There's another use for Botox besides making your smile lines disappear.

A new trend people are posting about includes injecting it into your calf muscles.

"Calftox" is said to have slimming and contouring effects, but it has some side effects.

In an interview with the Post, plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Peredo "said Applying Botox to your calf muscles to make them appear slimmer will temporarily relax the muscles by blocking out nerve endings. Everyday exercises can be affected by this. It could potentially affect your gait/stride, affecting the way you walk, run or jump depending on your anatomy."

However, the procedure goes beyond just aesthetics and is a relief for people who experience muscle spasms or have a medical condition such as muscle spasticity.

Check out some of the results people are posting.
