Stomach Botox

Lose weight by injecting botox in the belly

Gastric botox injection is currently one of the most commonly used techniques to treat obesity in patients who suffer from it, regardless of the patient’s age. A stomach botox injection is a procedure in which a substance is injected into the muscles in the lining of the patient’s stomach to reduce the amount of food.

What are the advantages of the injection?

A gastric botox injection is a painless, non-bariatric surgical weight loss procedure in which botox is injected into the patient’s stomach to slow the rate at which food moves and is digested. It is performed without general anesthesia. Botox is a protein that blocks the flow of electricity to the nerves in the area of the stomach where it is injected. This leads to a relaxation of the stomach, which allows a decrease in the amount of food consumed and promotes weight loss in the patient in the medium and long term. It is a technique that slows down digestion and promotes significant weight loss.

the principle of gastric Botox injection

Botulinum toxin is injected into the abdominal muscles, more precisely at the level where the hunger hormone, called ghrelin in technical jargon, is located. Thanks to this procedure, the abdominal muscles work more slowly than originally. This slower movement also slows digestion. This increases satiety and reduces the desire for more. This procedure helps people feel full longer than usual, significantly reducing the total amount of food eaten. The intervention is carried out under endoscopy and on an outpatient basis. It is a non-invasive procedure with relatively simple postoperative consequences and no side effects.

The results of a Botox injection in the stomach

The injection of botox into the stomach is performed on an outpatient basis under endoscopy. It is a procedure without side effects and without the risk of complications. Several studies conducted on patients undergoing this treatment are very positive. The first results are visible from the seventh day after the operation. Six months after a botox injection in the stomach, patients lose between 10 and 15 kilograms in the following 6 months. A second injection after this period is also recommended for patients who want a much greater weight loss. To find out more about the price of gastric botox, do not hesitate to contact us and request a free quote.
