Alizonne Therapy Q & A

What is Alizonne Therapy®?

Alizonne Therapy® is an extremely successful medically designed and supervised programme which will transform your body size and shape in a remarkable way without any surgery. We describe it as ‘Contour Shaping Weight Reduction®’ without surgery.

What is involved?

An initial doctor’s consultation, blood tests and computerised metabolic rate test are followed by commencement of the treatment. You will follow a prescribed diet, plentiful in natural vegetables combined with natural nutritional supplements of proteins, vitamins and minerals which are all precisely formulated to keep your metabolism working in an optimum way to constantly break down stored fat. You will attend the clinic for monitoring and for weekly treatments which use modern, non-surgical technology to break down diet resistant fat stores under the skin and to cause the skin to increase in elasticity and tightness during the weight loss. These treatments optimise the body shape and body contour in quite a remarkable way as the weight is lost.

How do these weekly treatments work?

They use non-surgical medical ultrasound technology to break down the fat stores under the skin. In addition, collagen and elastin fibre producing cells are vigorously stimulated to increase the production of these substances within the skin. This results in optimisation of the body shape and improvement of skin tightness and elasticity so that cosmetic results of the weight loss are dramatically improved.

Can I not just exercise to tone up my body and improve my shape and skin?

Exercise will tone up your muscles and we definitely encourage it, but unfortunately it will do very little to improve the skin or the layers of trapped fatty tissue under the skin. The treatments given in the clinic will reduce the fatty layers under the skin and improve the skin tone and elasticity, making a great improvement in your body shape and appearance after the weight loss.

If I am following a prescribed diet, won’t I be hungry?

Most diets make us hungry, short of energy and irritable. These are all symptoms we have experienced when we have not eaten for some time and they are due to low blood sugar. This is because as we cut our food down, less sugars are available in the bloodstream which then makes us feel bad and stimulates our appetite.

The Alizonne Therapy® is specifically designed to prevent this problem and you will find that when on the Alizonne Therapy® Programme you will almost be eating too much food. You will not be hungry at all, nor will you be short of energy and the use of the specially formulated nutritional supplements and the ultrasound treatments ensures that your blood is never short of sugars during the treatment. This ensures that you have plenty of energy and that you will not be hungry at all.

Do you prescribe drugs to make me lose weight?

Absolutely not. No drugs are used during the Alizonne Thereapy® Programme. Drugs for weight loss are generally not effective and some have unpleasant and even dangerous side effects. In as far as they do work, there is often a rapid regaining of weight after the patient stops taking them.

Are the supplements you use natural?

Yes – they are all specialised formulations, custom manufactured for our treatment programme from natural proteins from milk and soya sources.

I’m milk intolerant; will that be a problem?

No – almost all milk intolerance is due to lactose intolerance (the sugar contained in milk). All our milk derived supplements have had the lactose removed so there will be no lactose intolerance problems.

Can you treat diabetic patients?

Yes we can and have very successfully treated many diabetic patients and in some cases the patient’s diabetes has completely resolved as a result of the correction of their body weight.

I have high blood pressure and cholesterol, can I be treated?

Yes – most certainly. We almost always see considerable falls in blood pressure and cholesterol levels as a result of the treatment.

What kind of results can I expect?

The best way to see results of our actual patients is to look on our website www.alizonne.co.uk under Case Studies. There you will find over 40 before and after photographs of actual patients we have treated. Alternatively, call us and we will send you an information folder containing many of the photographs of patients we have treated.

The results are dramatic and often life-changing. Many stones of weight can easily be lost with this therapy and the body’s shape and contours are dramatically improved. Often our patients look many years younger and they can be almost unrecognisable after treatment. The doctor will advise regarding your own individual programme and optimal amount of weight loss at your initial consultation.

How fast can I expect to lose my excess weight?

Patients vary depending on starting, weight, sex and their metabolic rate (which is measured in the clinic) but most patients can expect to average between 5 and 10 kg of weight loss per month (11 lbs to 1st 8lbs per month) throughout the treatment. Some larger patients and men achieve faster weight loss than this. The doctor will calculate your individual expected rate of weight loss during your initial consultation.

How will I be medically supervised?

You will see one of our own medical doctors for a full assessment and consultation before you start your treatment. You will then see our doctor monthly and will be monitored with blood tests at approximately monthly intervals. You will see the clinic nurse or therapist every week who will inform the doctor immediately if they or you have any problems or concerns.

Won’t I regain weight after treatment?

This is prevented in several ways. Firstly the treatment is designed so that your metabolic rate is not suppressed during the weight loss. Often dieting and reducing your food will reduce your metabolic rate as your body shuts your metabolism down as a survival mechanism. This makes weight regain after dieting almost inevitable. The Alizonne treatment is designed so that this does NOT happen and your metabolic rate is kept stimulated throughout your weight loss. You are phased off the treatment gradually at the end to stabilise your weight and to prevent any weight regain. Your metabolic rate is then accurately measured and once this has been done, a detailed consultation with our doctor will ensure that you have all the information you will ever need to keep your weight stable for the future. We will offer monthly follow-up to monitor your progress and ensure you are not having any problems with maintaining your new weight and body shape.

How successful is this treatment?

This treatment is extremely successful and over 90% of all patients that we treat reach their target weight. We have treated many doctors, dentists, nurses and other health professionals in our clinics as well as people from all walks of life.

I only have a few pounds to lose but my body is out of shape, can I still be treated?

Yes you are ideal for our shorter programme called Alizonne Lite®. This is devised to focus principally on body contouring with only modest weight loss.

Why haven’t I heard of Alizonne Therapy® before?

Our clinics have only a limited capacity and quickly become full. Therefore, as a rule we do not advertise. The dramatic success of our treatment and simple word of mouth keeps our clinics full and busy all year round. It is only when we open a new clinic in a new area that we need to do any advertising or marketing. Alizonne Cheshire is our latest, brand new clinic, new to the Cheshire area and we therefore need to inform all the local people about the service we provide and the results we can achieve.

How can I be confident in your claims?

Look at our website; view the ITV 1 documentary (available on our website) that was made about us; view the press articles and read all the client testimonials. Look at all our case study results photos and give us a call to ask any questions. If you still have any doubts we can put you in touch with many of our current or former patients so that you can talk confidentially on a one to one basis with them
