Calf Slimming in London

Calf slimming uses botulinum toxin to relax the gastrocnemius muscles of the calf, which over time can soften a bulky or muscular lower leg for a slimmer contour. It is a non-surgical option carried out by our medical team in Mayfair.

Results typically last several months and can vary from person to person depending on your muscle strength, activity levels and metabolism. Many clients return for maintenance treatments to sustain their result.

Prices start from £495 at our Mayfair clinic, with your exact cost confirmed at your consultation. The final cost depends on the amount of product needed for your individual muscles.

Most people begin to notice a change within a few weeks, with the final shape usually settling over around two to three months as the muscle gradually reduces. We often arrange a review to check your progress.

The aim is a slimmer contour while maintaining everyday function, and any temporary sensation of mild calf weakness usually settles quickly. We will discuss your activity levels at your consultation to tailor your treatment appropriately.

The treatment involves a series of small injections across the calf muscles and most clients find it manageable. Please raise any concerns about comfort at your consultation.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary and can include soreness, bruising or swelling at the injection sites, or a short-lived feeling of mild calf tiredness. We will provide full aftercare guidance so you know what to expect.

Some people are happy after one treatment, while a slimmer contour often develops over a course of sessions as the muscle gradually reduces. We will recommend a plan tailored to you at your consultation.

There is generally little to no downtime and most people return to their day straight away, though we usually advise avoiding intense leg exercise for a short period. We will go through the full aftercare with you.

It suits many people wanting to soften a muscular calf, but it is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions, and it cannot be given to anyone under 18. We will confirm your suitability at your consultation.
