Backed by Science
The Allurion program was developed through peer-reviewed clinical studies and 15 years of research.
How Allurion Was Born
2009 — Harvard, Boston. Dr. Shantanu Gaur and Dr. Samuel Levy began working on a question at Harvard Medical School: "Can an effective weight-management tool be built without endoscopy or surgery?"
After years of research and development, the swallowable capsule technology became reality. The first placement took place in 2015.
As of 2026, Allurion has been used by more than 200,000 patients in over 60 countries. FDA PMA approval was granted in February 2026.

Clinical Studies
Ienca et al. — 1,770 Consecutive Patients
Obesity Surgery, 2020
A multicenter retrospective study conducted at 19 centers. Data from 1,770 consecutive patients in the procedure-less swallowable balloon program. Mean TBWL of 14.9% and a strong safety profile were confirmed.
Allurion + Tirzepatide Combination
Allurion, February 2026
The first study combining Allurion with the GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide. A synergistic effect was observed, with a mean TBWL of 23% at 12 months (preliminary results).
Weight Regain After GLP-1 Discontinuation
EClinicalMedicine / Lancet, 2025
A mean regain of +5.63 kg was observed when GLP-1 medications were discontinued. This finding underlines the importance of long-term weight-management strategies after drug therapy.
IGB + Semaglutide Synergy
Obesity Surgery, 2025
The combination of an intragastric balloon with semaglutide was shown to create a synergistic effect, with significant additional weight loss compared with either approach alone.
Global Safety Profile
Allurion Technologies, 2026
Real-world safety data from more than 200,000 placements. High tolerability and a low rate of serious adverse events. The most common side effects are transient nausea and discomfort.
Average values do not represent individual results. TBWL = Total Body Weight Loss. Every clinical outcome varies from person to person.
