Gastric Botox Injection
Endoscopic Botox to slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite
Gastric Botox involves endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin into the stomach wall, temporarily paralysing the muscular contractions that accelerate gastric emptying — keeping food in the stomach longer, creating prolonged satiety and reducing appetite.
As a non-surgical, non-permanent procedure, gastric Botox appeals to patients who want a medical bridge towards a healthier weight or wish to avoid invasive bariatric surgery; effects last approximately 4–6 months.
