Quick answer · What is Body Botox?
Body Botox uses botulinum toxin injected into large muscles such as the calves or trapezius (shoulders). The toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals so the muscle relaxes, and with less use it gradually reduces in bulk. This creates slimmer calves or a longer-looking neck and softer shoulder line. A session takes 15–30 minutes with no downtime; slimming shows from about 2–4 weeks and typically lasts 4–6 months.

How it works
Relaxing a muscle so it gradually slims
When an over-developed muscle is used less, it gradually reduces in size. Botulinum toxin injected into specific parts of the calf or trapezius reduces its activity without stopping normal walking or arm movement. The dose is calculated for your muscle size and goals.
-
Muscle assessment
Your doctor feels and maps the muscle while you contract it, then marks the injection points and plans the dose.
-
Intramuscular injections
Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle at several points. It is quick, and numbing cream is available.
-
Gradual slimming
Muscle softening begins in one to two weeks. Visible slimming builds over four to eight weeks.
Before & after
