How it Works
How does the Allurion Gastric Balloon work?
Formerly known as the ‘Elipse Balloon,’ the Allurion Balloon is an innovative pill balloon capsule designed to be swallowed under the guidance of our Healthcare Professionals, eliminating the need for anesthesia or endoscopy*. The inflation of the Balloon in your stomach is swiftly confirmed through quick x-rays, making the entire procedure a brief 15-minute outpatient visit. Throughout the process, you’ll be supported by the Allurion Connected Scale, Health Tracker, and App.
This safe and non-permanent solution, recommended by doctors, can jumpstart an average weight loss of 10-15% of your body weight in just 16 weeks, complemented by our fully supported 6-month lifestyle Program. After approximately 16 weeks, the pill balloon naturally degrades and leaves the body. The lasting results extend beyond the balloon’s presence, as you develop new food preferences, adjust to smaller portion sizes, and gain a deeper understanding of your body, leading to sustainable results rather than enduring constant yo-yo dieting. The Allurion Balloon provides a secure and non-permanent means to initiate your weight-loss journey.
