A unique and ultra-innovative device, the Allurion gastric balloon allows you to lose weight quickly and sustainably. This product does not require endoscopy, anesthesia or surgery, and is aimed at all people who are overweight or obese: it is the first and only gastric balloon to be swallowed without surgery in the world, supported by the complete Allurion Program. Benoît Chardon, International Director of Allurion, explains the success of this balloon.
The Allurion gastric balloon exists thanks to a unique technology. Can you tell us more?
It took six years of scientific research to develop this device, which allows the patient to experience a feeling of satiety and therefore to reduce their diet. How does it work ? The balloon is contained in a capsule, which the patient swallows, under strict medical supervision. Once the device has been placed in the stomach and the control has been carried out using an X-ray, the doctor fills the balloon with a liquid, similar to physiological saline, until it reaches the size of a grapefruit. The procedure lasts regarding fifteen minutes and does not require endoscopy, anesthesia or surgery. A real comfort for the patient!
How long does the device last?
The Allurion Balloon is eliminated naturally following 16 weeks, thanks to its very thin and very flexible film. During this period, the patient is rigorously monitored by a team of doctors, nutritionists and coaches in order to adopt good eating habits. The objective is to learn or relearn how to eat well, to begin adequate physical activity in order to improve one’s well-being. Contrary to draconian diets, our method applies over the long term and makes it possible to obtain rapid and lasting results. On average, patients lose 10-15% of their total weight in 16 weeks. And Up to 95% of average weight loss can be maintained 1 year following balloon removal.
Tools complete this program.

The patient can weigh themselves several times a week and if the results are not satisfactory, the team rebalances the program.
