Availability
Stomach Botox is available to everyone who wants to decrease weight. This procedure does not treat obesity surgically. But to be used, patients must meet a few criteria.
It is used on individuals who have a BMI between 25 and 35 and who are not obese enough to undergo obesity surgery but are unable to lose weight despite their best efforts. For people whose BMI is greater than 35, obesity surgery is advised.
Expectations
Within a time frame of three to six months, patients are anticipated to lose 10-15% of their overall weight. The quantity of weight lost can vary depending on a person’s age, metabolic rate, and activity frequency.
Effect
Three days following the surgery, there is a noticeable decrease in appetite and hunger. After a week, it reaches its peak. With a customized diet, the patient’s hunger reduces, and weight reduction starts. It has an impact for 4 to 6 months. Botox is removed from the body after this time frame.
Losing weight
Applications of Botox have been used for a long time to treat a variety of conditions, including skin wrinkles, eye illnesses, and neurological diseases.
For patients who have struggled with weight for roughly 10 years, Botox is also injected to the stomach.
It temporarily neutralizes the nerves and muscles that influence the stomach’s appetite and hunger when given as an injection into the stomach.
Non-surgical Obesity Treatment
While the sensation of hunger declines following the Stomach Botox method administered to the stomach without surgical intervention, the sensation of satiety lasts for a longer period. Losing weight can be aided by a healthy diet and exercise.
