After Barbie Tox, which forced many young women to inject Botox directly into their necks to achieve a slender neck worthy of a Barbie doll, calf tox is causing a stir on the web. It’s a trend to inject botox into calves to make them slimmer.
“I can’t buy certain boots because I can’t take them off,” assures a fan of calf tox (calf means calf and Botox tox). For her, regular Botox injections directly into the calves allowed her to have the beautiful calves she had dreamed of. An end to a complex, but at what cost?
Interviewed by a cosmetic surgeon BFMTV All those tempted by these interventions are called not to be tempted. According to him there would be a real risk to health. According to the doctor, the injection can cause paralysis. Moreover, he insists that, like all his colleagues, he categorically refuses to inject into calves. The people offering this type of intervention are not doctors, and are offering it completely illegally, which is a danger to their patients.
However, the hashtag calf talks has over 2.5 million views on TikTok, alarming the scientific community.
