In your first appointment with a practitioner, you should clearly explain your expectations of the Alevere Therapy. Your practitioner should then tell you whether this is the right programme for you and whether it can achieve the results you’d like.
Make sure that you obtain as much information as necessary to enable you to make a fully informed decision about it.
The practitioner should also ask for your medical history to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t undergo this weight loss programme. At this point, you would also normally be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the future benefits and possible risks associated with the programme.
Alevere Therapy uses four different techniques to help you achieve your weight loss and body contouring goals:
Nutrition and diet – The Alevere diet and nutrition plan aims to help you lose weight quickly, without omitting healthy amounts of protein and other essential nutrients from your diet. At the start of treatment, you will be provided with a custom formulated diet plan. The initial phases of your diet will be very strict, consisting of a combination of Alevere proteins, fresh salads and vegetables. Alevere proteins are available in a variety of flavours and are suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In addition to a customised diet plan, you will also be provided with an array of nutritional supplements such as potassium, mineral salts, calcium, vitamins, enzymes, trace elements and others as needed. As you lose weight over the course of the programme, your diet and nutrition plan will be gradually re-adjusted and adapted to your personal circumstances – eventually returning to a natural eating pattern.
Ultrasound therapy – Alevere Therapy uses non-invasive, low-frequency ultrasound technology to break down bumpy or uneven subcutaneous fatty tissue present on the abdomen. During treatment, the ultrasound device creates cavities inside of the fat cells, causing them to rupture. This process releases the damaged fat cells into the bloodstream, which are then eventually metabolised by the body.
The Alevere ultrasound technique can be used to treat a maximum depth of 3 cm. The entire treatment process is painless and can usually be completed in about 20 minutes. Ultrasound therapy is an integral part of the treatment process. As a result, multiple weekly sessions are usually necessary throughout the programme.
Connective tissue massage – With the help of an LPG machine (Endermologie®), Alevere Therapy uses connective tissue massage to increase skin elasticity, stimulate collagen production and circulation, and improve contour. The device uses specialised rollers to massage and knead the skin. Connective tissue massage is most frequently used to treat the legs, hips and waist.
Alevere connective tissue massage is typically performed immediately after ultrasound therapy to speed up the metabolic process. The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes. Multiple treatments throughout your programme will be necessary to increase its overall effectiveness.
Results and stabilisation – Once you have achieved desired results through Alevere Therapy, maintenance is a key component to your long-term health. Ideally, you should have the necessary nutritional knowledge to design your own meal plans. Though not required, most physicians recommend that their patients schedule monthly check-up appointments to monitor progress. The longevity of your results are highly dependent upon your dedication to a healthy lifestyle.
