The Allurion Balloon is the world’s first and only gastric balloon without the need for surgery, endoscopy* or anaesthesia for balloon placement and removal. The balloon is swallowed as a capsule during a 20-minute placement which means less downtime or time off work. The balloon stays in the stomach for a period of time, during which it helps you to eat smaller portions, consume fewer calories and achieve significant weight loss. Designed to pass naturally at approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon maximises weight loss while minimising time spent in the body.
