Allurion Gastric Balloon
The Weight Loss Balloon Pill
The Allurion Balloon is a revolutionary gastric balloon that creates the feeling of fullness by taking up space in your stomach. The balloon is soft and flexible allowing it to be packed inside a capsule for easy placement. It is the first gastric balloon that requires no surgery, endoscopy, or anaesthesia for placement or removal.
​
This effective programme is based on good healthcare and good science. Allurion is just that: it is a proven programme that takes a holistic approach to losing weight. It combines the high-tech balloon solution with a full package of personalised coaching to help you develop healthy diet and lifestyle habits that can remain with you long after your balloon has gone.
