At Lalezari Surgical in Los Angeles, we offer Intragastric Botox Injections as a non-surgical and minimally invasive option for individuals seeking effective weight loss solutions. This innovative procedure utilizes Botox (botulinum toxin) to relax the stomach muscles, slowing stomach emptying and reducing appetite, ultimately aiding in weight loss.

What is Intragastric Botox Injections?

Intragastric Botox Injections involve the use of Botox, a well-known muscle relaxant, to target the stomach muscles. By injecting Botox into specific areas of the stomach, the muscles are relaxed, which slows down the process of stomach emptying and reduces feelings of hunger. This helps patients feel fuller for longer periods and consume less food, promoting weight loss.

How Intragastric Botox Works for Non-Surgical Weight Loss

The Intragastric Botox Injection procedure is performed endoscopically:

Preparation

The patient is prepared for the procedure, which involves sedation to ensure comfort.

Endoscope Insertion

An endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and a special injection needle, is inserted through the mouth and guided into the stomach.

Botox Injection

Botox is injected into specific areas of the stomach muscles through the endoscope.

Completion

The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients can usually go home the same day.

Non-Surgical

The procedure does not involve any incisions or major surgery, reducing the risk of complications.

Minimally Invasive

With the use of an endoscope, the procedure is minimally invasive and requires a short recovery time.

Temporary Effects

The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting for a few months, which allows for adjustments or repeat treatments as needed.

Reduced Appetite

By slowing stomach emptying, patients experience a reduction in appetite and consume less food, aiding in weight loss.
