Celebrities love slimming calves + micro-carving magical legs

I often hear people joking, "Hey, I saw a little white rabbit running behind your calves!" Women who love beauty are most afraid of having a big belly in the front and calves in the back, especially those who love running and jumping. If they do not pay attention to stretching after exercise, over time, they may develop thick calves that look like "Steel Barbie". Some celebrities use skipping rope, massage, acupuncture and other methods to slim down their calves. Doctors say that the effect of misusing folk remedies is limited. In fact, through radio wave micro-sculpture, the dream of long and beautiful legs can be realized.

"If you have beautiful legs, you will look good in anything, such as hot pants, mini skirts, high heels and riding boots in the summer, which are very eye-catching and make you feel confident. However, some women are not "members of the beautiful legs club". Their legs often appear thick and bloated due to well-developed muscles. They have "carrot legs" with uneven muscle lines, which may even make people feel inferior. They have to hide them as much as possible and dare not show them to others.

The contact points between the two legs should be only four places from top to bottom: the middle thigh, knee joint, calf and inner side of the heel. (Photo provided by Dr. Lu Jieming)

Self-test whether the leg muscle lines are symmetrical

Surgeon Lu Jieming said that most girls like slender calves, but calves that are too thin will look like "bird feet" and lose their beauty. The beauty of calves cannot be judged by numbers alone, the key is whether the muscle lines are symmetrical. Orientals have thicker calves than Westerners due to their muscle shape and lifestyle. In addition, they like to exercise but do not stretch after exercise, which will eventually lead to calf swelling.

How do you know if your leg muscles are well-proportioned? Dr. Lu Jieming said that there is actually a very simple method, which is to put your feet together in front of a mirror. The contact points between the two legs should be only four places from top to bottom: the middle thigh, knee joint, calf and inner side of the heel. If there is no large-area contact or too large gaps in other parts, the muscle lines are symmetrical.

Generally speaking, the composition of the calf cannot be corrected except for the size of the bones themselves. There are two ways to reduce the size of the calf muscles, including botulinum toxin injections and muscle reduction surgery. (Photo provided by Dr. Lu Jieming)

Don't forget to stretch after exercise to avoid carrot legs

Why doesn’t stretching after exercise give you fat calves? Because the muscles will constantly contract during running, if there is no proper stretching and massage, the muscle fibers will become shorter and shorter, the muscles will become stiffer and lose elasticity. Once the elasticity and extensibility of the calves deteriorate, the body has to "recruit" more muscles to supply the needs of running, and naturally you will develop carrot legs.

Generally speaking, the composition of the calf cannot be corrected except for the size of the bones themselves. There are two ways to reduce the size of the calf muscles, including botulinum toxin injections and muscle reduction surgery. Botulinum toxin injections only take 5 to 10 minutes to complete, but the downside is that the effects only last for less than half a year, and repeated injections are necessary to maintain the effects.

Beauty + Micro-carving Radiofrequency Slimming Calf

Currently, there is a method of slimming the calves that combines "beautification" and "micro-sculpting". It uses electromagnetic wave radio frequency energy to slightly damage the gastrocnemius muscles, allowing the muscle fibers to atrophy naturally to achieve muscle shrinkage. The effect is more lasting, which can reduce the size of carrot legs and chewing muscles. It can be used to improve the lines of the calves or face. It is suitable for people with muscular calves. The advantages of the surgery are that it is fast, the recovery period is short, there will be no problem of walking imbalance, and it will not affect any exercise at all. It is no longer a dream for women to have slender and well-proportioned legs.
