The procedure takes less than 15 minutes.
Prices start from $1450.
Safe procedure, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Results visible within 6 weeks, and last 5-9 months on average.

The shape of our lower legs is determined by the muscle bulk and shape (mainly of the gastrocnemius), and the fat overlying the muscle bulk. There are other deeper muscles that have important functions in blood flow, but these are not treated in calf slimming procedures.
People with large calves, either due to genetics in the case of muscle mass or fat, or exercise in the case of muscle mass, may be bothered by the shape of their legs, particularly in Summer months when wearing short dresses, skirts, shorts or swimsuits. Calf slimming with anti wrinkle injections effectively targets large calves due to muscle mass. The injections cause the muscle to relax, and then shrink.

Every treatment performed by Dr. Aaron comes with the following:
You can feel confident in knowing that your treatments will be carried out by an experienced, renowned and trusted medical doctor who is dedicated to the cosmetic field and clinical excellence.
Calf slimming works by using anti wrinkle injections to weaken and relax the gastrocnemius muscle. Relaxing this muscle causes it to shrink over time, leading to slimmer calves.
Calf slimming injections have minimal discomfort, as only tiny needles are used.
Calf slimming treatment can be safely performed in less than ten minutes by an experienced practitioner.
Your calf slimming results will gradually become evident over 6-8 weeks.
The results from calf slimming injections generally last from 5-9 months.
Calf slimming injections are a very safe treatment. The main risks are bruising and swelling..
Some people experience a degree of leg weakness after calf slimming. This weakness resolves as the effect wears off over 5-9 months. For that reason, this treatment is not recommended in athletes, or people who have work or hobbies that require physical activity.
Blood clots are extremely unlikely following a correctly performed calf slimming procedure. There is some information claiming that weakening the gastrocnemius muscle leads to a reduction in leg blood flow, which may increase the risk of blood clots in the legs.
In fact, it is the deeper soleus muscle that predominantly works to pump blood from the legs back to the heart. Generally speaking, the gastrocnemius is only partially weakened in this procedure.
