calf reduction中文

We can’t decide the length of the legs, but we can decide the width of the legs! Although it’s difficult to have a pair of nice long legs, as long as the legs are thin, they will naturally look slender. If you want to say goodbye to elephant legs, muscular legs, carrot legs and other annoying small and thick legs, now you only need a calf reduction!



Calf reduction is literally translated into Chinese as slimming the calf, or slimming the legs. To be more precise, it means slimming the calf, so in some medical beauty institutions in the UK, calf reduction is actually the slimming injection we are more familiar with.

The leg slimming injection is the same as the face slimming injection and wrinkle removal injection, that is, botulinum toxin type A, which is a nerve blocker. It blocks the nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, relaxes the hard and contracted muscles, and slowly softens them, so as to achieve the effect of body shaping. Calf reduction is to inject botulinum toxin into the calf muscles to paralyze and shrink them, so as to achieve the effect of slimming the legs and shaping the legs.



The leg-slimming injection is very suitable for those with well-developed calf muscles, including the muscular legs of many girls who wear high heels all year round and look a bit thick, and the leg-slimming injection is also suitable. However, not all types of thick legs can be solved by the leg-slimming injection. For example, for typical fat-type thick legs, you can pinch your legs. If the meat is loose, then the legs are thick with a high fat content, and it is more appropriate to reduce fat first; there is also an edema-type thick leg, which pregnant mothers may have more experience with. If you don’t know how to judge, you can press the calf for a few seconds. If there is a concave or obvious whitening, then it is an edema-type thick leg. Since the botulinum toxin in the leg-slimming injection only acts on the muscles, there is only one type of thick legs that is suitable for the leg-slimming injection, that is, muscular thick legs. You can tiptoe and observe your calves. If the calf lines are obvious and feel hard, then they are muscular legs.

Injection of slimming legs has no effect on normal life. No anesthesia is required when injecting botulinum toxin. Just select a few muscle injection points on the more developed parts of the legs on both sides of the calves and inject an appropriate amount. The botulinum toxin in the slimming leg injection can cause the gastrocnemius muscle to atrophy by 1-1.5 cm. Two weeks after the slimming leg injection, you can feel the change in the calf curve. This change reaches its peak two months after the slimming leg injection, and the effect is best. Of course, slimming leg injections are not permanent. Botulinum toxin will be gradually metabolized by the body. After metabolism, daily running, jumping, walking and other exercises will make the muscles grow back. Therefore, it is necessary to make up for it at intervals according to the situation. But in fact, as long as you don’t exercise deliberately on a daily basis, the calf shape and muscles will basically improve a lot after three injections.



Regarding safety issues, the production of botulinum toxin for human medical use was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as early as 1992. Today’s available botulinum toxin has been tested thousands of times. After it is injected into the muscle, it only atrophies the outer layer of the muscle, does not affect the deep muscle, and with the complete metabolism of the drug, the muscle capacity and strength will recover. Normally, there will be no problems. But it is rogue to talk about safety without considering the dosage. There are certain requirements for dosage control for leg slimming injections: usually divided into 100 units, i.e. 100u (units) maintenance version and 200 units, i.e. 200u (units) standard version. Obviously, the latter has a larger dosage and is suitable for people with larger calf muscle area, stronger and more stubborn. Of course, this varies from person to person, and the specific needs of doctors to make professional judgments. It is not the more the better. The upper limit of botulinum toxin safety is 2000 units. Once a single injection exceeds this dose, it is also very dangerous. Therefore, even for such a mature project, it is recommended that you choose a professional and qualified medical beauty institution or hospital to operate.



In the UK, if you want to communicate correctly and perform calf reduction safely and professionally, London Ai Beauty Clinic is the first choice. At Ai Beauty Clinic, a face-to-face consultation is required before the leg slimming injection, and the leg circumference is measured. Then the doctor will mark the injection point. No anesthesia is required, and the appropriate amount of injection is sufficient. 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. But even for such an efficient treatment project, Ai Beauty is still very rigorous. The operators are injection physicians and top trainers authorized by major European pharmaceutical companies. The botulinum toxin used is the botulinum toxin of three well-known pharmaceutical companies-Germany’s Bocouture/Xeomin, the UK’s Azzalure and the United States’ Botox. A set of safe and effective injection treatment standards for Asian aesthetics and Asian skin types have also been established. Because Ai Beauty Clinic is the first Asian medical beauty institution in the history of the UK to be certified and registered by the UK national medical regulatory agency CQC (Care Quality Commission), so they provide the most formal and guaranteed services and treatments. Sisters who want to slim down their legs can go for it with confidence. After all, many local institutions are unfamiliar with leg slimming injections, and their experience and aesthetics are far inferior to those of Asian medical beauty institutions.
