Botox
Slimming and toning areas where muscles have developed
arms / legs
What is Botox for arms and calves?
Botox for arms and calves is a treatment designed to slim and tone areas where muscles have developed and appear thicker. A toxin called botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles to temporarily suppress signals from the nerves to the muscles, thereby slowing down excessive muscle activity. As a result, the muscles gradually shrink and the arms and calves are transformed into a tighter appearance.
The procedure is performed by injection and does not use a scalpel, so it is less stressful on the body and has a shorter downtime. The procedure takes only about 10 minutes, so even busy people can easily undergo the procedure during their daily routine.
Before the procedure, the doctor will carefully examine the patient’s constitution and muscle condition and propose the best treatment plan. If you are concerned about muscle fatness or want to lose some weight but avoid surgery, please contact us for a consultation. We offer safe and effective Botox treatment that is tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Features in our Botox for arms and calves
About the formulation
We use “Botulax” by Hugel of Korea for injections into the arms, calves, and shoulders, which require a number of units.
Botulax is approved by KFDA (Korea Food and Drug Administration).
It is a generic version of Botulinum toxin Vista, which is sold by Allergan, so it is available at a lower price.
Natural-looking results from an experienced doctor
The muscles of the arms and calves have a complex structure, and their development and volume vary with each individual patient. Therefore, specialized knowledge and skills are required to perform the procedure. Our doctors have extensive experience in Botox treatments and perform sensitive procedures based on anatomical knowledge. By examining the patient’s muscle condition in detail and calculating the optimal amount and location for injection, we pursue a result that is not unnatural. We provide both a slim appearance and natural movement with highly satisfactory results.
Individual Counseling and Customized Plans
We place great emphasis on counseling prior to treatment to ensure that we are attentive to the concerns and ideals of our patients. We listen to the details of each individual’s constitution, muscle condition, and lifestyle in order to develop the best treatment plan. For example, for patients with particularly well-developed calf muscles, we will propose a plan that takes into account the overall balance and gently improves muscle tone and thickness. Through a customized plan, we tailor the treatment to the individual needs of the patient.
Technology to minimize pain
Botox treatment is an injectable procedure, but at our clinic, we have devised a way to minimize pain. We use a special ultra-fine needle to reduce irritation during injection. In addition, surface anesthesia and cooling procedures are applied as needed to greatly reduce pain and discomfort during the procedure. We make sure that those who are worried about pain or anxious about their first treatment can relax and enjoy their treatment.
Aftercare system emphasizing safety
We are thorough in ensuring that our patients feel comfortable with the progress and care of their post-treatment procedures. After the procedure, we will carefully explain precautions to prevent internal bleeding and provide advice on daily living. For example, it is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise and massage for a certain period of time, and we also provide information on how to care for the treated area to keep it clean. In the unlikely event that you experience something unusual after the procedure, we have a quick response system in place so that you can consult with us immediately.
Effects and benefits of Botox on arms and calves
Short and easy to undergo
Botox injections are non-invasive procedures that do not use a scalpel and are characterized by their short treatment time. The procedure generally takes only 10 to 15 minutes, and is so easy that it can be performed during work or between appointments. There is almost no downtime after the procedure, allowing patients to return to their daily lives and work immediately. This makes it an ideal treatment for busy people or those with tight schedules.
The natural result is less noticeable
Botox naturally relieves muscle tension by reducing excessive muscle movement. As a result, the arms and calves will have a smooth, beautiful line and overall balance. Because it does not involve unnatural changes, there is little concern that those around you will notice that you have undergone the procedure, making it ideal for those seeking a natural-looking result.
Improving muscularity that is difficult to achieve with self-care
Arms and calves that appear thicker due to muscle development can be difficult to improve with self-induced exercise and dieting. Botox acts directly on the muscles and reduces their volume, providing a benefit that cannot be achieved through self-care. This treatment is ideal especially for those who suffer from “shinny legs” with prominent calf muscles or those who are concerned about the volume associated with muscle stiffness.
Cautions and side effects of Botox for arms and calves
- Effects are temporary and require regular treatments.
-
The effects of Botox usually last 3-6 months. Therefore, if the effects are to be maintained, the patient must undergo regular treatments. The ongoing cost and time commitment are disadvantages, but repeated treatments may help the muscles to shrink further, and the intervals between treatments can be gradually extended. We propose a treatment plan that fits the patient’s schedule and budget, and help the patient to continue treatment without difficulty.
- Discomfort and impact on daily life due to muscle weakness
-
Since Botox inhibits muscle movement, there is a possibility of muscle weakness in the treated area. In the case of the arms, this may make it difficult to carry heavy objects. In the case of the calf, the patient may experience mild walking discomfort and a temporary loss of mobility. However, these effects generally abate within a few weeks and rarely interfere significantly with daily activities. Our clinic will explain in detail the precautions to take in life after the procedure and provide follow-up care as needed.
- Temporary side effects and postoperative problems
-
After the procedure, temporary swelling, redness, or internal bleeding may occur at the injection site. These side effects usually improve within a week, but in rare cases they may be prolonged. In addition, the injection site is in a delicate state immediately after the procedure, and failure to take proper care of it may lead to problems. At our clinic, we provide detailed instructions on how to self-care after the procedure and have a follow-up system in place to ensure that patients can live their post-operative lives with peace of mind.
Our flow of Botox treatment for arms and calves
STEP1Counseling and consultation
We will ask about the patient’s concerns and wishes in detail and examine the condition of the arms and calves. We will check the degree of muscle development and fatty buildup to determine if Botox treatment is appropriate. We will also carefully explain the effects and risks of the treatment and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
STEP2Treatment Plan Planning
Based on the results of the counseling and consultation, an optimal treatment plan is created for each patient. The amount of Botox to be injected, the area to be treated, and the number of treatments will be determined, and a treatment schedule will be established.
STEP3Botox Injection
After confirming the condition of the area to be treated, Botox is injected into the appropriate area. A fine needle is used for the injection to minimize pain and discomfort. The procedure usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, and we strive to reduce the burden on the patient.
STEP4Care and precautions after the procedure
After the procedure, the injection site is lightly cooled to prevent swelling and internal bleeding. We will then explain in detail about precautions in daily life and aftercare. For example, we will ask you to refrain from strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption on the day of the procedure, and not to rub the injection site strongly.
STEP5Follow-up
The effects of Botox usually last 3-6 months. Regular treatments are necessary to maintain the effects, and we will inform you about the timing of your next treatment. In addition, if you have any symptoms or questions after the treatment, we are ready to consult with you at any time.
