What Is Gastric Botulinum Toxin Therapy?

Targeted Stomach Injections Used as a Weight-Loss Tool

Gastric botulinum toxin therapy uses targeted injections into selected areas of the stomach during endoscopy. The treatment is intended to support appetite management, earlier fullness, and portion control.

It is temporary and should be considered one tool within a broader physician-guided weight-management plan.

Procedure

How the GastroTox™ Procedure Works

Endoscopic Treatment Without External Incisions

A thin flexible endoscope is passed through the mouth while the patient receives appropriate sedation. Botulinum toxin is injected into selected stomach areas. There are no external incisions, and most patients go home the same day after appropriate recovery and observation.

At EndoSlim Clinic NY, GastroTox™ is used as part of a broader medically guided strategy — not a stand-alone shortcut.

Message from Dr. Shapsis

Weight-Loss Treatment Should Be Individualized

Not Every Patient Needs the Same Solution

“That’s why I believe weight loss treatment should be individualized — based on the patient, not a one-size-fits-all approach.”
