Case Study: In-Home Laser Therapy and RealGROWTH Regrows Hair without Clinic Visits

December 10th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Approaching middle age, Justin* had been shedding hair at a worryingly accelerated rate for the past four years. His weakened frontal hair line, balding crown, and widening part line had caused him to be concerned about his appearance for the first time in a long time, and for the past six months, Justin had been thinking about finding a way to treat hair loss. Turning straight to the experts in the field, Justin’s first port of call was Ashley and Martin.

Bringing his partner along to his first consultation, the couple listened to the hair loss solutions presented to them. Fit and healthy with no other underlying medical conditions, a scalp examination had confirmed a diagnosis of male pattern hair loss, Norwood III vertex; and Ashley and Martin’s medical hair loss treatment program was extremely effective in treating this condition. It often had the effect of improving conditions such as the dandruff Justin was suffering also. Offering the couple the option of attending the clinic for laser therapy treatments or their own laser therapy device to use at home, they decided to purchase a laser cap so that Justin could treat his hair in the comfort of his own home at a time that suited his busy schedule.

By the time Justin attended the clinic for his first Ashley and Martin Review of his medical hair loss treatment program, there was no denying that the past four months of treatment had been effective in helping him regrow hair. Whilst most of the results were happening where he was unable to see them, his partner had been able to see his crown and part line cover over with new hair. Looking at the photos taken that day against ones taken in his first appointment, Justin could not believe how quickly his hair was regrowing and he was thrilled that he had been able to beat the hair loss he had inherited from his father.

Case Study: Shocked by Impressive Results in Just Twelve Weeks

November 19th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Shocked his medical hair growth program had produced such impressive results in such a short amount of time, it had only taken twelve weeks before Bassaym’s hair was substantially thicker. A further five weeks later, Bassaym met with his consultant to assess the progress he was making on his program. To track any changes and have a clear picture of how much hair regrew, the consultant had taken photos of his hair from multiple angles in the initial appointment. And during the four month progress review, she put photos taken that day up alongside Bassaym’s original photos, just as she would at subsequent reviews.

When he had first come to Ashley and Martin after hearing about the treatment on TV, his dark, tight curls had clearly shown his scalp through the sparsely populated hair. And although he had not come into the clinic for the regular laser therapy appointments that had been recommended, the photos he was looking at now showed a substantial improvement. The regular use of his nightly RealGROWTH® routine had worked wonders without it. The Norwood level IV loss he had inherited from his family, had all but disappeared.

A gregarious young man who loved to hang out with his friends and socialise when not at university, Bassaym had been losing confidence before he had come to Ashley and Martin. His self-esteem disappearing with his hair. Now 25 years old, Bassaym had been able to regrow hair and regain confidence thanks to his RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program.

Case Study: Friends and Colleagues Notice How Good Client’s Hair Looks During Treatment

October 30th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

In the last six months Jack’s* thinning hair had accelerated, prompting him to give serious consideration to seeking medical hair loss treatment. It had only taken eighteen months to get to this point since his hair had initially started falling out, starting to shed at just 20 years old. Now 22, Jack bypassed home remedies and pharmacy products, finding and contacting Ashley and Martin online. Under increased pressure at work in the last six and a half months, Jack did not need the added stress of losing his hair on top of everything else.

Generally fit and active, Jack had no other medical issues to report that may exacerbate his condition and the consultant diagnosed him with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood III vertex during his first appointment. With an uncle on his father’s side losing his hair as well, Jack had not been surprised to learn that his hair loss was genetic. Intervening in the hair loss process to stop the production of 5α-reductase and support the reactivation of dormant follicles and new, thicker growth, Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program would be ideal for Jack. Accepting his consultant’s suggested course of treatment, Jack signed up to start his treatment during his first appointment and was booked in to see the clinic hair loss doctor straight away.

Despite not attending regular laser appointments, daily use of the rest of his RealGROWTH® program prompted a great deal of positive comments over the coming months. And it was not only the people who knew he was treating his hair that were noticing the difference. Friends and colleagues who he had not told about going to Ashley and Martin were also mentioning how good his hair was looking. With new hair and new confidence, Jack was extremely pleased he had contacted Ashley and Martin for help.

Case Study: Health and Density of Hair Improves Quickly for Client in Early Stages of Hair Loss

May 27th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Growing up, Mark’s* light brown hair had always been full and wavy. Now in his mid-twenties, this was no longer the case. While still wavy, Mark’s hair was showing early signs of his follicles entering prolonged dormancy. He was worried that if he did not do something quickly, he would end up bald like his father. After all, it had only taken twelve months of accelerated shedding to leave him with areas of his scalp showing through sparse patches of hair.

A quick Google search for an effective hair loss treatment turned up Ashley and Martin’s website. From there it was simply a matter of submitting the online contact form and waiting for a call back from his preferred clinic. Open until 7pm, it was easy for Mark to find an appointment time that suited his work and social commitments.

The consultant he met with conducted a scalp examination which, along with taking his lifestyle and medical history into account, confirmed that Mark’s hair loss was genetic. The consultant informed Mark that his swift action in regards to seeking treatment put him in a good place to regrow hair from his dormant follicles. She took him through the multi-faceted RealGROWTH® program and explained how each element would combat a specific element of his hair loss.

Having already been thinking about treatment for the last few months, it was an easy decision for Mark to sign up for treatment then and there.

Mark was impressed with the results he was seeing. His hair was once again the thick, wavy mop it had been a year and a half ago. Not only had the density of his hair increased, but the health of his hair had improved also. Having gotten everything he had hoped for from the program that had been easy to incorporate into his routine, Mark would recommend medical hair regrowth with Ashley and Martin to anyone who needed it.

Case Study: Quick, Nightly Routine Regrows Hair and Brings Newfound Confidence

May 6th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Tom’s* father had started losing his hair when he was a younger man. Now Tom, in his mid-forties, was going through the same process. It had only been two years since he had first started to notice the effects of his genetically inherited hair loss, but the effects had decimated his once lush, black, wavy mop. Hair grey, patchy and sparse throughout, Tom reached out to Ashley and Martin after turning to Google to find the solution to his problem.

After a scalp examination and conversation about his health confirmed the source of Tom’s hair loss, the consultant explained how the anti-androgenic component of Ashley and Martin’s medical hair regrowth program would intervene in the process wherein DHT caused his hair follicles to miniaturise and enter dormancy. Further intervention strategies would be employed alongside the anti-androgenic medication prescribed to him by the clinic doctor including a prescription topical solution, herbal supplement, low level laser therapy and specialised scalp hygiene products.

Listening to all of this information, Tom was sure the RealGROWTH® program recommended to him had to work better than the over the counter remedy he had tried to regrow hair with. It had been a year since he had first started giving serious thought to treating his hair and with the solution to hair loss in front of him, he signed up immediately.

Following the instructions his consultant and the clinic doctor gave him was a simple process that took hardly any time out of his nightly routine. And finding time to visit the clinic for regular laser therapy appointments was easy with the clinic opening hours.

His consultant had been honest with him about what treatment could achieve with hair loss that had advanced to the stage he was at so Tom was not expecting miracles to happen overnight. But that was not to say he did not expect anything at all. He just knew he had to be patient.

After twelve months of regular treatment and review appointments to track Tom’s progress on his program, Tom sat across from his consultant brimming with newfound confidence as she showed him photos taken at his first appointment compared to the ones taken that day. His hair looked vastly different to when he had first met her and Tom only wished he had come to Ashley and Martin sooner.

Case Study: Teenage Client No Longer Self Conscious Thanks to Ashley and Martin

March 11th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Nineteen year old Hunter* had started to notice the effects of his hair loss almost three years ago. Not wanting to start going bald while he was still on his Learner’s licence, he had tried using topical treatments found at the chemist. Unfortunately for Hunter, this had not stopped his hair falling out at an accelerated rate and his crown became increasingly visible. Concerned that he would have a sizable bald patch before he got to celebrate his 21st birthday, Hunter researched his options online. Booking his appointment using the online contact form on the Ashley and Martin website, Hunter met with a consultant to discuss what could be done to stop his hair loss.

The consultant conducted a scalp examination and noted not only the diffuse nature of the hair on Hunter’s crown but an overall thinning in his hair. Stress and a genetic history had interrupted the natural growth cycle of Hunter’s hair, causing his follicles to miniaturise and become dormant. To reverse Hunter’s Norwood II loss, it was imperative that he start treatment to prompt his follicles into their growth phase before they died completely. Without treatment, more would follow. Anxious about the way his hair would continue to change the way he looked, Hunter signed up for treatment straight away.

From that moment, he never looked back. Hunter attended regular laser therapy appointments at the clinic and followed his treatment plan as his consultant and the clinic hair loss doctor advised. As his hair returned to a healthy rate of shedding and increased in density, Hunter found his confidence increasing. He was not longer sensitive about the way he looked and he felt better within himself. Impressed with the results his program had produced so far, Hunter told his consultant he would refer any of his friends who found themselves in the same position.

Case Study: Client Feels Ten Years Younger and More Confident After Treatment

February 24th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Genetics and stress were playing a detrimental part in the growth cycle of Ryan’s* hair. His mother had experienced hair loss as well and taken advantage of Ashley and Martin’s free consultation. Although she had chosen not to go ahead with treatment at the time, she had been impressed by the program. When her son found that pharmacy remedies and medication prescribed by his GP did not work to halt his hair loss, she recommended he too talk to Ashley and Martin.

By the time Ryan attended his initial consultation he had been considering treatment for over five years. He was extremely concerned about the damaging effect his thinning hair was having on his appearance, he felt it made him look much older than he was.

The consultant performed a scalp examination and found the onset of Ryan’s Norwood V hair loss had been between seven and eight years ago. The two men discussed the stress he was under and his family history of hair loss as well as his medical history. Confident the RealGROWTH® medical hair loss treatment would be the right course of action for Ryan, the consultant explained all aspects of the program and answered all of Ryan’s questions. Anxious to start a treatment that was actually going to work, Ryan decided to get started with his program straight away.

Every day Ryan performed his treatment routine at home, taking his medication and applying his RealGROWTH® solution. Although the consultant had recommended he come in to the clinic for low level laser therapy to enhance the results he would get from his medication, it was something Ryan was unable to commit to.

Despite his inability to fully participate in his treatment program, Ryan was extremely impressed with the results that he was seeing. With a thicker, healthier hair covering he felt ten years younger and so much more confident.

Case Study: Client Unable to Face Going Bald; Is Overwhelmed by Results

January 16th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Trey* sat across from his consultant not knowing what to say. Looking at the photos the consultant had taken today alongside the ones taken in his first appointment, he felt emotionally overwhelmed. Before coming to Ashley and Martin he had been extremely concerned about the ever-widening balding patch on his crown and the loss of overall density in his hair. But he was thoroughly impressed with the difference in the pictures he was looking at now.

He had tried pharmacy products and consulted his GP, but nothing he had tried in the five years he had been wanting to treat his hair had stopped it getting worse. Even the medication prescribed by his GP had not worked. Booking an appointment with Ashley and Martin had been his turning point. Hair ravaged by eight years of genetics and stress, his consultant explained why the treatments he had tried had not worked and offered him a proven solution.

Unable to face going bald, Trey had commenced his daily routine of oral and topical prescription medication, herbal supplements and specialised hair products straight away. He had been advised to attend the clinic regularly for low level laser therapy appointments, however that had been the one part of the RealGROWTH® program that Trey had struggled with.

Looking at his progress photos, Trey was thrilled to see so much new growth. The overall density of his hair had increased and the balding patch on his crown had shrunk substantially. The treatment had taken a decade off his appearance and he felt there was light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in a long time.

Case Study: Successful Hair Regrowth with Ashley and Martin

June 25th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

It felt great to be hearing how dark, thick and healthy his hair was looking instead of the usual ribbing Elliot received about going bald. And while his self esteem hadn’t been impacted by his mates teasing him about losing his hair so early, 20 year old Elliot had certainly been worried about the way he looked.

Sitting in the same chair he had sat six months earlier, the current photos Elliott and his consultant were looking at were a striking contrast to the ones taken in his first appointment. The original photos showed his scalp clearly visible across the entirety of his head and a deep recession in his temporal region. This Norwood III recession had taken only eighteen months to develop and Elliot had been concerned that it was likely to lead to advanced male pattern hair loss just like all the other men in his family before him.

The RealGROWTH® program his consultant had recommended to prevent further loss and thicken his hair back up had taken at least a little of his stress away. For the eighteen months before coming to Ashley and Martin, fit and active Elliot had been stressing from pressures at his new job and the move away from his family. He had also undergone two minor surgeries. There was a very real possibility that these stressors in his career and personal life had exacerbated the existing genetic condition. During this time he had felt his hair was becoming weaker, his scalp becoming more visible when wet and had noticed a consistent increase in hair fall.

Looking at the vast difference between these photos, he couldn’t believe he had regrown his hair in the same amount of time that it took to make the decision to book an appointment at Ashley and Martin. Commencing treatment the moment the solution had been offered to him had changed one thing he was not satisfied with in his life.

Early Intervention Leads to Great Results for Ashley and Martin Client

June 13th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Twelve months ago Laith began to see the changes in his hair that had been gradually happening over time. Hair loss had crept up on him and by the time he noticed it himself, the loss was clearly visible. Over the next six months, Laith saw his hair continue to shed and thin as he mulled over the idea of seeking treatment. Finally prompted by an Ashley and Martin advert on the television, the lack of results from the topical treatment he had purchased from the chemist and his own concerns about his appearance, he submitted an enquiry online.

With the aim to prevent further loss and thicken up his existing hair, Laith spoke with an Ashley and Martin consultant, disclosing his family history of hair loss and the traumatic events he had recently undergone at home. With significant stress present and the genetic link to baldness passed on to him by his father and paternal uncle, Laith was diagnosed with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood level III vertex. This common form of hair loss was treatable and the consultant expected Laith would receive good results using a combination of prescription medication, herbal supplements, cleansing products and laser therapy.

It was not long before the results of Laith’s at-home treatment routine were being noticed by other people. Friends he had not seen for quite some time commented on how good he was looking, as did his wife and mother. The 35-year-old was extremely happy with his decision to embark on a RealGROWTH® medical hair treatment program. The simple at home routine was made even easier with the purchase of a portable laser therapy device meaning he was able to perform all aspects of his treatment program without leaving his growing family for a minute longer than he needed to.
