1. General Information and Description
Body Contouring Injection is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to slim, soften, and contour specific body areas by reducing muscle bulk. Using carefully calibrated injections, this treatment is commonly performed on areas such as the calves and trapezius muscles, where muscle hypertrophy can create a bulky or tense appearance.
Popular in Korea for achieving a more refined and elongated silhouette, Body Contouring focuses on muscle relaxation rather than fat reduction, helping create smoother lines and a more feminine or balanced body profile without surgery or downtime.
2. How It Works
Body Contouring injection works by relaxing targeted muscles responsible for bulk or tension, such as the gastrocnemius (calf) or trapezius muscles.
The injection temporarily reduces muscle activity, leading to gradual muscle relaxation and volume reduction over time. As the treated muscles are used less forcefully, they become slimmer and less prominent, allowing surrounding contours to appear more defined and proportionate.
This controlled muscle softening does not affect overall mobility or function when performed correctly, making it a precise and effective contouring option.
3. What to Expect & When Results Appear
The procedure involves a series of injections into the targeted muscle area and is generally well tolerated. There is little to no downtime, and most clients resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
Results are not immediate. Muscle slimming becomes noticeable gradually over 2–4 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months as the muscle volume reduces.
Results typically last 4–6 months, depending on muscle strength, activity level, and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain a slimmer contour.
4. Who Is a Good Candidate
Body Contouring Injection may be suitable for individuals who:
-
Have bulky or overactive calf or trapezius muscles
-
Want a slimmer leg line or a softer shoulder and neck profile
-
Experience muscle tension or tightness in targeted areas
-
Prefer a non-surgical, low-downtime contouring solution
-
