Quick answer
What Is Calf Botox?
Calf Botox is botulinum toxin injected into the gastrocnemius – the two-headed muscle that forms the bulge at the back of the lower leg. Relaxing it reduces muscle bulk so the calf looks slimmer and the leg line straighter.
Calf Botox only works when the size comes from muscle. Fat, fluid retention or bone shape will not change with Botox. The doctor checks this by examining your calves standing and on tiptoe before recommending a dose.
Because both calves are large muscles, this treatment usually needs around 100–200 units in total, depending on size. The inner (medial) head is often the main focus, as it creates most of the visible bulge from behind.

Is it right for you?
Who Is Calf Botox Right For?
Adults with firm, muscular calves that stand out from behind or make boots and skirts feel tight.
Calf Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with skin infection on the legs, with neuromuscular disorders, or with circulation problems in the legs. Runners, hikers, dancers and athletes should discuss it first, as calf strength and endurance may drop for several weeks.

- Firm rather than soft, pinchable calves
