of your daily activities – including strenuous exercise – without issue.
The results of calf slimming injections are also long lasting – depending on the size of your calves when the injections are performed, their effects last between 6-8 months.
Using injections to slim down specific areas of the calves means that overdeveloped muscle areas or asymmetry between the cast can be addressed precisely. The injected toxin can target particular areas experiencing muscle hypertrophy and address any asymmetries between the calves.
Our Aesthetic Doctor injects the neuromodulator – a purified protein that relaxes muscle activity – at multiple sites across the calf muscle so it is evenly spread across key areas. This causes the muscle to contract less and reduce in size.
By reducing the size of the muscle, the injections make the muscle more slender. The precise spread of injections ensures a symmetrical, aesthetically consistent reduction.
Any adult with concerns about the size of their calves may be a good candidate for calf slimming injections. Ideal candidates are:
Side effects from calf slimming injections are usually mild and should gradually subside in the days after treatment. The most common side effects of calf slimming injections is bruising. There is also a small risk of infection which can be minimised by keeping the injection sites clean as they heal.
The effect of calf slimming injections can usually be seen after around two weeks, but the final results will be clearest around two months post treatment.
It is not possible to specifically target calf fat with one week of weight loss. Some weight can be lost via exercise and healthy eating in a week, but there is no way to target the calves, and the weight may simply disappear from other areas.
