Enclosed in a swallowable capsule with a thin catheter, the soft polyurethane balloon is filled with 550ml of fluid, expanding to the sise of a grapefruit upon correct placement. This inflation induces a sensation of fullness, aiding in portion control and promoting weight loss. Remarkably, the procedure is both non-invasive and efficient, offering a breakthrough for those seeking an alternative to conventional weight loss interventions. After 16 weeks, the balloon deflates automatically and is excreted naturally, eliminating the need for additional procedures. Explore the transformative possibilities of the Allurion™ Balloon at Healthy Weight Australia, where innovation meets personalised care.
