GASTRIC BOTOX
Gastric Botox (Botulinum toxin application to the stomach) is a relatively new, non-surgical weight loss method. It involves the endoscopic injection of Botulinum toxin into specific areas of the stomach.
This procedure works by slowing gastric emptying and reducing stomach muscle contractions. As a result, patients experience reduced appetite and earlier satiety, which supports weight loss.
Gastric Botox is not a surgical procedure and does not involve any incisions. It is performed endoscopically and is generally considered a supportive method for weight management rather than an obesity surgery.
This treatment may be suitable for individuals who struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise. However, it is not recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 40, where bariatric surgery may be more appropriate.
The ideal candidates are typically individuals with a BMI between 27 and 35, or those who are mildly overweight (approximately 10–20 kg excess weight) and have difficulty achieving results with lifestyle changes.
In summary, gastric Botox is best suited for patients who are overweight but not severely obese and who are looking for a non-surgical weight loss option.
