It was now or never for Ray.* At 41 years of age, he had been suffering hair loss for a number of years and had previously tried over the counter medications with very limited results. Ray had watched the Ashley and Martin ads on TV for a number of years and, although he had considered treatment, he was fairly sceptical about achieving any real results. But now, in his early forties and ‘the face’ of his own small business, he finally made the decision to contact a hair loss specialist.

At his free consultation, Ray disclosed that, as the front man of his business he wanted to look his best. Although he was in good health he was growing more concerned about his appearance and felt that his hair fall aged him beyond his years. He also disclosed that there was history of baldness in the family. After a thorough scalp examination and a few more questions, Ray’s consultant diagnosed him with male pattern baldness, level IV. He had lost a lot of hair on his vertex and his scalp showed through quite badly. The consultant advised that the earlier treatment is taken, the better the results. Ray knew he had to act now, before it was too late.

His consultant recommended the clinically proven Ashley and Martin 12 month RealGROWTH^® program with low level laser therapy, however  Ray was concerned about the costs and was still a little sceptical about the treatment when he left the clinic to consider his options.

Five week later he returned to sign up but opted to leave  Laser therapy out of his plan. Just sixteen weeks later, at his first progress review, he was very happy with the progress photos which showed early improvement and that hair had started to regrow in the most affected areas. His partner had been watching the weekly progressions on his vertex and had commented on the vast improvement in such a short period of time.

Ray was glad that he had overcome his scepticism and returned to the clinic, his results were speaking for themselves and his confidence was taking a much needed boost.

At Ashley and Martin, people who seek hair loss treatment earlier, rather than later, receive the best possible results. If hair loss is impacting your quality of life, their website encourages you to contact them for a free consultation to discuss how they can tailor a personalised hair loss solution to address your hair loss concerns.

Dales* quality of life was being impacted; he was only 20 years old and was already growing concerned about his appearance due to his thinning crown. It was genetic. He knew that because there was history of hair loss on both sides of his family. His own shedding had started nearly three years ago and the ongoing hair loss was leaving his crown more and more exposed as the strands of hair became thinner and thinner.

It was another family member who urged Dale to get help at an Ashley and Martin medical hair loss clinic. At his consultation, Dale learned that he wasn’t alone – in fact, 1 in 5 men in their 20s experience significant balding. His consultant also talked to him about Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) and explained that a hormone known as Dihydrotesterone (DHT), which all men carry, affects the cells inside the base of the hair root and causes the hair loss. You need to have a genetic pre-disposition to MPB for this hormone to negatively affect the hair root cells and Dale, indeed, did have a genetic pre-disposition.

The good news was that Dale had sought early intervention and signed up to the recommended 12 month RealGROWTH^® treatment program on the very same day.

At his first four month review he could already see the difference in his before and after photos. His  hair was dense and healthy and had covered his crown over almost completely. He had also noticed a difference in the feel  and look of his hair…before it had been greasy and sparse – now it was soft and full. 16 weeks into his 12 month program Dale was in a good place and felt confident that his early intervention would set him in good stead for a full head of healthy hair.
