Gastric Botox in Turkey
Gastric Botox is a non-surgical weight loss method. In the procedure, botulinum toxin is used. That’s why “botox” is more commonly known. However, this procedure is called intragastric BTX Injection.
BTX injections help you digest food slower and thus feel full longer. In 6 months, almost 5%-10% of excess weight will be lost.
