"With the launch of our weight loss program in Asia, our company enters its next phase of rapid expansion,” said Allurion co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Shantanu Gaur, M.D. “Obesity has been on the rise in Asia for decades, but truly frictionless treatment options have been absent. We intend to change that.”

Allurion has already treated over 25,000 individuals in over 30 countries around the world with its 360-degree Allurion weight loss program. According to a study released by the Asian Development Bank Institute, over 40% of adults in Asia are overweight or obese, an increase of close to 20% in just the past 20 years.
