What Are Calf and Shoulder Treatments?

Calf and shoulder treatments work beneath the skin surface to target specific muscle groups. This may help address changes in the appearance of the calves or shoulders. During your consultation, suitability will be discussed based on your individual needs and circumstances.

  • The size or prominence of the calf muscles
