Botox injections do not help reduce the weight of people with long-term obesity, a recent study suggests, warning of side effects that may result from Botox use, including pain, swelling of the injection area, nausea and indigestion.
The study was conducted by researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar and Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar, and published in the journal Obesity Surge, according to a statement by Weill Cornell Medical Monday.
The study said data available on human studies did not suggest that Botox injections may lead to long-term and sustainable weight loss, although such treatment has been successful in early studies of animals.
The study also warned of side effects that may result from the use of Botox, and include pain, swelling of the injection area, nausea and indigestion.
"Most of the clinical trials we reviewed showed that some obese patients who underwent botox injections using endoscopy were feeling full," said Dr. Shahrad Taheri, assistant professor of medicine and co-director of clinical investigations at Weill Cornell Medical Center and senior consultant at the National Center for Obesity at Hamad Medical Corporation. Early and late have gastric emptying, but this has not translated into weight loss in a large or sustainable manner and because the injection of stomach muscles with Botox may cause undesirable side effects, and because the effectiveness of such a procedure is not proven, it is not In the treatment of maximum of obesity.

Botox is associated with cosmetic surgery for its ability to soften or conceal wrinkles of the face, neck, etc. It affects the muscles that cause wrinkles of the skin with temporary paralysis, and then relax those muscles and the disappearance of wrinkles.
Botox is also known as Botulinum A, a neurotoxin-derived neurotoxin known as clostridium botulinum, which causes temporary paralysis by blocking a kind of neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine.
The theory behind the injection of Botox is about paralyzing the muscles responsible for the movement of food will make the stomach feel fuller longer, and then the feeling will decrease the hunger and eat less, and in the end will lose some weight.
