CALF (LEGS) SLIMMING
Calf slimming treatment targets at the over-developed calve muscles. In a few weeks, the treated muscles start to relax and soften, resulting in a reduction in size and a slimmer and more feminine lower leg contour.
The procedure treats the outer proportion of the gastrocnemius muscles, without affecting the walking function of the legs. The results are commonly more than 2cm reduction of the circumference of each calf, lasting 4-6 months depending on the individual.
Precision of the treatment is essential to create maximum results tailoring to the individual contour. The treatment must be avoided reaching the soleus muscle which is the long, inner muscle running down the length of the lower leg controlling walking.
Minimal discomfort with our numbing cream or distraction device.
How many treatments would I consider?
- Some people with large and trained muscles may need another treatment within the first 3 months to get a more significant result.
- 2-4 treatments every 4-6 months may be required to achieve long-lasting reduction outcome
- Revisit once a year is commonly required to maintain results
Post treatment care:
- Refrain from doing strenuous activities for 24 hours after the procedure
- Intense activities can increase the muscle bulk. Avoiding excessive calf exercising may be helpful to maintain the treatment results.
Contraindications:
- Skin infection at the planned treatment site
- Patients with systemic neuromuscular junction disorders (eg myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding, or planning to try for pregnancy in the next 3 months
Will the treatment affect the way I walk?
There is no recovery time for this procedure. You can resume normal activity like walking immediately after treatment. But wait for 24 to 48 hrs before engaging in strenuous activities or intense exercises.
How soon will I see the results?
Results usually start to appear after 2 weeks, and full results may take up to 2 months. Some patients may need a second session within the first 3 months to get a more significant result.
Can this procedure treat stubborn fat tissue in the calf?
This treatment is for excessively muscular calves. For those with stubborn fat deposits in the region, fat reduction treatments such as radiofrequency or coolsculpting may be useful.
How long will the results last?
Results usually last 4-6 months depending on individual factors. However, longevity of results can be affected by intense workouts that train the calf muscles.
