CALF MUSCLE REDUCTION
Genetically, we Asians are wired to have bigger calf muscles and jaw muscles. Hence, from a visual point of view, we have an unflattering square shaped jaw and bulky calves.
- Cutting down on those high heels that you so love.
- Wearing more flats.
- Being careful with how you walk.
So what is Dysport, Botulinum Toxin A (Botox)?
It is a muscle relaxant, designed to block the signalling at the neuromuscular junction.
How is it done?
The toxin is injected to your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) at 3 to 6 sites, depending on your anatomy.
You will notice the width of the calf shrinking in 10 days and continue to do so over the next 6 weeks.
Which is better for calf reduction, dysport or botox?
From my experience, I find dysport tends to produce quicker results for large muscle bulks.

How long does the procedure take?
Depending on your muscle bulk, but in most cases, it is done in 5 min.
What are the side effects?
Mild aching, swelling and bruising around the injection site. These are transient and will not interfere with your work.
