Seventeen. Kurt* had been just seventeen when he had started to lose his hair. With his scalp clearly visible through his dark hair and a deep recession in his temples, Kurt had not even reached 20 by the time his hair loss was so noticeable that he needed to seek help.

For the past six months Kurt had been seeing stories online and on television from Ashley and Martin clients talking about how they regrew their hair. Unable to come to terms with going bald at nineteen years old, Kurt turned to the internet to find out more about how Ashley and Martin could help him.

The consultant he met with examined Kurt’s scalp after chatting about the factors that may be the cause of his hair loss. The overall thinning he was experiencing had not been inherited from family members and Kurt was in good health. He was however under a great deal of stress with his impending exams. The consultant could see how genuinely distressing this situation was to Kurt and reassured him that there was a solution. Explaining each component of the RealGROWTH^® program and how it would stop his hair from shedding excessively and promote healthy hair regrowth, the consultant put Kurt’s mind at rest. Young and not wanting to make impulsive decisions, Kurt went home to think things over.

A few days later, Kurt called the clinic to make an appointment with the clinic hair loss doctor to commence his treatment. He had originally chosen Ashley and Martin for his treatment because provided medical treatment, not just supplements and over the counter products he could have found at a chemist. It had been reassuring to find out that consultation with the clinic doctor as needed was included as a standard part of the RealGROWTH^® program. And although as he progressed on his program he did not attend the recommended laser therapy appointment as often as he should have, Kurt took his medication and applied his RealGROWTH^® solution as his consultant and doctor advised.

Coming to the end of his program, Kurt walked into his consultant’s office a changed young man. Brimming with confidence, he told his consultant that before they had met, his hair loss had made him feel like crying. Now, however, he was over the moon. Happy he had chosen to treat his hair, Kurt’s self-esteem had soared and he was no longer upset about the way he looked in the mirror. And the consultant was thrilled to see his client so happy.

Amanda had been battling a thyroid issue for the past six years.  Although she had been undergoing treatment the entire time, the effects of this hormone imbalance had left her hair thin and lifeless.  Following the birth of her last child, her hair quality had decreased even further.

Devoted to her family and career as a health care professional, Amanda’s time was taken up caring for her family and her patients at work.  Busy looking after everyone but herself, Amanda had not given time to addressing her hair loss when it had first arisen five years ago.  Emotionally unequipped to be able to continue dealing with her thinning hair and the disappointment of over the counter solutions that did not work, Amanda turned to a medical hair loss centre.  As a professional in health care, it was important to her that the medical treatment she used had evidence to back up its claims.  Ashley and Martin fit the bill.

After listening to her story and examining her diffuse hair, the Ashley and Martin consultant laid out the treatment options to Amanda and invited her to ask any questions she may have.  Amanda was thrilled to find that her treatment could be conducted entirely from the comfort of her own home, without the need to take up more of her limited time travelling to the clinic.  Her consultant would be available any time she needed him, however she would be in control of her treatment schedule.

Amanda found her daily treatment routine easy to fit into her active lifestyle as a working mother.  The beauty of adding the portable home laser device to her program was that she did not need to find time to attend the clinic or sit down in one place to be able to use it.  If history had shown her anything it was that she would end up prioritising someone else’s needs above her treatment if she had needed to do this.

By the time Amanda booked her first Ashley and Martin progress review, the thirty-three-year-old was astounded at how much hair had grown back.  Her hair was not only more dense, but the hair follicles themselves were thicker.  The shine and body had returned, and Amanda felt and looked like her younger self.

Marco was young, single and at a stage in his life where he was wanting to go out and meet people. Unfortunately, he had already been losing his hair for two years and his scalp was already visible through his thinning hair. This early onset of hair loss had rocked his confidence and he was extremely concerned he was going to go bald before he reached 30.

Marco knew the name Ashley and Martin from advertising he had seen and went online to find out more. After navigating through the Ashley and Martin website to learn as much as he could, he used the online contact form to request a call from the nearest clinic.

The consultant he met with discussed the causes of his hair loss with him and outlined the most effective method of regrowing hair. Marco’s uncle had a minor amount of hair loss with a widow’s peak, so the hair loss gene was active in Marco’s family. With no other impacting circumstances, Marco’s consultant diagnosed him with Androgenic Alopecia, better known as Male Pattern Hair Loss.

Having already thought about it for a year before coming to Ashley and Martin, the 26-year-old was ready to start treatment for his Norwood III vertex loss straight away. He booked an appointment with the clinic doctor and was provided with all the non-prescription items included in his program before leaving the clinic that day.

By the time his first progress photos were due to be taken, Marco was extremely happy with the early results of his program. He had already regained a great deal of his hair; revitalised follicles had led to new growth which had increased the density of his hair overall. And along with his hair, his confidence was beginning to return.

At a glance Ben* appeared to have an impressive head of hair however, upon closer inspection it was a different story. Ben’s crown was thinning and he had a deep hairline recession; at 21 he was wearing his hair longer to hide the loss. He had tried over the counter remedies available at the chemist but these did nothing to help his thinning hair. Ben started to search the internet for a solution, his mother had suffered with hair line recession and at such a young age he didn’t want the same insecurities that she had.

Ben informed his consultant during his free consultation his hair had been thinning over a two year period but more so over the last six months. A scalp examination was performed and Ben’s consultant confirmed the hair loss was genetic as Ben had suspected. Discussing how the RealGROWTH^® program worked Ben was reassured Ashley and Martin would be able to help him regain his lost hair.

Keen to make a start Ben was slotted in to see the clinic hair loss doctor to discuss his medical history and have prescriptions written. Ben then left the clinic armed with the medication issued by the doctor and the non-prescription hair loss products to last him the entirety of his program. The topical solution would follow a few days later to his home address once compounded by the pharmacy.

Four months later, reviewing comparison photos at his first check-up Ben was thrilled with his results. He could see his crown now had a more even density along and there has been density improvement at the hairline too. Ben was feeling positive about his future, he was feeling confident about his hair and his family had noticed the difference. He had made the right decision in coming to Ashley and Martin, putting a stop to his hair loss before it was too late.

Adrian was feeling extremely down about the way he looked. He was only twenty and he already looked so much older thanks to the hair loss he had inherited from his father. With seven uncles, his father and grandfather all suffering from baldness, it was no great shock when his own hair had started to fall out in his late teens.

Adrian worked in a career where he interacted with people every day and prided himself on his appearance. Rather than risk his hair by trying remedies that may or may not work, he came to Ashley and Martin because of the medical nature of the company and the evidence-based treatment.

In his initial consult, he discussed not only the strong genetic ties he has to hair loss but the chronic thyroid conditions he suffered from. His consultant was quick to reassure him that as Ashley and Martin employed medical practitioners to oversee every patient’s treatment, he would be well looked after.

All aspects of the treatment were discussed, including the very good chance Adrian had at regaining all of his lost hair back as he had acted so quickly. Knowing that his hair was important to his confidence levels, Adrian knew he had to act now or regret it. Keen to get started addressing the loss of density he was seeing, Adrian signed up straight away.

As his treatment progressed, Adrian’s confidence grew. The Norwood IIa loss he had inherited was halted in its tracks and before long new hair had begun to grow, filling out the part line that had begun to widen previously. Adrian was thrilled with the results of his treatment, it looked as if his hair loss had never happened.

Four months ago, 21-year-old Tom was so desperate to solve his hair loss problems that he was ready to engage the services of a hair transplant surgeon. Whilst living interstate he had tried addressing his male pattern hair loss with a non-medical hair loss company. He had, however, been left completely dissatisfied with both the results and the service he had received.

Still a very young man and frustrated with the impact his genetic disorder was having on his appearance, Tom spoke with an Ashley and Martin consultant only eight weeks after relocating. He confided that he had been losing his hair for almost three years, having started to notice the loss when he was only eighteen. He was anxious to stop the loss before it was too late.

Tom’s consultant understood his frustration and urgency. As a young man himself, his consultant had come to Ashley and Martin as a client. The RealGrowth^® had worked so well for him that ten years on he had no qualms recommending it as an Ashley and Martin consultant.

The consultant explained that the RealGrowth^® program was designed to stabilise and improve the density of Tom’s thinning crown. The process was explained in detail and Tom given the opportunity to ask any questions he had of his consultant. Before coming to Ashley and Martin for his initial appointment Tom had spoken with a hair transplant surgeon; he took the information he had been given by his consultant home to weigh up his options.

Just five days later Tom had made a decision. Before embarking on expensive surgery he would try the RealGrowth^® program to see what results could be gained from less invasive medical intervention.

Over the span of the next four months, the combination of oral, topical and laser treatments worked exactly the way his consultant had said it would. Tom began to see his hair return, filling out his crown and giving his hair a thicker appearance overall. For Tom, the decision to use Ashley and Martin had given him peace of mind as well as his hair back.

Scott*, 22 was only just at the start of his sales career, not a great time for him to be losing his hair. He needed to ooze confidence but the fact you could now see his scalp was bothering him. With his self-esteem affected it was time for Scott to seek help before it was too late.

At his initial Ashley and Martin appointment Scott told his consultant he had been losing his hair for the past two years. Recently the thinning had become quite significant and Scott was now concerned about the way his hair loss was changing his appearance.

Conducting a scalp examination the consultant could see the predominant loss of Scott’s hair had taken place on the frontal hair line and crown. With a strong presence of balding in the men of Scott’s family and no medical issues impacting the hair loss, a diagnosis of genetic male pattern baldness was given.

The best hair loss treatment for this condition was Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® medical treatment program. The consultant explained how the program worked, the products Scott would receive and the hair growth results he would likely achieve.  Scott was excited; he could take the prescription and dietary tablets and apply the topical solution at home. His professional life kept him pretty busy most days so he would not have been able to commence a treatment that required multiple trips to a clinic every week.

After four months on the program, Scott attended the Ashley and Martin clinic for a progress checkup.  Photos were taken of the hair from the same angles as the ones taken in his initial appointment and both sets compared. Scott’s hair had increased in density in his troubled areas and he was now sporting a new hairline. Scott couldn’t have been happier and was now transferring this confidence into his sales pitch.

As a teenager, Himmat’s* hair loss was exceptionally slow. The gradual thinning that had barely been noticeable in the first decade since its onset had suddenly increased. It was clearly obvious to Himmat’s wife that the rapid loss of density radiating out from his crown was bothering her husband and encouraged him to seek professional help from a hair loss specialist. With his wife behind him for support, 28 year old Himmat found and contacted Ashley and Martin online.

In the months leading up to his free consultation, Himmat had tried using natural treatments like almond oil and ginger. He had quickly come to realise that these remedies did not work and now, sitting in front of his consultant, he was able to find out how a medical hair regrowth program differed from his ineffective natural solutions.

Himmat’s consultant explained that Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® program consisted of a variety of complementary therapies. Like the remedies Himmat had already tried, one aspect of it was herbal. The difference was, the herbal supplement Ashley and Martin used was designed to stop the formation of dihydrotestosterone which was causing Himmat’s hair loss. To work in conjunction with the herbal supplements, the RealGROWTH^® program also used anti-androgen tablets, topical solution, scalp cleansing products and low level laser therapy.

The hair loss Himmat was suffering from had been handed down to him by his father. However, his father had not felt the effects of his own hair loss until he was in his mid-forties. Knowing he had his wife’s full support to address his hair loss, Himmat signed up for treatment.

In the coming months, both Himmat and his wife noticed the difference treatment was making to his hair despite his lack of laser therapy sessions. Himmat’s hair line was much stronger than it had been when he had first come to enquire about treatment and his overall density had vastly improved. With the help of his Ashley and Martin consultant and hair loss doctor, Himmat’s level II male pattern hair loss had made a dramatic turn around.

For the last four years, Madhup* had been watching his hair continually decrease. He was now left with a sparse covering from his frontal hair line to his crown. Not far out of his 20’s, Madhup felt that his advanced hair loss was making him look much older than his 32 years. After seeing an ad for Ashley and Martin on TV, Madhup called to book his free consultation.

After taking background information and conducting a scalp examination, the consultant diagnosed Madhup with Norwood IV androgenic alopecia. The consultant then explained how the complementary therapies included in the RealGROWTH^® program would work together to address not only the outward effects of his hair loss, but the process causing his hair to miniaturise and fall out. Both prescription and herbal tablets would be used to halt the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone; topical solution would stimulate keratin production and allow more nutrients to reach the hair bulb; and specialised scalp cleansers would create an environment conducive to new hair growth.

Happy that this comprehensive program would take address the problem as a whole, rather than trying to regrow hair while the genetic process causing the loss was still in effect, Madhup signed up for a RealGROWTH^® program.

Madhup and his wife were both over the moon with the changes that took place rapidly over the coming sixteen weeks. At first, there had been no visible regrowth, but Madhup noticed his hair fall decrease to a more natural rate. Following this, fine, new hairs began to appear, thickening up his existing hair and filling in the balding patches. And now, four months after beginning treatment, Madhup was looking at his progress photos at his first Ashley and Martin Review. It was astounding to see these photos side by side. Although it had been obvious to both Madhup and his wife that his hair was regrowing, these comparison photos really brought home just how far he had come in such a short time.
