Gastric Botox is a minimally invasive, non-surgical weight loss procedure designed to regulate appetite and promote portion control. At Medixir Clinic, we use endoscopic botulinum toxin injections to relax specific stomach muscles—slowing digestion and enhancing satiety naturally.
The procedure takes just 20 to 30 minutes and requires no hospitalization. Botulinum toxin is injected into the stomach wall endoscopically, targeting the areas that trigger hunger and accelerate gastric emptying. As a result, you feel fuller for longer and are less likely to overeat throughout the day.
Gastric Botox is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate excess weight who are seeking a non-permanent, supportive intervention alongside dietary and lifestyle changes. It offers a bridge between natural efforts and more invasive bariatric solutions.
At Medixir Clinic, we believe successful weight loss is about sustainable habits—not just fast results. Gastric Botox is performed by our experienced endoscopy team and integrated into a holistic care plan that includes nutrition support and ongoing monitoring.
Gastric Botox is a relatively new, non-surgical procedure designed to treat obesity by temporarily reducing the activity of the stomach muscles. This treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach lining to help reduce hunger and slow down the digestive process, leading to a prolonged feeling of fullness.
At Medixir Clinic, we offer Gastric Botox as a safe and effective weight loss option for patients who are looking for a minimally invasive solution. It is ideal for individuals who want to lose weight but may not be ready for more invasive procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
The procedure involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin into the stomach's muscle layers. These injections temporarily relax the stomach muscles, which helps slow down the movement of food, allowing the patient to feel fuller for longer periods.
Gastric Botox is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and it typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. There are no incisions or stitches involved, making it a quick and relatively painless option with minimal downtime.
Patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. The effects of Gastric Botox last for around 4 to 6 months, during which time patients are encouraged to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan to maximize weight loss.
Gastric Botox is most effective when combined with a comprehensive weight loss program, including a controlled diet and regular exercise. Although the procedure is not as dramatic as other weight loss surgeries, it can still help patients achieve noticeable weight loss results.
The ideal candidates for Gastric Botox are individuals with a BMI between 30 and 40, who have not had success with traditional weight loss methods or who are not candidates for more invasive surgical options.
While Gastric Botox is a minimally invasive procedure, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects, which may include mild nausea, bloating, or discomfort in the stomach. However, these side effects are typically short-lived.
Gastric Botox provides a temporary solution for weight loss, and it is important to understand that the effects will wear off after several months. To maintain weight loss, patients must adopt long-term healthy lifestyle changes.
At Medixir Clinic, we provide personalized care and support throughout the Gastric Botox procedure. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve your weight loss goals with the most effective and least invasive options available.
