Losing Weight with the Allurion Smart Capsule in South Florida
At Khrom MedSpa and Weight Loss, proudly serving Coral Springs, FL and the Miami area, we offer the Allurion Smart Capsule — an advanced, non-surgical weight loss treatment designed to help patients lose weight safely without surgery, endoscopy, or anesthesia.
This swallowable gastric balloon system provides structured, medically supervised weight loss for adults who have struggled to achieve results with lifestyle changes alone.
What Is the Allurion Smart Capsule?
The Allurion Smart Capsule is a swallowable gastric balloon indicated for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30 and 40 kg/m² who have not achieved adequate weight loss through diet and exercise.
Unlike traditional gastric balloons, this system:
- Requires no endoscopy
- Requires no anesthesia
- Does not require removal
- Is placed during a short in-office visit
Once swallowed, the capsule is filled with fluid inside the stomach. It remains in place for approximately four months, helping patients feel full sooner and reduce portion sizes naturally. After treatment, the balloon deflates and passes naturally.
How the Procedure Works
At Khrom MedSpa and Weight Loss in Coral Springs:
- The Smart Capsule is swallowed in the office.
- Placement is confirmed.
- The balloon is filled with sterile fluid.
- The catheter is removed.
- The balloon remains in place for about four months.
- It naturally deflates and exits the body without a removal procedure.
Patients typically return home the same day.
Who Is a Candidate?
This treatment may be appropriate for adults aged 22–65 with BMI 30–40 kg/m² who:
- Have not achieved sufficient weight loss with lifestyle modification
- Prefer a non-surgical option
- Wish to avoid anesthesia
- Want structured physician supervision
A full medical consultation at Khrom MedSpa and Weight Loss, serving Coral Springs and the greater Miami area, determines eligibility.
