Gastric Botox

Gastric botox, also known as stomach botox or Botox for weight loss, involves injecting botulinum toxin type A (Botox) into particular areas of the stomach wall. These injections temporarily relax the stomach muscles responsible for digestion and delay gastric emptying, allowing food to stay in the stomach longer.

As a result, you feel full more quickly and stay satisfied for a longer period, leading to a natural reduction in calorie intake. Unlike bariatric surgery, gastric botox in Dubai does not involve any incisions, staples, or permanent changes to the digestive system, making it one of the safest and least invasive weight-loss procedures available today.

The procedure is performed through endoscopy, a process in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. Using this method, your specialist delivers carefully measured doses of Botox into specific regions of the stomach lining, particularly those that control hunger and digestion.

The effect of the Botox injections is twofold:

1. Reduced Appetite: The relaxation of stomach muscles and slower digestion help suppress hunger and make you feel satisfied with smaller portions.
2. Lower Caloric Intake: As fullness lasts longer, you naturally reduce the frequency and quantity of meals, resulting in gradual, steady weight loss.

The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes, requires no hospitalization, and patients can resume normal activities within a few hours. The outcomes typically last 4 to 6 months, post which the treatment can be safely repeated if needed.

Gastric botox injections are quite useful in the following cases:

• Suitable for individuals unable to lose weight effectively through diet and exercise.
• Best suited for patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 35, carrying 10–20 kilograms of excess weight.
• Perfect for overweight individuals who do not qualify for obesity surgery but still seek a medically supervised approach to weight loss.

Not recommended for:

• People with a BMI above 40 who may witness better and longer-lasting results through bariatric or obesity surgery instead.

Before the procedure, patients undergo a comprehensive consultation and assessment with a bariatric specialist to confirm eligibility and ensure realistic expectations.

Many patients choose gastric botox in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for its numerous advantages over surgical weight-loss options:

• Minimally invasive: Performed endoscopically without cuts, scars, or anesthesia risks.
• Quick recovery: Most patients return to daily routines within the same day.
• No hospital stay required: Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime.
• Improved eating habits: Encourages portion control and healthier dietary choices.
• Safe and reversible: Botox gradually wears off, allowing full flexibility.
• Natural weight loss: Promotes steady fat reduction rather than rapid, unsustainable loss.
• Improved confidence and energy: Patients often report increased motivation and overall wellness after treatment.

During your gastric botox treatment in Dubai, a gastroenterologist performs the treatment under mild sedation to ensure comfort. The procedure lasts about half an hour, and most patients go home the same day.

After treatment:

• You may experience mild bloating or nausea, which typically subsides within 24 hours.
• A liquid diet is recommended for the first day, followed by gradual reintroduction of soft and solid foods.
• Your doctor will provide personalized dietary guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor progress.

Results vary by individual, but many patients begin to notice reduced appetite and gradual weight loss within the first few weeks. Combined with healthy eating and regular physical activity, gastric botox can significantly enhance your weight management success.

The gastric botox price in Dubai depends on several factors, including:

• The clinic’s reputation and the expertise of the performing specialist
• Hospital or outpatient facility fees
• The type of anesthesia or sedation used
• The number of follow-up consultations included in the treatment plan
