Gastric Botox is a recent procedure offering a solution for obesity management. In this process, Botox is injected into the stomach wall to relax the muscles and reduce appetite. The effect lasts up to 6 months, helping patients feel fuller for longer and consume less food.
This non-surgical procedure is painless and performed endoscopically without general anesthesia, allowing for a quick return to daily activities. Gastric Botox is ideal for individuals with a BMI between 28 and 40, targeting mild obesity or overweight conditions.
The procedure has no severe side effects; however, mild pain, nausea, or swelling at the injection site may occur. Following a tailored diet is essential, as heavy food intake may reverse the benefits.
