Gastric Botox
In order for the muscles in our solutions to work, the nerves must transmit signals to our muscles. The connection of the signals sent by the nerves with the muscle is called the “nerve-muscle junction”.
WHAT IS BOTOX? ARE BOTOX PROCEDURE SAFE
In order for the muscles in our solutions to work, the nerves must transmit signals to our muscles. The connection of the signals sent by the nerves with the muscle is called the “nerve-muscle junction”. Botolinum toxin, a "neuro-toxin" (obtained from the bacterium Clostridium botolinum) blocks the operation at this "nerve-muscle junction" where nerve impulses are transmitted to the muscles.
Botox; "IT IS LOCAL-EFFECTIVE ONLY IN THE AREA APPLIED" stops "temporarily" from the beginnings of the "muscles to which it is applied" (temporary paralysis).
Botox is extremely safe to use and medical applications such as applications, cosmotic applications, muscle applications, ANAL fissure are performed.
WHAT IS STOMACH BOTOX PROCEDURE IN OBESITY TREATMENT?
Endoscopic gastric botox procedures have been performed safely since 2003 in the treatment of obesity (Dr. Rollnik, Germany, 2003). Dr. In Rollnik's study, in the 4-month follow-up of people who applied endoscopic gastric botox and applied endoscopic gastric botox to people with a BMI of 30-35; reported that they lost 8.9% of their current weight and that people with stomach botox had a 32.5% reduction in their daily calorie intake.
In the study of İtilyan researcher Dr. Gui, he reported that all people who underwent endoscopic stomach botox had a 'decreased appetite'. (2007)
In almost all of the studies, it has been reported that there is a slowdown in the 'emptying of food from the stomach' after gastric botox procedure.
HOW DOES GASTRIC BOTOX PROCEDURE WORK?
With endoscopic stomach botox procedure;
1- Decreased appetite
2- Reduction in daily calorie intake
3- Slowing down the emptying of food from the stomach
It is known to provide 'weight loss' with these three basic mechanisms.
HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT OF GASTRIC BOTOX LAST?
Botox is only effective in the area where it is applied and only for 4-4.5 months. The effect of gastric botox procedure will 'completely' end after 4-4.5 months.
HOW IS STOMACH BOTOX DONE?
Gastric botox procedure is done with “endoscopy-assisted”. During the endoscopy, you will be put to sleep with a light sedation, we will reach your stomach with the endoscope and 'first of all, your stomach will be evaluated endoscopically' for the safety of the procedure.
In the endoscopic evaluation of your stomach, if there is no 'condition that prevents the application of botox to your stomach', the procedure will continue and botolinum will be applied to your stomach from 24-30 points from the entrance of your stomach.
HOW MANY UNITS BOTOX SHOULD BE APPLIED IN GASTRIC BOTOX PROCEDURE?
A "clear dose" has not been determined in stomach botox procedures. However, as Istanbul Bariatric Clinic, we apply 500 units of "original Allergan" brand botox in all endoscopic botox applications. The rule that less effect will be obtained by using less botox should not be forgotten, and it should not be forgotten that "the lower the dose of botox is used, the cheaper it will be".
IT MEANS "LESS BOTOX IS USED IF IT IS CHEAP", which reduces the success of the procedure.
