Weight Loss, Body Contouring & Skin Tightening
Edinburgh

Treatment Details

At dermalclinic® we provide both the Alevere Therapy® & Weight Loss Injection Programmes® for weight loss, body contouring and skin tightening.

For those who are ineligible or don’t like injections, Alevere enables our clients to lose an average of 1.5 stones per month for men and 1 stone per month for women – without the risks of surgery!

Our Weight Loss Injections enable a weight loss of up to 26% of body weight and our programmes help ensure excess fat is lost rather than muscle.

Some people can lose weight even more quickly!

• Exercise is not required, but recommended
• With Alevere you'll be eating more often than now
• With our Weight Loss Injection Programme© you'll be eating the same food, just less
• There's full medical supervision throughout
• You'll know your personal daily calorie requirement

When we're younger we can often eat as much as we like without it having too much of an effect on us but as we get older, we become less active. We spend more time behind a desk and do less exercise each week. Sometimes weight gain can be linked to an event such as childbirth, divorce, bullying or bereavement. Stress can be a trigger for weight gain, especially around the stomach, and, ironically, we often eat more to comfort ourselves.

Exercise has so many benefits that it shouldn't be ignored (and definitely encouraged) but in our busy lifestyles it can sometimes be a struggle to fit in 30 minutes 3 times per week. Being overweight can also damage our joints which can then affect our ability to exercise.

While the mantra of 'move more, eat less' holds true it must be appreciated that what we do eat has changed significantly over the past few decades. Sugar is now a predominant constituent in our diet and, even with exercise, affects our metabolism greatly. The challenge of weight management has never been so difficult, especially as our metabolism slows with age. The number of overweight or obese people in the world is now greater than the entire population of the world in 1927, so there are plenty of us with the same problem!

At Dermal Clinic® we wanted to provide a weight loss programme for our patients – not a fad diet, or one that's promoted by a celebrity selling a book or video. We wanted an effective way to lose weight rapidly that also addressed the problems of everyday life. We wanted to avoid surgery. We wanted the most effective weight loss therapy available, and we eventually found it – The Alevere Therapy®.

As technology has advanced and new services have become available, we can now utilise our years of experience and medical knowledge to provide another extremely effective method of losing weight - The Weight Loss Injection Programme®

We can't go back in time and change the trigger of your weight gain or change the choices you've made in the past, but unlike any other weight loss programmes that we know of, we can help you to lose weight very quickly whilst being fully medically supervised. And that's what most of us want, isn't it – losing weight quickly? And with a medical practitioner to tell us what to do and how to do it – safely! Alevere and Weight Loss Injections can achieve astounding weight loss and, due to the accurate body assessments it can also be managed longer term.

The medical team’s direction can ensure that your health is optimised throughout. This is a perfect alternative to gastric surgery or purchasing cheap online products without optimum support. Surgery always has risks. Both of our programmes have options to reduce the possibility of loose skin following rapid weight loss thereby avoiding another issue that's typical with bariatric surgery.

Being overweight can cause 13 types of cancer and is associated with 325 diseases. Losing excess fat quickly can lead to rapid improvements in quality of life and improve mortality.

Around 1000 people per week undergo the Alevere Therapy at medical clinics across the UK. This is an extremely popular, cost effective and rapid method for losing weight in a safe manner with the reassurance of medical support throughout. Most new patients come from word of mouth referrals as the results speak for themselves!

One of our recent patients, who wishes to remain anonymous, kindly contacted us with this message,

“I have just finished my Alevere programme and have lost 17.6kg (2.8 stone) in 14 weeks putting me in the middle of all the normal ranges for my height and age. I am absolutely thrilled with the results!

“I, like so many others, had tried various diets and plans over the last 6 years to try and lose weight – Diet Chef, low carb, calorie counting, 10 gym sessions a week, 5/2 diet and most recently Slimming World, on which I had lost 1/2 stone and had plateaued. Nothing seemed to be working for me until Alevere.

“I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Dermal Clinic and never looked back.

“After finding out the costs involved, I considered if it was for me but then thought, yes, the plan is expensive but if you are going to invest your money in to anything, why not it be your health? I am so glad I went ahead. I am healthier and happier in my own skin now than I have been for about 15 years.

“Every staff member at Dermal Clinic was fantastic. I felt 100% comfortable and welcomed every at every visit and I looked forward to my sessions every week.

“The treatments themselves took a few weeks to get used to but I actually began to find them very relaxing. Similarly, the food side of things took a while to get my head around but once I had found my flow with it, it gave me a structure that I found very easy to stick to. Once the food cravings went away, it just became life. It is “do or don't” with this diet so having the choice taken away from me was the biggest help I could have had. Unlike other plans where my brain said “ach, just have it and you can be good the rest of the week” (which never worked), there was no cheating, no excuses and therefore consistent weight loss results. I didn't really find social occasions an issue as I just ate before I went and drank mint tea or water. I was very honest with my family and friends and once they understood what I was doing, I got nothing but support and understanding from them. They could see I was losing weight fast and there was no point in hiding it – I wasn't ashamed of what I was doing, and I didn't want them to think I was ill!

“Overall, I am so glad I went ahead with the Alevere programme and would recommend it to anyone who has tried the alternatives and struggled like I did. Thank you to everyone at Dermal Clinic for all the support and guidance through the process.”

Here's some of what David Giles said:

“It took me around ten years to get to the state I was in, but thanks to Dermal Clinic and Alevere, it only took me quarter of a year to get out of it.

“Admitting you have an issue with your weight and that you need help to resolve it is something than many men may find difficult as it can be slightly embarrassing.

“It is made worse as diet programmes, products and advertising are all targeted at women – which just heightens the embarrassment factor.

“However the fantastic thing about Alevere is that the results are noticeable instantly. You literally see the pounds falling off and this motivates you to keep going with the process as you know what you are doing is 100% worth it.”

Here's what Teresa said:

“In April of this year, I was hardly able to walk due to severe pain in the back, and my cholesterol was very high. I was facing the possibility of spinal surgery and taking statins indefinitely so I decided that I would need to lose some weight.

“I came to Alevere because I knew I would be under medical supervision as this was important to me given my back problems. I never expected to lose the amount of weight I did over such a short space of time. The staff were all amazing and supportive, the programme easy to follow, the food enjoyable and the results speak for themselves.

“My cholesterol is now at normal level and the weight loss has helped my back problems immensely. I would whole heartedly recommend Alevere to anyone who wants to safely lose weight and improve their health and lifestyle.”

The NHS has identified excessive weight as a ticking time bomb for the health of the nation and a major financial problem in the future. Initiatives have been put in place to address the issue encouraging an increase in exercise and healthier eating and an increase in the number of weight related television programmes. However, the NHS & press only quote the average daily calorie requirements commonly quoting 2500 per day, whereas we find most of our patients have much lower needs at around 1700 or fewer. No wonder people put weight on if they've never had their metabolic rate measured! With our weight loss programmes we measure your resting metabolic rate at the start and throughout. This all goes towards ensuring success in maintaining your ideal weight.

The Alevere Therapy weight loss programme is suitable for people who wish to lose weight rapidly and safely by dietary means and starts with an assessment to gather the necessary details to ensure we can assess your current health status and monitor your progress safely. These details include height and weight, but we also take bloods and a full body composition analysis. If approved by the doctor you then attend the clinic weekly to collect special nutrition, supplements and undertake two treatments to help with reducing fat levels and tightening the skin. Reassurance is provided with ongoing medical support. Further details can be provided during a free Alevere Discovery Chat.

The Weight Loss Injectable Programme is suitable for people who meet certain criteria involving weight classification and measurements. The programme starts with an assessment to gather the necessary details to ensure we can assess your current health status and monitor your progress safely. These details include height and weight, but we also take bloods and a full body composition analysis. If eligible, you have a consultation and can choose to progress with one of 3 programme options depending on budget and goals. All options include ongoing medical support.
