Stomach Botox

The endoscopic method is the process of injecting approximately 200 IU of botox serum divided into 20 doses into the muscles in the stomach wall. A temporary paralysis of the stomach wall lasting approximately 4-6 months is provided. In this way, the digestion of the person is slowed down and the person feels full for a long time. In addition, since the applied area is made to the fundus section where appetite is secreted, people’s appetite decreases.
