Working in a professional industry, Alex* was always mindful of making sensible financial decisions.  When it came to choosing a specialist company to treat his hair loss, it was no different.  He booked an appointment with Ashley and Martin using the online enquiry system intending to shop around with other companies before committing to a treatment option.

At his initial consultation 31 year old Alex told his consultant he had been losing his hair for almost six years.  He had wanted to do something about it all this time but recently he had realised that unless he sought professional treatment immediately, it would be too late.  It wasn’t that Alex had never tried to fix his hair loss, he had used over the counter products in the past.  Unfortunately he had achieved minimal results with these.  No amount of self-prescribed treatment had stopped his hair from falling out.  He felt continuing to unsuccessfully treat his condition himself was a waste of money and time.

During his free consultation at Ashley and Martin Alex told his consultant he was concerned about the way his hair loss had changed his appearance.  It was adding to his already high stress levels.  After discussing the reasons behind hair loss, the consultant conducted a scalp examination.  Alex was visibly thinning overall with the predominant loss taking place from his crown to the frontal hair line.

A treatment plan was presented to Alex to arrest his shedding hair and prompt his remaining viable hair follicles to restart their growth phase.  While some of follicles had died in the temporal region as he had waited too long seek treatment, he would be able to regrow much of the hair in his crown and improve the density of the existing hair all over.  Impressed with the level of knowledge of his consultant and the ongoing support he would receive throughout his treatment, Alex decided not to continue shopping around as planned.  He signed up for a RealGROWTH^® program and started his treatment immediately.

With a combination of regular Low Level Laser Therapy treatments, anti-androgens, dietary supplements and a topical solution compounded by Ashley and Martin, Alex began to see his hair regrow exactly as he had been told he would expect to see.  The dormant hair follicles re-entered their growth phase, his fine hair began to thicken in time and more hair grew from each follicle to increase Alex’s hair density.  Even before all this happened, the rapid shedding slowed to a natural rate.  Alex could not have been happier with the early results of his RealGROWTH^® program.

Ziya* had used a hair loss product he had been purchasing from the chemist for a year and a half.  After all this time he had not experienced any hair regrowth so, thinking it was not working at all, he stopped using it.  It was then that he realised that this product had been slowing the rate of hair fall to a more natural rate; his hair began to rapidly shed until his scalp was clearly visible from the frontal hair line back to his crown.  He was only 20 years old and this accelerated loss worried him greatly.  A family member saw how concerned Ziya was with his hair and noticed him begin to retreat inside himself a little.  They urged him to seek professional treatment for the genetic condition he shared with his father and maternal uncle.

Ziya had heard about Ashley and Martin on the television and, as he was often in the area, walked in to his local clinic to book the next available appointment.  His consultant made him feel comfortable the moment he sat down.  Within minutes they were talking about how his hair loss was making Ziya feel and the reasons he was looking for help.  Ziya told the consultant about the demands on his time juggling work and study; he managed his time well and did not feel he was under any undue stress.   Being so young he still lived at home and was surrounded by a supportive family.  Together they agreed that Ziya’s hair loss was a level III vertex on the Norwood scale.  The consultant went on to explain how a RealGROWTH^® program would achieve Ziya’s goals of slowing the shedding to a normal rate and regrowing his lost hair.  Ziya enrolled immediately.

Eighteen weeks after he had first walked in to Ashley and Martin, Ziya was overjoyed with the substantial amount regrowth that had begun to fill out his sparsely covered scalp.  This improved density had given him renewed confidence and while it was not perfect yet, Ziya felt it was a vast improvement from that first day four and a half months ago.

Abel* had been considering treatment for his hair loss almost as long as he had been losing it.  The gradual, all over thinning he was experiencing had started over five years ago.  As over the counter treatments weren’t working for him, Abel went online to find someone who could help.

Speaking to his consultant at his free consultation, the 37 year old confided that he was concerned about his appearance.  He knew people expected this to happen as they approached their 40’s, but he just wasn’t ready yet.  He also disclosed that he was under a great deal of stress and suffered from anxiety.  The consultant assessed his genetic hair loss at a level IV on the Norwood scale and went on to explain how stress could impact the growth cycle of his hair and ultimately speed up the rate at which his hair thinned.

A RealGROWTH^® program was offered to Abel to slow his hair loss to a natural rate and prompt his dormant hair follicles into their anagen growth phase.  Having asked all the questions about the program that he could think of, Abel made the decision to sign up straight away.  He did not want to risk losing so much hair that he would not be able to regrow his own.   Abel was booked in for his first Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) treatment before he left the clinic and continued his LLLT treatments regularly throughout his program whilst taking his medication consistently.

Four months after he started Abel was called to come in for a progress check-up.  New photos were taken to compare to the set that had been taken at his initial consultation.  Impressed with how much thicker his hair had become over the short span of just sixteen weeks, Abel asked the consultant to email copies of his progress photos to him.  He was excited to show his friends the changes he had undergone.  Especially the friends who had been sceptical to begin with.

An avid surfer, Craig was beginning to be reminded of his thinning hair more and more often.  Unable to go out in the sun without a hat for fear of burning, and feeling the sun and water on his crown as he surfed Craig knew it was time to call Ashley and Martin.

Upon meeting with Craig, his consultant learned that Craig’s stress levels had not increased recently and there were no medical issues impacting his hair.  There was, however, a strong presence of hair loss with the men in Craig’s family.  His grandfather on his maternal side as well as his father, paternal uncles and grandfather had all suffered from hair loss or gone bald.  The consultant’s diagnosis was Male Pattern Hair Loss and Craig was placed at a level III vertex on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale.

Several options for treatment were presented to Craig as he lived too far away from the clinic to attend regular appointments.  The first option was a medications program and the second combined the medications program with an in-home laser treatment device.  Craig was very happy that he was able to get the full benefit of the program even though he lived over an hour away from the clinic.  He felt he had found a clinic that would support him in the way he needed to access treatment and had a solid plan looking after him throughout his treatment.  With this confidence in what he was signing up for, Craig embarked upon a RealGROWTH^® medications program and purchased a Laser Cap to use at home.

Four months in to his treatment Craig told his consultant he felt his hair was healthier and thicker.  However, as he was unable to see the top of his own head, he hadn’t realised just how much hair had regrown in his crown.  His mates had commented about how much thicker and darker Craig’s hair was looking but it wasn’t until he saw his progress photos that he fully understood how successful his program had been in just sixteen weeks.

Seven months after first coming to Ashley and Martin, Kevin* sat in his consultant’s office happy and bemused about the journey it had taken him to get there.  Given the choice again he would not change his decision to go ahead with treatment, however when he had first come in for an appointment at his fiancé’s behest he had walked away without signing up.

Twenty seven year old Kevin was engaged to be married and seven months before the big day he gave in to his fiancé’s requests for him to speak to someone about his thinning hair.  A friend recommended he go to Ashley and Martin as he had heard good things about the company and Kevin called for an appointment.

Speaking to his consultant in that first appointment Kevin thought he was a Norwood I pattern of loss as he had only noticed his frontal hair line thinning.  However upon looking at the first photos that were taken he could see that he was also thinning at the crown.  This led to a diagnosis of Norwood level III vertex Male Pattern Hair Loss due to the pattern of his well-established, three year loss.

After his treatment options were presented to him, Kevin wanted to go home and discuss it with his partner.  Still unsure if this was something he wanted to do after talking it over, Kevin decided against treatment.

With his wedding just four months away, Kevin changed his mind about wanting to regrow his hair for the big day.  With his consultant’s words in mind, he knew he was able to achieve noticeable results in this time frame and called to begin treatment.

Now back in his consultants office for his four month check-up, Kevin was very happy with the results he had achieved in time for his wedding.  Not just for his wife’s sake, but his own.  It was not just his new wife that had noticed the difference the treatment had made to Kevin’s hair, friends and family were commenting that his hair was looking fuller and healthier and it felt good.  Now that he had made the decision to regrow his hair he could not imagine having it any other way.

Thirty year old Will* worked in a fast paced, high pressure environment.  The amount of stress in his professional life coupled with a genetic predisposition had led to the advanced hair loss he was experiencing through the crown of his head.  Insecure and feeling the hair loss was making him look older than his years, he called Ashley and Martin to find out if it was too late to regrow his hair.

After a diagnosis of Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood IIIa, the consultant explained to him the way the androgens in his body were affecting his hair growth cycle.  Will had never looked in to treatments to save his hair before and as the consultant spoke Will and his partner asked questions about the process and the medications.  The consultant answered every one of their questions and encouraged the couple to ask as many as they wanted.  Once Will understood everything he felt he needed to, he signed up for a RealGROWTH^® program and booked in the next day to see the clinic doctor to have his medication prescribed.

After four months on the program Will met with his consultant for a progress check-up.  Looking at his initial photos compared to his current ones, the difference was astounding.  His hair was thicker and darker; it was as if the past four years of hair loss had never happened.  Another four months on and Will met with his consultant again for another progress check-up.  The consultant, thrilled for Will that he had received the results he had been hoping for on the program, commented on how much better his hair was looking compared to when he had first come in.  Will beamed with joy when talking about his new hair growth.  He said he felt and looked ten years younger than he had a short eight months before.  Listening to the Ashley and Martin ad he had heard on the radio and making the call had been the best decision he had made in a long time.

For the second time in his life, Arav* found that he was losing his hair.  As a former professional body builder, Arav was conscious of his appearance.  Being the only person in his family to go bald was a great personal stress to him.  Four years previously he had travelled to India for a hair transplant; however without the correct maintenance of his existing hair it continued to thin along his frontal hair line and behind his newly constructed hair.

After researching his options online Arav and his wife attended appointments at two separate hair loss companies to discuss how they could be of help, the second of which was Ashley and Martin.  It was the fact that the Ashley and Martin consultant was very clear about what he was being offered, the company worked with GP’s to prescribe medication, and the clear and binding money back guarantee offered that prompted Arav to sign up immediately.  He was very excited to hear that the RealGROWTH^® program was designed to not only stop his hair from continuing to fall out, but to regrow his own hair so he would not need another transplant.  Arav’s wife was excited for him too.  She knew how much this meant to him and was very supportive of her husband seeking the treatment he needed to feel good about himself.

Arav came to the clinic regularly for Low Level Laser Therapy to support the medications program that he was participating in.   He was determined to give his program the best chance of succeeding that he could.  After the first 4 months of his program Arav was ecstatic about the early results he was seeing.  His hair was denser all over and his transplant was blending seamlessly with his newly growing hair.  For Arav, the decision to choose Ashley and Martin was one that has brought him peace of mind.

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.

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.

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.
