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