Slimming legs is a topic that girls often talk about after dinner. All girls should be unable to resist the legendary “girl group legs” and “comic legs”. However, in fact, many girls have not had good legs since birth. If they exercise for a long time or wear high heels, their calf muscles are particularly developed and very strong, which turns them into annoying “carrot legs”. Therefore, slimming leg injections have become the biggest “savior” for many people on the road to slimming legs.
The principle of leg slimming injection is the same as that of face slimming injection. The main ingredient is botulinum toxin, which inhibits the nerves that control muscle movement by interrupting the information transmission between muscles and nerves. The muscles cannot receive movement instructions, and then they will gradually shrink. Therefore, leg slimming injection mainly injects botulinum toxin into the calf area to achieve a certain leg slimming effect.
In fact, that is to say, as long as you are sure that your thick legs are caused by calf muscles, you can get a leg-slimming injection. For example, some people’s asymmetric leg muscles caused by incorrect fitness or exercise methods can actually be improved by a leg-slimming injection. But if you have fat calves, that is, fat and thick legs, you should consider methods such as fat dissolving and fat burning. Leg-slimming injections are useless.
How to judge whether your calves are muscular or fatty? You can pinch your calf muscles to see how big they are while standing on tiptoe. This will roughly tell you how much improvement the leg slimming injection can provide. If you are not sure, you can go to a medical beauty institution for a consultation. Remember, the leg slimming injection does not remove your fat, nor does it shrink your muscles once and for all. Even its improvement on leg circumference is actually limited. You can feel the leg slimming effect of the leg slimming injection more visually.
At Ai Beauty Clinic, you need to have a face-to-face consultation before the leg slimming injection, measure the leg circumference, and then the doctor will mark the injection point. No anesthesia is required, and the appropriate amount of injection is enough. The whole process, including the face-to-face consultation, can be completed in about 30 minutes. After the injection, there is no trauma or trace, the curve is soft and the effect is natural, and it has no impact on normal life.
Botulinum toxin can cause the gastrocnemius muscle to shrink by 1-1.5 cm. Usually, you can feel the change in the calf curve 2-3 weeks after the injection. This change reaches its peak 4-6 weeks after the leg slimming injection, and the effect is best. Since botulinum toxin acts as a protein to inhibit muscles, its effect period is also limited. The obvious effect of botulinum toxin lasts for 4-6 months. It is usually recommended to inject once every 3 months or half a year to maintain it.
Doctors usually say that after three injections, there will be a more stable improvement, and some people do not need to take more injections, but the effect and expectations are different for each person, so the specific number of injections depends on your decision. The leg slimming injection is a quick way to slim down your legs, but in terms of long-term effect, the leg slimming injection is only an auxiliary to shaping. Injections + improving walking posture, learning to use the buttocks and thighs to drive the calves, is the way to maintain the shape of your legs for a long time.
Of course, there are certain requirements for dosage control for leg slimming injections. It is usually divided into 100 units, namely 100u (units) maintenance version and 200 units, namely 200u (units) standard version. Obviously, the latter has a larger dosage and is suitable for people with larger, firmer and more stubborn calf muscles. Of course, this varies from person to person, and requires a doctor to make a professional judgment. It is not the case that more is better. The safe upper limit of botulinum toxin is 2000 units. Once a single injection exceeds this dose, it is also very dangerous.
Although leg slimming injections are highly safe, the choice of institutions, doctors and drugs also needs to be taken seriously. Common botulinum toxin brands in the UK are Germany’s Bocouture/Xeomin, the UK’s Azzalure and the US’s Botox. All three are very safe botulinum toxin type A, but they need to be provided by regular medical beauty institutions; at the same time, it is necessary to confirm the qualifications of the medical beauty institution and the professionalism of the operator before treatment. In the UK, you can look for the British CQC certification and the NMC/GMC certification of medical staff. These can be checked online in advance to ensure the safety and professionalism of the injection.

Stand on tiptoe. If there is little subcutaneous fat in the calves, you can see the outlines of the inner and outer gastrocnemius muscles of the calves, which means you are suitable for leg slimming injections.
