Gastric Botox: What is it?
Gastric Botox is a treatment designed to help with weight loss by targeting the stomach. During the procedure, a small amount of Botox is injected into the stomach’s lining. This temporarily paralyzes the muscles, which slows down how fast the stomach empties, making you feel full for longer. As a result, it can help reduce hunger and the amount you eat. This non-surgical option is often used for those struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. It’s usually recommended alongside lifestyle changes for the best results. The treatment is relatively quick and has minimal downtime, making it an appealing choice for many seeking to manage their weight more effectively.
