What is Gastric Botox?
Gastric Botox, also known as gastric botulinum toxin injection, is a non-surgical weight loss procedure designed to help control appetite and promote weight loss. This innovative treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach lining to temporarily paralyze the muscles, leading to reduced hunger and a feeling of fullness.
How Does Gastric Botox Work?
The procedure involves a minimally invasive endoscopic technique where the botulinum toxin is injected directly into the stomach’s muscular wall. The toxin works by interfering with the stomach’s ability to contract and empty quickly, resulting in prolonged satiety and reduced food intake.
