Case Study: Client Happily Surprised By Gradual Hair Regrowth

September 16th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

When Darius* started looking for a reputable hair loss company, he scoured the internet for information. Reading copious numbers of reviews from other people who had undergone treatment with Ashley and Martin and researching medical hair loss treatment, Darius came to the conclusion that Ashley and Martin were a trustworthy company. Wanting to look back on photos of himself with his children and have hair in those precious memories, the young father contacted Ashley and Martin online to book a free appointment.

With this wife along for support, Darius met with a consultant to discuss if he was suitable for medical hair loss treatment and the likely results he might obtain. Learning Darius was active and in good health, a scalp examination confirmed he was suffering from the same genetic hair loss as his Father and Uncles. Expanding on the knowledge Darius had already gained in his research, the consultant explained which products would be used in treating his Norwood III vertex loss and what each one of them would do.

In addition to the pharmaceutical and herbal elements of the program, Darius opted to do this laser therapy at home instead of coming into the clinic. A Laser Plus Pro home treatment device was added to his treatment program and Darius was booked in to see the clinic hair loss doctor immediately.

It was five months before Darius returned to the clinic after enrolling on his RealGROWTH® program. And he was unsure if his program had helped him regrow hair at this point. It had taken a year and a half of damage from male pattern baldness to leave him with the deep recession and sparse hair that had been concerning him. But he had only been doing treatment for five months.

As soon as his consultant put up photos of his hair taken that day and compared them to ones taken in Darius’s initial appointment, he was happily surprised. The new growth had happened so subtly that he had not realised how much thicker his hair had become.

Case Study: Staff Thrilled to See Confidence Grow In Young Client.

August 14th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Young and low on confidence, Clint* brought his father along to his first Ashley and Martin appointment. His self-esteem had hit rock bottom and the 24-year-old did not even have the faith in himself to speak to someone about his hair loss alone. Clint needed help and he needed it now.

Hair ravaged by two years of androgenic alopecia, Clint and his father were unsure if Clint was the first of his family to suffer with the condition better known as male pattern baldness. They could not recall this happening to anyone else. Sadly for Clint, he was alone in the fact that in just two short years he had gone from having a full head of hair to the Norwood IV loss his consultant was looking at. The consultant knew that if Clint did not act quickly, he would need to resign himself to the fact it would be too late to regrow hair for him.

With hope and his father’s support, Clint signed up and started his medical hair loss treatment that day.

At first, Clint and his family had felt comfortable choosing Ashley and Martin as it was both a medical centre and a trusted name in hair loss treatment. But once both he and his father had experienced the service and treatment process firsthand, Clint tentatively started to attend his appointments alone. Seeing his hair slowly growing back was building Clint’s confidence and as his self-assurance grew Clint began to come out of his shell. The clinic staff were thrilled at seeing the new, more outgoing Clint walk through their doors.

Clint knew it would take time to reverse the damage his aggressive alopecia had done. But he felt thrilled that he had already gotten the excess shedding under control and many of his dormant hair follicles had re-entered their growth phase.

With new growth still to come as he continued his treatment, the sporty young man would soon feel as confident off the field as on.

Case Study: Keeping It In the Family. Client Receives Same Dramatic Results As Another Family Member

July 17th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

When Kyle* decided to contact Ashley and Martin to help him with his hair loss, it was not a gamble for him. He had seen first hand the results the medical hair loss treatment could make for people and was expecting the treatment to work as well for him too. On the recommendation of a family member, Kyle sought help from the people who had intervened in their own hair loss.

Kyle’s first appointment with his hair loss consultant took place two years after his hair had first started shedding faster than normal. His brother and cousins on both sides of his family were also going through hair loss, but unlike most of them Kyle had been wanting to do something about his hair for the last three months. Losing his hair before he had even reached thirty was too much for Kyle and his confidence had taken a hit.

Within a week of sending in the online contact form on the Ashley and Martin website, Kyle was sitting across from his hair loss consultant. The two men discussed Kyle’s family history of hair loss, his relevant medical background and any factors causing undue stress in his life. Fit, healthy and stress free, a diagnosis of male pattern hair loss, Norwood IV was confirmed by a scalp examination.

After signing up for his own RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program, Kyle was provided with everything he needed for his program and his medication was prescribed by the clinic’s hair loss doctor.

Although unable to come into the clinic for regular laser therapy treatments for his scalp, Kyle noted that after the first few weeks of in-home treatment the routine became effortless. And by the end of his treatment program Kyle’s only regret was one the consultant heard on a regular basis. With such a dramatic difference in the density and quality of his hair, Kyle only wished that he had not come to Ashley and Martin sooner.

Case Study: Time Poor Client Finds Hair Regrowth Solution That Fits His Busy Schedule

June 17th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Hair loss was a curse that had struck the men in Adam’s* family for generations. His father and grandfather had both lost their hair and Adam’s own Norwood III vertex hair loss had followed a similar path.

As a highly sought-after professional running his own practice, Adam did not have a lot of time to commit to himself. First and foremost were his clients. Unfortunately, the strain of treating and managing such a high volume of clients did not leave him much of a window to sort his hair loss out.

He had tried over the counter solutions, but being time poor he was not willing to waste any more of his limited time on solutions without medical evidence to back them up. After contacting Ashley and Martin online, the fit 51-year-old met with a consultant who took him through the whole process of treatment.

For Adam, the biggest motivator in choosing to move forward with Ashley and Martin was the fact his treatment could be done completely at home and he would not have to add yet another commitment to his already overloaded schedule. He enrolled on a RealGROWTH® program that included all the oral and topical medications and supplements he would need and a Laser Pro Plus low level laser therapy (LLLT) device for home use.

Although diligent with his RealGROWTH® and LaserPro Plus routines, Adam was not completely sure how much his hair had changed until he attended an Ashley and Martin Review to assess the efficacy of his program. The difference in the before and after photos his consultant had taken was of genuine surprise to Adam. Having always taken pride in his appearance, Adam was thrilled with change in his appearance. Adam’s thicker, darker and denser hair was proof to him that medical hair regrowth was possible with barely any time taken out of the day.

Case Study: Happy Clients Coming Out of Ashley and Martin Are Best Advertising

May 27th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Three years after he had first started to lose his hair, Bruce* walked through the doors to the Ashley and Martin clinic in his home city. He had not called ahead to make an appointment; he was just hopeful that someone would have the time to talk to him about the ever-growing bald patch on his crown. The state of his hair was a constant source of frustration to Bruce who took care of his appearance and trained at the gym daily. His self-esteem was taking a battering.

His father, bald himself, was often in and out of the Ashley and Martin offices on unrelated business. For years he had seen the happy faces of clients walking out the door at the clinic and felt confident in suggesting his son turn to Ashley and Martin for help.

Thankfully for Bruce, a consultant was able to meet with him in short order. Bruce spoke with the consultant about his health, stress levels and family history of hair loss. As not only his father but his grandfather were bald, it came as no surprise to Bruce to receive a diagnosis of male pattern hair loss. Though his hair loss was rather advanced, the consultant was confident positive changes could be achieved using medical hair loss treatment which would result in more hair, and more self-esteem.

Looking at the photos taken of his hair during his first appointment compared to the ones taken that day, Bruce was shocked to see just how thin his hair had gotten before starting his program. The contrast between the photos taken just eight months apart astounded the 29-year-old bodybuilder. Suggesting his son come to Ashley and Martin, Bruce’s father had felt he would be in good hands; he could not have been more right. The changes that Bruce’s advanced Norwood IV loss had undergone during his RealGROWTH® treatment had bolstered his self-esteem. He had no regrets in having just walked into the clinic and signed up there and then.

Case Study: Client Taken Aback With How Much Hair He Regains For His Wedding

May 6th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Ken* was getting married in six months and wanted to look his best for his big day. On top of planning an overseas wedding, Ken was under a great deal of stress from his work in a busy kitchen. From the advertising both on TV and online, Ken knew the name Ashley and Martin when it came time for him to find a hair loss treatment. The 29-year-old had been considering treatment for six months and knew that if he was going to do something, it would be under the care of a hair loss doctor.

Having booked a free consultation online, Ken sat down with a consultant to discuss his situation and find out if it was too late for him to regrow hair again. The aggressive male pattern hair loss Ken was suffering from had ravaged his hair in just three short years. He informed his consultant that he was not the only one in his family to have lost their hair, but for now, he would prefer to keep his. It was not that it had any affect on his sense of self, but he was concerned about his appearance and felt it was not the right time for him to choose baldness.

Fit and healthy, Ken was a good candidate for medical hair regrowth treatment. The consultant explained how, with the clinic hair loss doctor, Ken would be placed on a RealGROWTH® program to treat his Norwood stage III Vertex loss. Confident in the information he had been given and the success rate of the treatment, Ken signed up and was booked in for his first appointment with the clinic doctor.

Five months later at an Ashley and Martin Review appointment, Ken was excited and taken aback. He had been confident in the treatment program, but he had never imagined it working so well or so quickly. He had come to Ashley and Martin because it was a medically sound treatment and was looking at the proof that medical hair loss treatment was the best hair loss treatment available to him.

Self-conscious Client Experiences Transformation With Hair Loss Stress Gone

March 6th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Nineteen and losing hair fast, Hamish* was constantly conscious that he was the only one his age suffering from this hereditary hair loss disorder. Having begun to lose his hair around his eighteenth birthday, Hamish’s hair was diffuse all over and it had shaken his confidence. With his thinning hair always on his mind, the Ashley and Martin advertising he saw online and on television struck a chord with him. Wanting to know more, he began to research Ashley and Martin; prompted by the fact the treatment was provided by a medical hair loss clinic, Hamish submitted an enquiry online.

Young and self-conscious, Hamish attended his first appointment with his mother along for support. Together they spoke with the consultant about the family’s history of hair loss and discussed the options available to Hamish to combat this problem. In order to intervene in the genetic disorder causing Hamish’s diffuse thinning, the consultant recommended a treatment program comprised of several therapies. Supported by regular low-level laser treatments at the clinic, Hamish’s RealGROWTH® topical solution would encourage new growth while the oral medications worked to inhibit the process causing his hair loss to begin with.

Hamish and his mother went home to digest the information they had learned at his Ashley and Martin appointment. After serious consideration Hamish returned, ready to take the first steps towards regrowing his hair.

Six months after he had initially met his client, Hamish’s consultant could not believe the difference in the young man. With regular treatment at home and in the clinic, Hamish had gone from meek to self-assured. His mousy brown hair had regained not only density, but life. It was an excited young man who viewed his progress photos. The overwhelming difference between the pictures taken at the appointment he had attended with his mother, compared to the ones that day was obvious even without photographic evidence. Aside from treatment times, Hamish did not even think about his hair loss any more.

Case Study: Self Esteem Restored Along With Hair

February 12th, 2019 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

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.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH has Client Looking and Feeling Like Younger Self

December 5th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

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.

Patient Sees Great Hair Loss Treatment Results in 5 Months

August 29th, 2018 by Rob Donkersloot

At 53 years old, Matthew was worried that people would think he was closer to 60 than 50 with the greying, patchy hair he was sporting.  It was hard to believe that just a year ago he had not been showing any signs of hair loss at all. Matthew had a physically taxing job, kept fit and looked after his body.  He was not at all comfortable with the thought of going bald. Matthew knew the name Ashley and Martin from our advertising and after three months of thinking it over, went online to request a call from his local clinic.

To his knowledge he was the first in his family to develop the genetic condition, androgenic alopecia; better known as male pattern hair loss.  His Norwood IV level loss, a result of the testosterone in his body converting to dihydrotestosterone and adhering to the hair follicles, was able to be treated by Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program.  His consultant took the time to explain to Matthew how a combination of prescription oral and topical medication, herbal supplements and specialised scalp hygiene products together with complementary low-level laser therapy would halt the formation of dihydrotestosterone, cleanse the scalp and promote the growth of new hair in dormant and miniaturised follicles.

Armed with all the knowledge that he needed to make an informed decision, Matthew enrolled on a RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program immediately.

Whilst Matthew was extremely busy with work and was not able to keep regular laser therapy appointments, the quick and simple at-home treatment routine fit into his schedule easily.

It was five months before Matthew completed his first progress update with his consultant.   And by this stage Matthew was thrilled with the results he was seeing. The silver in his hair looked more distinguished than aged now that his hair had become more dense and healthier.  His scalp was no longer visible from a distance and he finally felt that the care he put into his hair now matched the care he put into his body.
