Why Choose the Allurion Gastric Balloon?
Non-Surgical and Quick
The Allurion Balloon is swallowed as a capsule and, once in your stomach, is inflated—all without the need for surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia. The entire procedure takes less than 20 minutes.

On average, patients lose 10-15% of their body weight within 16 weeks.
