What Is Gastric Botox?
Gastric Botox, also known as gastric botulinum injection, is a non-surgical weight-management treatment performed endoscopically. During the procedure, controlled doses of botulinum toxin are injected into specific muscle groups of the stomach wall. These injections temporarily reduce the contraction strength of the stomach muscles, slow gastric emptying and help patients feel full for longer periods. As a result, appetite decreases, meal frequency naturally reduces and portion control becomes significantly easier. Since it does not require incisions or structural alterations to the stomach, Gastric Botox is considered a safe, reversible and low-risk option for individuals seeking a gradual, medically supervised approach to weight loss.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Gastric Botox is suitable for individuals with a BMI between 25 and 35, especially those who struggle with emotional eating, sudden hunger spikes or difficulty maintaining portion control. It is also an effective solution for patients who are not candidates for bariatric surgery or want a softer transition into lifestyle modification before considering more advanced procedures. People who feel hungry shortly after meals, eat large portions or have difficulty staying consistent with diet routines often benefit most from this method.
How Gastric Botox Works
The treatment supports weight loss through two primary mechanisms:
The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes, is performed under light sedation and allows patients to return to normal activities the same day. Its effects typically last 4–6 months.
Expected Results and Treatment Process
Appetite reduction usually becomes noticeable within the first week. Gastric Botox is not designed as a dramatic weight-loss procedure; instead, it enhances the patient’s ability to follow a balanced diet and adopt long-term habits. When combined with regular dietitian support and behavioral guidance, the treatment provides meaningful and sustainable outcomes. It is an ideal option for those looking for a gentle, controlled start to weight management.
