It is the endoscopic application of botox, called botulinum toxin, which has the effect of creating a temporary limitation of movement on the muscles, into the stomach. With this application, the contraction of the stomach muscles is prevented and thus the stomach emptying becomes difficult. This way there will be a feeling of fullness for a longer time and a less food consumption which means weight loss. The effect of Botox lasts for an average of 6 months. With botox, 15-20% of excess weight can be lost on average.
