Treatment Overview
The Slim Calf Injection Program in Korea is a comprehensive, non-surgical calf slimming treatment that combines advanced injectable therapies such as botulinum toxin (Botox, Nabota, or Xeomin), fat-dissolving solutions (deoxycholic acid, PC, mesotherapy cocktails), and sometimes hyaluronidase to refine and slim bulky calves.
This program is highly popular in Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics, as it is customized to address the cause of calf bulk — whether it is due to muscle hypertrophy, localized fat, or puffiness. Often combined with Shurink HIFU, RF tightening, or Ultherapy, the Slim Calf Program offers patients slimmer, more elongated leg lines without surgery or downtime.
