Case Study: Confidence is Boosted After Coming to Ashley and Martin

April 19th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

It had been five years since Theo* had first noticed hair on his pillow in the morning.  Since that time he had tried using over the counter remedies to stop the hair loss.  Unfortunately nothing had worked and he had continued to steadily lose hair.

Theo wasn’t sure where he could go to get help with this issue, so he went online to research.  After ending up on Ashley and Martin’s website he filled in the online enquiry form and was called by a representative to offer him a free consultation.

In chatting about his situation the consultant found out that Theo was under a lot of stress in his personal life.  This stress added to the hair loss that was being caused genetically from the thinning and baldness with the men on both sides of his family.  Theo was diagnosed with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood type IV, after a scalp examination.

The consultant felt the best form of treatment for Theo would be a RealGROWTH® program consisting of oral anti-androgens, a topical vasodilator, dietary supplements and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).  Theo decided it was best to sign up for a program before his hair became any worse as he would not have the same high chance of regrowing it if he waited too long.

When Theo came in for his four month progress check-up he told his consultant he was feeling good about the compliments he was receiving.  His friends were impressed with how much better his hair was looking and his hair dresser had also commented about how much thicker and healthier Theo’s hair was. For Theo, coming to Ashley and Martin had boosted his confidence about the way he looked and reduced a little of the stress he was under.

Case Study: Shedding in Time of Stress after Initial Regrowth Managed with Ashley and Martin

April 5th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Twenty-three years old and in the early stages of hair loss, Danny* came to Ashley and Martin to discuss the minor thinning of the crown he was experiencing. It wasn’t worrying him greatly at this time and after finding out about the treatment he went away to think about it. Two years passed before Danny returned to speak to a consultant again. The minor thinning he had at 23 had advanced into established hair loss in the crown when he returned at 25.

For the past six months he had been thinking about returning to speak to someone about the progression of his hair loss. He had tried over the counter remedies when he had first started to lose his hair several years previously and now, having watched it advance quickly, decided to go straight back to the experts.

Danny confided that his hair loss was now making him feel insecure about his appearance but he had forgotten most of what he was told about treatment. The consultant talked through what was involved medical treatment with Danny again and he decided to go ahead with treatment straight away this time. He had been diagnosed with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood V this time around and he was not going to give his hair loss a chance to advance any further.

At the four month mark Danny’s program was going extremely well. He came in to see his consultant for a check-up and progress photos to be taken. He reported the shedding had stopped completely quite some time ago and he was extremely happy with how much thicker his hair had become.

A month later Danny went through a period of extreme stress in his personal and work life; to make matters worse he began to notice his hair begin to shed again as a physical reaction to this stress. Danny began to look closely at his crown to see where the hair was falling from. To his delight the regrowth he was experiencing from his RealGROWTH® medication was preventing the shedding from impacting the density of his hair.

Case Study: Client Recommends Ashley and Martin to Friends Needing Hair Loss Help

March 22nd, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Over a decade had passed since Bailey* had begun to lose his hair.  His wife knew how he felt about his patchy hair and bald spot, it was something he was sensitive about and she encouraged him to treat his hair loss to help him feel better about the way he looked.   He had tried using over the counter remedies but his hair had continued to fall out.  Despondent about his chances of actually regrowing his hair he called Ashley and Martin after watching our ads on TV for the past year.

After discussing his family history of hair loss, in which Bailey confided the men on his mother’s side of the family had lost their hair, his consultant diagnosed his advanced hair loss as Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood V.  Bailey’s busy and stressful life was also exacerbating his genetic hair loss.

Bailey saw the Ashley and Martin doctor to further discuss his medical history, have a check-up and get his medication prescribed.  His asthma and use of Ventolin to treat this condition did not preclude Bailey from commencing on a RealGROWTH® program.  Anti-androgen medication in hand, Bailey left the office hopeful.  Bailey’s busy lifestyle prevented him from coming in to make use of the Low Level Laser Therapy included in his program.  However, he used his anti-androgens and topical solution daily together with dietary supplements and specialised hygiene products.

After only sixteen weeks on the program Bailey came in to see his consultant and he couldn’t have been happier.  People were complimenting him on how much better his hair looked and he was telling everyone it was thanks to Ashley and Martin.  His dramatic results had improved the way he felt about himself to the extent he wanted to show them to all his friends who needed help with their hair.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Client Takes Control of Hair Loss

March 9th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Now 37 years old, Daniel* had immigrated to Australia a few years previously. He had begun losing his hair over the past three to four years and being conscious of his health, eating well and exercising every day, Daniel decided that now was the time to take control of his hair loss.

Daniel went online to find the solution to his hair loss problem and clicked on the first result that was returned. Impressed with Ashley and Martin’s website and the information he found there, Daniel submitted an internet enquiry to book a free consultation.

The consultant examined Daniel’s hair and discussed medical and family history with him. Daniel was in good health and disclosed that his maternal uncle had lost his hair as had his maternal grandfather. With this dominant hair loss gene so prevalent in Daniel’s family and the pattern of thinning he was experiencing his consultant diagnosed Daniel with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood classification III – IV.

Daniel’s consultant recommended he commence on a full RealGROWTH® medications program consisting of RealGROWTH® solution, oral anti-androgens, laser treatments and herbal supplements. Having already researched Ashley and Martin’s 98% success rate and treatment for early stage hair loss, Daniel decided to go ahead with treatment straight away, opting for a money back guarantee as well.

Although Daniel was unable to come to the clinic on a regular basis to have his laser treatments, his hair began to regrow with the combination of the other components of his treatment plan. Taking a second set of photographs at the 16 week mark to chart Daniel’s progress on the program, his consultant could see Daniel’s hair had not only begun to regrow through the crown but started to substantially thicken throughout all the areas experiencing shedding. Pleased with the improvement in Daniel’s hair density and overall hair health, the consultant expected further regrowth as Daniel continued on the rest of his program. Daniel was satisfied with the results he had achieved in the initial phase of his treatment and looks forward to being able to refer his friends to Ashley and Martin as his regrowth continues.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Patient Sees Healthier Hair

February 18th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Sullivan* was 21 and already concerned about the thinning of his hair.  Over the past 18 months he had noticed his shoulder length hair begin to thin at the front and part.  In addition to this thinning Sullivan’s hair line was rapidly receding at the temples.

After submitting an internet enquiry on the Ashley and Martin website, Sullivan was contacted by a representative to make an appointment to come in and speak to a consultant.  Sullivan told his consultant he was hoping to stop his hair from falling out and eventually regrow his lost hair.  After diagnosing him with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood III, the consultant showed Sullivan what could be achieved with medical intervention, explaining to him the benefit of each component of the program.  Sullivan told his consultant he had already been using an over the counter topical solution which had not worked for him.  The benefits of Ashley and Martin’s products over non-prescription remedies were discussed and Sullivan was happy knowing he was not being sold the same thing as he had already tried.

Needing to go home and work out his finances as he was still a student on a limited income, Sullivan was pleasantly surprised to find there was no pressure for him to sign up straight away and options were given to him to take advantage of special offers if he came back at a later date.

A week later Sullivan came back to discuss the medications involved in the RealGROWTH® program with the in-clinic doctor.  As he was very anxious about the idea of taking medication, the clinic doctor suggested he start on a lower dose and gradually work up to a full dose as well as returning to see the doctor in four weeks for a review.

Taking advantage of the laser treatments included in his program, Sullivan attended the clinic fortnightly.  With no further concerns about his medication he continued on his program without coming for a review.

Chatting with his consultant at his four month progress check-up Sullivan said he was happy with the results he had achieved so far.  He can see his hair is noticeably healthier with an increase in density, his consultant also pointed out to him the considerable amount of new, short hairs regrowing at his temples.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Treatment Sees Wife Happy

February 2nd, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Daniel’s* wife was concerned for her husband who was anxious about his aggressive hair loss.  Owning and running a restaurant of their own was a stressful enough lifestyle; the concern over going bald was a worry that neither Daniel nor his wife needed.

Daniel had tried using an over the counter remedy he found at his local chemist, but even with daily application it could not stop Daniel’s hair from continuing to fall out rapidly.  Afraid he would be completely bald within a few short years as he had gone from a full head of hair to his current situation in under 5 years, Daniel went online to find help.

Contacting Ashley and Martin through our internet enquiry system, Daniel booked in to speak to a consultant at his closest clinic and brought his wife along for support. He spoke to a consultant and confided that he had watched his uncle on his mother’s side go bald and was extremely worried this would happen very shortly to him. A diagnosis of Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood IV was evident with the dominant hair loss gene from his maternal side present.

His medical history revealed Daniel had high blood pressure and this was noted to discuss with the doctor should he choose to proceed with treatment.   Aside from this Daniel was in good health and his consultant recommended a full medical RealGROWTH® program for Daniel. Realistic projected results were discussed and Daniel was happy with the course of treatment recommended.  He signed up for a RealGROWTH® program and booked his first doctor’s appointment.

Complementing the medications with regular fortnightly laser treatments, Daniel’s hair began to grow back more rapidly than it had fallen out.  By the time he returned to see his Ashley and Martin consultant for his four month check-up he was overjoyed at the new hair growth his program had achieved.  His progress photos were overwhelmingly positive and he told his consultant that his wife was extremely happy with the results also.

Case Study: Hair Loss Research Leads Student to Ashley and Martin Melbourne

January 14th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Urged by a family member to look into treatment options for his already receding hair line, 20 year old student Brenton* started to research hair loss companies online.  Two months later, confident he had researched his best options, Brenton made an internet enquiry with Ashley and Martin.

Coming in for a free consultation Brenton told his consultant he had begun to notice his hair falling out approximately six months ago.   Both Brenton’s uncle and great grandfather had lost their hair and his consultant diagnosed him with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood III.  His consultant thought a medications program would be most likely to produce the desired results and explained the treatment plan to Brenton.  Brenton had come to the appointment with his mother who had offered to pay for his treatment; and although both of them were happy enough with the information they had received to sign up immediately, Brenton raised concerns about using a topical treatment as he suffered from skin sensitivities.

An appointment was made with the in-clinic doctor for a check-up and to discuss moving forward with treatment taking Brenton’s sensitive skin into account.  The doctor recommended Brenton start with the treatment slowly in order to avoid irritation.

Taking the doctor’s advice Brenton started his program slowly and worked his way up to a full strength treatment.  Although he was initially happy to attend any Ashley and Martin clinic as it was more convenient to attend one close to work rather than home, Brenton found his hectic lifestyle did not allow the time for him to attend laser appointments.  Without reaction to the RealGROWTH® solution he made the decision to continue on his program independently, coming in for his first progress check-up after six months.

Originally Brenton’s consultant had observed his hair to be sparse and fine though his temples and frontal hair line.  Assessing his progress by looking at the current and initial photos side by side both Brenton and his consultant could see that his hair had undeniably become more dense and healthier since enrolling on the RealGROWTH® program.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Restores Faith in Hair Loss Treatment

December 24th, 2015 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

A sceptic who had already been disappointed by another hair loss company, Ilya* had seen Ashley and Martin’s television advertising and decided to find out if our treatment was any different to that which he had already tried.

Thinning all over the top of his head and disillusioned with his previous experience attempting to regrow his hair, Ilya brought his mother and sister who is a pharmacist to the appointment with him.  Ilya discussed with his consultant the treatment he had been given previously and said his hair had only been further regressing in the eighteen months he had been on the treatment.  Worried he would be sold the same thing he had already tried before, leaving him with ever thinning hair for more expense,  the offer of a money back guarantee helped put Ilya’s family’s mind at ease. The family were also encouraged to ask as many questions as they needed about Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® program and the medications used.

The consultant took the time to explain the differences in the treatments plan he had been given previously to the one offered by Ashley and Martin and the reasons why the RealGROWTH® program would produce a better result.  Once they were satisfied they had all the answers they needed Ilya and his family went home to talk it over and assess the information they had been given against what they had received in his last treatment plan.  After several long conversations with his consultant on the phone and regular follow up calls Ilya decided to go ahead and enrol on a RealGROWTH® program.

Shortly after starting his treatment, Ilya could see that his scepticism and mistrust, while understandable, were unnecessary.  With his hair rapidly increasing in density and health he knew he would not need to use his guarantee.  Five months after starting treatment Ilya had comparison photos taken with his consultant and he could see he had achieved in 20 weeks with Ashley and Martin what he had not been able to in a year and a half on his former treatment plan.  Satisfied that RealGROWTH® could produce real, visible results Ilya referred a friend to the program, the highest praise we could ask for.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin GP Assists Client With No Out of Pocket Expense

November 12th, 2015 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Starting with a slow steady shedding of hair four years ago which had become more excessive over the past two years, Jake* came to Ashley and Martin at age 35.

His consultant diagnosed Jake’s hair loss as Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood I.  The shedding of hair Jake was experiencing appeared to be limited to the temple area at this stage, but as time went on there would be no question of Jake advancing further through the stages of hair loss.  Jake had many questions about the medications program, all of which his consultant took the time to answer for him; and at his doctor’s appointment he was found to be in good health, just as Jake had reported to his consultant.

A few weeks after starting his program Jake came back to see the doctor again.  He had wanted to speak to the doctor about the minor amount of musculoskeletal pain he had been experiencing, specifically in the abdominal region and his back. Although quite sure the medication prescribed to Jake to combat his hair loss was not the cause of this pain, the doctor advised Jake to stop taking the oral component of his medications program and return for another check-up in a fortnight.  Jake followed this advice and, as agreed, returned for another check-up having not taken his oral medication for two weeks.  Jake reported that his symptoms were still present.  With the oral medication ruled out as the cause of Jake’s pain the doctor recommended that Jake start taking this again and suggested that he seek treatment from an osteopath for his pain.

As with all RealGROWTH® programs with Ashley and Martin, Jake’s plan had included doctor’s check-ups as needed, so there was no out of pocket cost to Jake to return as needed to quell his concerns about the medications he was taking.  Discussing his progress with his consultant at his four month check-up, Jake could see that although he had been unable to take one component of the medications program for a short time in the initial stages, the combination of the other treatments had been able to prompt a pleasing amount of regrowth of Jake’s own hair in the temple area.  Eight weeks later still Jake made an appointment at Asley and Martin to have another set of progress photos taken and told his consultant he was very happy with the results of his treatment.  He could see that his hair loss had been stopped and his own hair had continued to regrow through his temples.
