It had only occurred to Wesley* the day before that he wanted to try and fix the hair loss he had been experiencing for the last year. As soon as he had made the decision to find a hair loss treatment, he had gone online to find a hair specialist to help him. Having found Ashley and Martin’s website, Wesley contacted us via our online contact form to book an appointment. The very next day Wesley was sitting in his consultant’s office discussing his options.

The consultant had found that Wesley had presented with a deep recession in his temples and thinning hair throughout. Understandably, twenty year old Wesley was concerned about the change his hair loss was making to his appearance. A scalp examination, together with relevant information about Wesley’s medical history, genetic links to hair loss and lifestyle factors confirmed that Wesley was suffering from male pattern hair loss, Norwood IIIa.

A hair loss treatment plan involving anti-androgens and herbal agents to prevent the formation of the DHT in his body that was causing his hair loss, specially formulated scalp cleansing products to create a friendly environment for his newly growing hair and a topical solution to encourage, strong healthy hair growth was put together for Wesley. These targeted medications and therapies would be used in conjunction with low level laser therapy sessions. Wanting to address his hair loss as soon as possible, Wesley signed up for treatment.

Over the coming four months, Wesley’s hair began to increase in density. While this was happening all over, nowhere was it more evident than in his temporal region. The hair above Wesley’s ears had been sparse and the hair line in this hair moving backwards. The photos taken at his first Ashley and Martin Review showed a pleasing increase in the number of hair follicles that had entered into their active growth phase in this area.

It was great for Wesley to see the improvements that had happened so early and he looked forward to seeing what would happen after he had been using his hair loss treatment plan for another four months.

Fifty-two year old Bob* had wanted to find a solution to his hair loss for the last year. His hair had shed rapidly and in two and a half short years he was left with a sparse covering throughout. It had been a television advert that had pointed Bob in the direction of Ashley and Martin. After hearing he could come in for a no obligation, free consultation, Bob called to make an appointment.

Meeting with his consultant for the first time, he confided that he was concerned about the way his hair loss was making him look. He did not feel that he was ready at only 52 and to have lost most of his hair.

A scalp examination together with the information Bob had given his consultant led to a diagnosis of male pattern hair loss, Norwood IV. After giving Bob a realistic picture of what could be achieved at this advanced stage of hair loss and the timeframe he was looking at to see results, the consultant explained what would be involved in the treatment process.

Working together with the clinic hair loss doctor, Bob’s treatment would involve a range complementary of therapies to not only regrow hair from follicles that had entered an extended dormancy, but address the root cause of his hair loss.

Sure that this was the solution to hair thinning he had been looking for, Bob signed up for a RealGROWTH^® program.

Knowing that his advanced hair loss was not going to reverse itself overnight, Bob returned for his first Ashley and Martin review after four months of treatment. He was only a third of the way into his treatment plan and it was encouraging to see that his hair was beginning to increase in density even at this early stage. Happy with what he was seeing already, Bob left the consultant’s office feeling confident things would continue get better.

Four months after starting his RealGROWTH^® program, Matt’s* Norwood III vertex loss had made a dramatic turnaround. The 25 year old was thrilled with the difference just sixteen weeks had made.

Matt’s hair had begun to fall out at a higher rate than was natural four years ago. While it was not cause for alarm to begin with, the gradual hair fall mounted up; his hair becoming sparser as time went on. The idea of seeking treatment had played on his mind for a year before Matt took notice of advice he had found online. Using the contact form on our website, he contacted Ashley and Martin for help.

The scalp examination the consultant conducted confirmed what Matt had suspected. He had inherited his hair loss from his family. Genetics being one of the leading causes of hair loss in men, Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® program was designed to help men in his situation. With a combination of anti-androgens, a topical solution, herbal supplements and laser therapy his consultant was confident Matt would regrow hair, giving him a fuller, thicker head of hair.

Matt signed up for treatment straight away. He was concerned about the way his hair loss was making him look and wanted to do something about it as soon as possible. He booked an appointment with the clinic hair loss doctor and was given the non-prescription hair growth products included in his program to take home and start using immediately.

Looking back, commencing a hair loss treatment plan with Ashley and Martin was a decision that Matt did not regret one bit. He had found exactly what he was looking for. And now no one who looked at him could see that he suffered from male pattern baldness.

Blake* started to notice his hair thinning about two years before coming to Ashley and Martin. He had seen our advertising on television and, after a year of letting it play on his mind, he called his nearest Ashley and Martin hair loss clinic make an appointment. At 30 years old, he felt that his sizable balding patch made him look much older than he was.

At the free consultation he had heard about on the television, the consultant asked Blake questions aimed at finding the root causes of his hair loss. Fit, healthy and active with low stress levels, Blake’s only link to hair loss was a genetic one. His brothers and grandfather were all experiencing varying degrees of hair loss themselves. The consultant examined Blake’s hair and saw that he was suffering from a deep recession in the temporal region and a severe loss of density from the crown moving forward into the vertex.

In order to regrow hair where Blake had lost it, the best hair loss treatment to address his Norwood level IV loss would be a medical program consisting of anti-androgens, topical solution, herbal supplements and specialised hygiene products.

It took six months for Blake to make a considered decision about his hair loss treatment. He called and made an appointment to see Ashley and Martin’s hair loss doctor. The doctor looked at Blake’s scalp and to her it looked much more like he had been suffering from hair loss for up to seven years, not the two that Blake had originally thought.

As Blake used his hair growth products diligently each night, he noticed the hair fall he usually saw each morning slow down. With time, his hair fall returned to a normal, healthy rate. His partner noticed new hair beginning to grow and with this hair regrowth the overall density of his hair improved. At his first Ashley and Martin Review it was astonishing to see just how much hair he had regrown on his crown after sixteen weeks on the program.

Andrew’s* hair had been gradually becoming less dense for almost two years. While not immediately noticeable to other people, Andrew could see how much thinner his hair had become on his crown and temporal region. It had never occurred to him to treat his hair before now, but the moment he started to think about it Andrew went online to find a hair loss specialist to help him. A week after that first thought of treatment had crossed his mind, the 30 year old had researched the best hair loss treatment available and booked an appointment with Ashely and Martin.

The consultant he met with discussed all the possible contributing factors to Andrew’s hair loss with him. Andrew was in good health and did not have any major stressors impacting his life now or in the recent past. He did however have a history of hair loss on his father’s side of the family line. A scalp examination confirmed what Andrew had assumed to be true, his early stage III vertex male pattern hair loss was genetic.

Concerned about how this excessive hair fall would further impact his appearance in the future, Andrew engaged in an open conversation about the hair loss products that would be used to treat his genetic condition. All Andrew’s questions about the medications used and the proposed treatment plan were answered fully and Andrew signed up for treatment straight away.

It was at his four month Ashley and Martin Review that Andrew was truly able to see the early results of his RealGROWTH^® program. The small, daily changes he had experienced certainly showed when looking at his progress photos side by side. Andrew’s hair density had increased substantially. His hair was thicker, fuller, healthier and no longer in danger of disappearing completely.

Five years after his hair first began falling out, Pat* came to Ashley and Martin. He had been thinking about finding a hair loss specialist for almost two years, and after searching online for the best hair loss treatment available, he sent in an online enquiry via our website. He had tried over the counter remedies in the past, but to date nothing had stopped his hair from continuing to shed.

His consultant, having conducted a scalp examination, could see that Pat’s hair was sparse and receding from the frontal hair line back to the crown. Pat had told him of his family history of hair loss and the consultant had probed into his relevant medical history to make sure there was no underlying conditions that could be causing Pat’s hair to fall out. The 40 year old was diagnosed with early stage VI male pattern hair loss and presented with a hair growth treatment plan designed to stop the shedding and re-establish a healthy growth cycle.

Worried about his appearance and how he would look in the future should he continue to lose his hair, Pat enrolled on a RealGROWTH^® medical program. He was booked in to the see the clinic’s hair loss doctor who prescribed him a topical solution to be applied to his scalp and medication to stop his body producing the androgen DHT. He had also been given herbal hair growth products and specialised shampoos and conditioners to assist the prescription components of his program to reverse his hair loss.

Pat was very pleased with his progress to date when he attended his four month Ashley and Martin Review. He could see his hair density improving greatly and it put his mind at rest when thinking about the future of his hair. With his RealGROWTH^® medication he was in charge of if and when he chose to lose his hair.

Craig* was unsure if he was ready to lose his hair.  He had discussed it with a friend of his who was a client of Ashley and Martin, but he was still conflicted.  Too young to be bald, but unsure if he really wanted to go ahead, Craig decided to take his friend’s advice and call Ashley and Martin to make an appointment.  The appointment was free and he had nothing to lose by simply talking about it.  Craig had already tried using a remedy he had bought at the chemist without results before making the call.  That, to him, had been a bigger waste of time and money.

Examining his scalp, the consultant could see that the hair loss Craig was experiencing had been going on longer than the three years he and his family had been noticing it for.  At only 26 years old, Craig’s hair loss was extremely advanced for his age.  The substantial hair loss from his frontal hair line back to his crown was placed at a level IV on the Norwood Hair Loss scale and his consultant recommended he approach treatment with the comprehensive RealGROWTH^® program.  Although he had been given the opportunity to ask all the questions he had around treatment, Craig was still hesitant.  He left the clinic without signing up for a RealGROWTH^® program.

It was five months before Craig set foot in the clinic again.  His hair loss continued to worsen and he had reached the stage of ‘now or never’.  With his medication prescribed by the doctor, Craig was able to start treatment the very next morning.

His work was a barrier to attending to the clinic for laser therapy treatments, but by the time Craig returned for his first Ashley and Martin Review four months later, he had experienced astounding results. Both he and his family were thrilled with the marked difference in his hair.  Craig could not believe that he had managed to regrow his lost hair in less time than it had taken him decide to go ahead with treatment.

Jack’s* self-esteem had taken a blow in his early teenage years.  Suffering from chronic acne, he had always felt self-conscious.  So self-conscious that he had turned to using a drug that had known long term side effects.  Jack was now suffering from thinning hair and his confidence was once again taking a hit.  Having heard of Ashley and Martin on television he thought it would be a good idea to speak to someone about what could be done to help him.

Having used the online enquiry system on the Ashley and Martin website to book an appointment, Jack came to meet with his consultant for the first time.  She noted a generalised thinning from the hairline to the crown during a scalp examination.  Her assessment of Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood III was backed up by his family history of the condition.  Jack’s use of a medication with severe side effects had impacted this genetic loss, prompting the process to become more rapid.

The consultant explained the process of hair loss to the 27 year old and how the RealGROWTH^® medical program would intervene to stop the excessive shedding and regrow his hair.  Not one to make rash decisions, Jack took a further three months to think the prospect of treatment over.  It had taken him two years of consideration to get this far, he was in no rush to make a final decision.

In the end he decided that there actually was a need to proceed quickly.  If three years could do this much damage to his hair, he would be bald on top by the time he was 30.  This was not something he was prepared to accept.  He made an appointment to see to the clinic doctor to have his medication prescribed.  Jack appreciated he had further to opportunity to ask questions to his consultant and doctor and left this feeling fully supported knowing he could come back as often as he wanted through his program to speak to his care providers.

Although he had the support base there for him, he found the program so easy to follow that he only needed to come to the clinic for regular Low Level Laser Therapy treatments.  Within four months of treatment he was amazed at the difference to his hair’s density the program had made.  His frontal hair line was thick and full and his crown, which had been in danger of balding in the near future, had regrown so much new hair that he no longer felt self-conscious about it.

Paul* was experiencing a slight thinning on his crown and frontal hair line. And although this year long loss was in its early stages, Paul wanted to control it before it went any further. He was concerned about how losing his hair would change the way he looked and was not willing to let that happen while he still had some control. Paul had heard what Ashley and Martin could do to help people in his position on the television and decided he had nothing to lose by calling to book a free consultation.

The 35 year old discussed his goals in coming to Ashley and Martin with the consultant and was relieved to find they were achievable with the treatment options available to him. Wanting to move his slight temporal recession forward to its natural position and improve the density across his crown, Paul was keen to try the RealGROWTH^® medical hair regrowth program that his consultant told him about.

Paul signed up for a medical hair regrowth program that consisted of oral and topical medications supported by herbal and specialised hygiene products. The clinic GP gave him a check-up before prescribing his medication and Paul was pleased to find that any visits to the clinic GP were all included in the price of his program.

Taking his medication faithfully every day Paul found that his hair stopped shedding faster than was natural and gradually began to regrow. After four months on the program there were visible changes and after eight months he could not tell that he had ever suffered from hair loss in the past. His genetically inherited early stage III vertex loss had responded well to the multi-faceted treatment program he had been given. His RealGROWTH^® program had thickened up his hair in the crown, brought his temporal recession back to its natural position and Paul’s hair was now healthier than it had ever been.

Guy* only had childhood memories of his maternal grandfather without hair.  Being so young he associated baldness with advanced ageing and viewed it as a natural part of getting old.  However when he started to lose his own hair at 25 years old, he gained new insight into hair loss.  Three years later he was far from being old but felt he looked much older than he was.  He spoke to friends about his hair loss, asking their opinions about different intervention options. A close friend advised him to call Ashley and Martin to discuss medical intervention for his thinning hair.

Shortly after speaking to his friend, Guy made the call to Ashley and Martin.  He was now 27 years old and very concerned about losing all his hair.  He spoke to his consultant about the outcomes he was looking for in a hair loss treatment.  He would expect that any treatment he undertook would stop him losing any more hair.  It would be a bonus if it could help him regrow his hair.  The consultant undertook a scalp examination to confirm the cause of Guy’s hair loss to be genetic and determine the likelihood of success with medical intervention.  After diagnosing Guy with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood IV the consultant spoke to him about the process of hair regrowth.  The follicles in Guy’s temporal region that had died were unfortunately unable to be regrown with any medication available  The only option for this would be transplantation.  Medication could, however, stop him from losing any more hair and thicken the diffuse hair that was most prominent from the frontal hair line to the crown.

Satisfied with the honesty he was given and the prospect of fulfilling the outcomes he wanted to achieve when he came to the appointment, Guy signed up for a RealGROWTH^® medications program.  Within four months the treatment plan had done everything Guy was hoping for.  The excessive shedding had stopped, his hair line was no longer receding and his existing hair had increased in density.  He was pleased to find that areas on his parietal ridge which he was not expecting to regrow had moved forward.
