Alevere therapy consists of four main elements. The first element is a nutrition programme. Second element’s a ultrasound treatment, which breaks down the fat inside the fat cells. The third element is a skin-tightening treatment, so as you lose the weight, the skin tightens back, so you’re not left with the saggy, baggy tissue that can be associated with significant weight loss. And finally, and what I consider the most important part of the programme, is our lifetime maintenance programme, so that every patient who completes the programme, they’re enrolled in our lifetime maintenance programme to make sure that they keep the weight off, and there’s no cost to that. We want patients to keep the weight off long-term. It’s one of our main aims of the business.

In terms of results and speed of results the typical weight loss for a female patient would be a stone a month. And a typical weight loss for a male patient would be a stone and a half. And some patients slightly quicker than that and some might be a little bit slower. But generally that’s the average length of time it would take a patient to lose those sorts of weights. So myself for example when I did the programme, I weighed over 20 stone and I lost seven stone two pounds in 20 weeks. And that was, that’s fairly normal. I’ve spoken to patients since who’ve lost a greater amount of weight quicker than I did. And I’ve spoken to patients it’s maybe taken them 24 weeks to lose the same amount of weight. But on average a stone a month for females and a stone and a half for males.

One of the most important things about Alevere therapy is that the treatments are completely medically supervised by qualified general practitioners. If you want to check out their credentials, go on to the GMCs website, the General Medical Council’s website, type in the GPs names, which are all on our website, and you can check out their credentials and see that they are valid, proper GPs. They are medical doctors and we pride ourselves on only employing the highest, highest calibre of GPs to work with our patients in the clinics.

The best way to find out how long the programme is gonna take is to come and have a consultation with one of the doctors. The advantage of that is that we can do a range of non invasive tests that are gonna give us an accurate assessment of the amount of time it will take for your body to use up the excess fat that you’re currently storing. So, book a consultation would be my best advice for that.

In terms of success, success can be measured in many different ways. The most obvious level of success that we’re providing is astonishing, safe, rapid weight loss. But I’m yet to receive a thank you card, of which we receive a lot, hundreds now, from our patients, I’m yet to receive a thank you card saying, “Thank you for helping me lose seven stone in 20 weeks.” The thank you cards we get say things like, “Thank you for changing my life. “Thank you for giving me my life back. “Thank you for helping me feel amazing “on my wedding day, in my wedding dress.” That’s the real benefit, that’s the stuff, that’s why I got into this, that’s why I opened the clinic. After my own weight loss journey, I knew that the huge positive effect and difference that it had had on my own self esteem and on my life in general.
