Allurion Gastric Balloon - Non Surgical

Allurion Gastric Balloon is the newest method for weight loss. Unlike all other weight loss surgeries, the Allurion Gastric Balloon does not require anesthesia or endoscopy for placement.

Allurion Gastric Balloon is the first non-surgical weight loss method in the world. It comes in the form of a balloon capsule that is swallowed under the supervision and guidance of a qualified health professional.

The concept of this method is similar to the normal gastric balloon, but without endoscopy. After swallowing, the Allurion balloon is inflated in the stomach and makes the patient feel fuller more easily, which accelerates weight loss. In other words, because patients have a constant feeling of fullness, they eat smaller portions and can lose weight more quickly.

The Allurion gastric balloon is a safe and non-permanent solution that allows people to lose up to 10% -15% of their body weight. The balloon remains in the stomach for about 16 weeks, but the results can last a lifetime if the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle.
