Allurion Program
The effective weight loss solution
Allurion Program also known as Elipse is an intragastric balloon that’s swallowed and then filled with a saline solution, so it takes up space in your stomach, creating a sensation of fullness and accelerating weight loss. Unlike other intragastric balloons, it doesn’t require an endoscopy to place it. The balloon also deflates on its own after four months, so you don’t have to return for a removal procedure.
You can lose an average of 10 to 15kgs (1.57 to 2.36 stone) in 16 weeks thanks to the balloon and a fully supported lifestyle program.
