Quick answer · What is Body Contouring Botox?
Body contouring Botox reduces body areas that look bulky because of muscle, not fat. Botulinum toxin is injected into the overdeveloped muscle, such as the calves, triceps, trapezius or outer thighs, which then works less and slowly decreases in size. A session takes 20–40 minutes depending on the areas, with no downtime. Change usually appears from 2–4 weeks, peaks at 6–8 weeks and typically lasts 4–6 months.

How it works
Reshaping muscle rather than removing fat
Muscles that are used less gradually lose some volume. By lowering nerve signals to a chosen muscle, botulinum toxin softens its bulk and projection over several weeks. Your doctor first checks whether muscle, fat or skin laxity is behind each area, because the treatment only addresses muscle.
-
Area assessment
Your doctor examines each area relaxed and contracted to confirm muscle is the main cause, and agrees which zones to treat.
-
Mapped injections
Botulinum toxin is injected across marked points in each muscle, with doses balanced between the left and right sides.
-
Gradual contour change
Muscles soften over two to four weeks, with the most visible slimming at around six to eight weeks.
