A fast and efficient procedure
The Elipse Balloon is swallowed during a standard 20-minute consultation.|footnote-89| It passes out naturally approximately 16 weeks later.|asterisk-293|
Elipse is a breakthrough in simplicity: there is no surgery, no endoscopy|asterisk-293| and no anaesthesia required. The programme offers demonstrated efficacy alongside the convenience of a walk-in placement. Your patient enjoys the privacy of fast and effective outpatient treatment at your clinic. This personalised approach means no one in their immediate circle needs to know they have had the placement.
Effective results
After approximately 16 weeks of Elipse therapy, patients lose an average of 10 to 15kgs (1.57 to 2.36 stone).|footnote-90| |footnote-302| |footnote-296| |footnote-297| |footnote-295| |footnote-298| |footnote-299| |footnote-300| |footnote-301| |footnote-303|
When coupled with a 16-week intensive lifestyle modification, Elipse leads to significant weight loss compared to lifestyle modification alone.
However, a temporary balloon does not mean temporary weight loss. One study showed that 72% of average weight loss can be sustained after 12 months.|footnote-90|
Multidisciplinary support
Patients receive medical and nutritional support for the duration of the programme, along with an app connected to a body composition scale and health tracker to track their progress.
Elipse is more than "just a balloon". It’s a fully supported weight-loss programme that is tailored to individual needs. It provides your patients with the nutritional support and exercise guidance they need to make life-changing habits to kick-start their weight-loss journey.|asterisk-307|
