Gastric Botox, also known as Stomach Botox, is a method applied by Botox injection in stomach muscles. Botox is obtained by processing the “Clostridium Botulinum” bacteria under laboratory conditions. It can be used in many parts of the body for aesthetic purposes.
After the successes of Botox in the aesthetic world, Gastric Botox has been developed as a side method to obesity treatment in Norway since the 2000s. This method is an application that has started to spread from Norway to America, from America to Turkey and the whole world.
In classical methods, botox is used to prevent the contraction of the muscles and eliminate the signs of ageing. However, this procedure is performed for the stomach muscles in Gastric Botox. With Botox, the contraction rate of the stomach muscles is limited, and the stomach is emptied later.
This way, satiety is prolonged, and people can easily control their appetites. By eating less food and providing longer-term satiety, the daily calorie intake of individuals is restricted. For this reason, patients can quickly lose weight.
Many people can be intimidated by making an incision and having various surgical risks in bariatric surgery methods. However, Stomach Botox is a method applied under sedation (semi-consciousness) and can be used comfortably to people without the need for general anesthesia. Since no incision is made in this process, there are no sutures on the body.
Gastric Botox is one of the applications preferred by patients and doctors because it does not have a severe risk ratio and is reversible. Botox, which continues to stay in the body for 4-6 months, is slowly eliminated from the body over time and its effects gradually disappear.
Since it is a repeatable application, people who wish can have Stomach Botox again after the effect wears off. Stomach Botox is an effortless and effective method to reach the targeted weight.
