Case Study: Patient Gets Back His Confidence with Ashley and Martin

June 25th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Rafan had been noticing his hair gradually becoming thinner over the span of the last three years. Not yet 30, he felt way too young for this to be happening. His thinning hair was starting to affect his confidence. Looking closely he could see the distance between healthy hair follicles increasing, his scalp clearly visible through his hair. This loss of density was so concerning Rafan decided to look into treatment options.

Turning, as so many people did, to Google to find the solution to his problems, Rafan came across the Ashley and Martin website. Populated with success stories and evidence based medical research, the Ashley and Martin website provided him with all the information he needed about his hair loss and the availability of a treatment that could help. He had seen the Ashley and Martin adverts on TV and this strong media presence gave him the confidence to book a consultation.

Rafan had no medical issues to disclose to his consultant when they sat down together, but he did have a strong genetic family history of hair loss. His consultant felt there was one clear path forward that would intervene in the genetic process causing his hair to thin. The consultant explained to Rafan how the RealGROWTH® treatment would stop the accelerated rate of shedding Rafan was experiencing and regrow his hair by disrupting the formation of the dihydro-testosterone causing the problem and reactivating the dormant roots. Surprised at how easy it all looked, Rafan signed up immediately.

While not overly regular with his clinic visits, Rafan was very diligent with his at home treatment program. This diligence paid off when he came in for his progress check-up after six months. Rafan had already noticed big changes and had been so impressed with his regrowth he already referred two friends to Ashley and Martin. This new hair had given Rafan his confidence back and he is very relieved he took action when he did.

Case Study: Successful Hair Loss Treatment with Ashley and Martin

June 6th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Enod’s career was based on being in the public eye at all times when at work. And as such, his hair was a big part of his persona. Thirty years old and having been losing his hair since he was 25, it took Enod three of those years to make the decision to call a professional hair loss company for help. It was after seeing advertising for Ashley and Martin online that he decided to take the next step towards regaining his hair.

To date, Enod had tried Chinese herbal medicine, over the counter topical solutions and a myriad of vitamins. He had even gone so far as to use a fibrous product that when sprinkled over his head, adhered to his hair making it appear fuller.

Very concerned about his appearance, Enod spoke to his Ashley and Martin consultant about what could be done to remedy the situation. The consultant, after diagnosing his androgenic alopecia as level V on the Norwood scale, took photos of Enod’s hair from every angle. Looking at these on the computer, Enod was shocked that his hair looked so sparse. He had no idea it had gotten this bad.

Eager to get started as soon as possible, Enod made a time to see the clinic hair loss doctor to have a check-up and his medication prescribed. All the non-prescription items Enod would need for his program were given to him before leaving the clinic.

Over the course of eight months, the hair loss Enod and his brother had inherited from his father began to disappear. At first the excessive shedding stopped, then Enod noticed fine, new hairs grow in the balding patches across his scalp. It did not seem to take long for Enod’s hair to look fuller and healthier.

At a regular Progress Review, Enod and his consultant compared photos from his initial consultation to ones taken on the day. The contrast between them was unbelievable; Enod was absolutely ecstatic with the difference eight short months had made to his life.

Case Study: Advanced Hair Loss Treated Successfully by Ashley and Martin

May 9th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Caden had first noticed his hair thinning six months previously. About twelve weeks after he initially became aware of his loss, he started to give consideration to getting assistance to solve the problem. Caden’s friend had been to Ashley and Martin to get treatment for his own hair loss, so when his friend needed help he recommended the people that had helped him.

Looking at Caden’s hair loss, the Ashley and Martin consultant could instantly see that the severity of the loss had been caused by years, not months of damage. In fact, his consultant thought it was likely Caden’s hair had started falling out at a faster than average rate between four and six years ago. His advanced hair loss was placed at III-IV on the Norwood scale, but the good news was that Caden had not left it too late to get treatment.

The consultant explained everything that would be involved in treatment, the medications and therapies that would be used and discussed realistic results that could be achieved. Caden was free to go home and think it over after his free consult, but opted to sign up and start his treatment that same day. He was booked in to see the clinic doctor to have a checkup and his medication prescribed before leaving the clinic.

Every week when Caden returned to the clinic to have his laser therapy treatment he was met with friendly smiles from the staff that made him feel welcome. Before he knew it, it was time to assess his progress on the program by comparing photos taken at his initial consult to ones taken four months later.

Ecstatic with the results he was seeing in the mirror and on the screen in front of him, the 38-year-old was extremely glad he had listened to his friend’s recommendation. The simple, everyday treatment had netted him the results he was looking for and helped him stave of the genetic loss passed down through the generations.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Client Receives Additional Benefit of Program

April 30th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

It had been three years since James had noticed the first stages of hair loss. He was only 20 years old when the genetic condition passed down to him through a direct family link was discovered. Over the years he had made several enquires to Ashley and Martin, however, he had convinced himself that his hair loss did not concern him greatly enough to do anything about it and had never gone further than submitting an enquiry.

Worried that too much time had passed since first discovering his hair loss for any treatment to be effective, James finally attended an appointment with Ashley and Martin to find out if anything could be done. His consultant gathered background information to inform the results of a scalp examination that would be done in that appointment. When his consultant told him he still had a good base with which to work, he was over the moon. His consultant explained how together with the clinic doctor, they would be able to achieve a positive outcome with the use of prescription medication, herbal supplements and laser therapy. Complemented by specialised hygiene products to keep his scalp a healthy environment for new hairs to grow, James was likely to see real results with Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® program.

After four months of consistent treatment, James was called by the clinic to attend his first Ashley and Martin Progress Review. The photos that were taken in his first appointment were compared alongside the ones taken that day. Neither James or his consultant had to look hard to see the results. Even without seeing the evidence in front of him at his Review, James had noticed the regrowth he had been experiencing.

James told his consultant that he felt so much more confident than when he had first started his RealGROWTH® program. He also let his consultant know he loved using the shampoo and conditioner that had been given to him as they had cleared up his long-standing dandruff problem.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Client sees Success with Real Growth Program

April 18th, 2018 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Peter sat in his consultant’s office, thrilled with the results he was seeing on the screen. It had been comforting at the time of his initial consultation to know that his progress on the RealGROWTH® program would be tracked with photographic evidence. But over the course of the first four months of his program, he knew he would not be needing the photos to show him that he was regaining all the hair he had lost over the last eight years. He was already telling people about the changes he was seeing.

Four months earlier Peter had attended an initial appointment with his Ashley and Martin consultant to find out if it was too late for medical intervention. He had always been aware of his thinning, however he had become increasingly self-conscious over the last two years.

Peter’s consultant was upfront with him about the limitations medical intervention may have due to the length and severity of his genetic loss. And while he was not in the business of giving false hope, there was certainly hope to be had. The benefits and drawbacks of the RealGROWTH® program were laid out for Peter so he could make an informed decision that suited his personal circumstances.

Making the decision to commence a RealGROWTH® program was not one that Peter regretted. His only regret was not starting it sooner. The photos he was looking at four months after starting showed him what he had been telling everyone about. While he had not regrown the entirety of his lost hair, his hair had thickened substantially all over. Where his crown had been in danger of balding, he now had good coverage and his temporal recession had reduced beyond what Peter could have hoped for.

Thomas attended regular low level laser therapy session at his clinic fortnightly to ensure optimized results. He was also diligent with the use of the medical and other hair loss products.

17 year old regains Surfer image through early Ashley & Martin intervention

May 24th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

At 17 Rohan’s* appearance was already very important to him. Living by the beach and loving to surf Rohan’s hair was paramount to his overall image. Despite his age and very healthy lifestyle Rohan knew the thinning of his hair was not going to stop. He knew if he didn’t take action while he was young he would follow the same path of his grandfather’s hair loss.

Relaxing, watching TV Rohan spotted an Ashley and Martin advertisement and immediately discussed what he had seen with his Mum and whether he should attend a consultation at his nearest hair clinic. She was incredibly supportive and encouraged Rohan to make the phone call to book a free consultation.

Rohan’s consultant could immediately see why Rohan and his Mum were concerned about his hair; at 17 his hairline was already receding at the temples and the density on the top of his scalp was thinning particularly in the area of the crown. After speaking with his consultant, Rohan was reassured his concerns about his hair were certainly justified and that Ashley and Martin could indeed offer a treatment suitable to his particular situation.

Due to Rohan’s age a specific hair regrowth program was recommended by his consultant and hair loss doctor with a view to reassessing his treatment the following year when he turned 18. Feeling reassured by the advice and information he had been given, Rohan made a start on his RealGROWTH ® program and attended regular laser therapy sessions in the clinic. This ensured maximum results until he was able to start the full RealGROWTH ® medical program at 18.

Once Rohan turned 18, his treatment plan was reviewed and an oral anti androgen introduced. Within 8 months of starting treatment, Rohan had hair regrowth visible at the temples and the density of his hair had doubled, he was returning back to the surfer image he was longing for. Rohan was very impressed, so much so he now rents his own laser cap to continue his hair loss treatment program, as this fits into his young busy lifestyle.

Case Study: Client Comes to Ashley and Martin after His Brother Regrows Hair With RealGROWTH Treatment

May 10th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

It was Marc’s* older brother who referred him to Ashley and Martin. His brother had come to Ashley and Martin seeking treatment for genetic hair loss over twelve months ago. He had received such good results from his treatment that Marc was keen to get started on his own treatment and nip his early hair loss in the bud.

The seventeen year old had a good idea of what was involved with treatment as he had watched his brother undertaking his own treatment routine on a regular basis. The consultant he met with for his free consultation checked Marc’s understanding of what was involved with treatment and how the program would work for him. Satisfied that Marc was clear on all aspects of the treatment he would be signing up for, the consultant enrolled Marc on a RealGROWTH® program.

He kept in close contact with his consultant and during one of Marc’s early check-ups his consultant discovered that Marc was not adhering to his treatment routine every day. His consultant encouraged Marc to follow the routine closely to get the best possible results from his hair loss treatment. Marc knew the consultant was right and put a plan in place to ensure he would not miss his daily application.

After four months on the program, Marc attended another progress check-up. Photos were taken of his hair from the same angles as the ones taken in his initial appointment and compared against each other. Both men could see that Marc’s hair was not only healthier but had increased in density in his trouble areas. Where his hair had been lacking in density throughout his temporal region previously, Marc was now sporting a strong hairline. With results that matched his brother’s, Marc was extremely happy with his own RealGROWTH® program.

Case Study: Client Moves Forward With Treatment after Seeing Results Achieved by other Ashley and Martin Clients

April 26th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

For years Dean* had been noticing his hair thinning and regressing. To hide his hair loss he had taken to shaving his hair short. But even with a shaven head, friends were making comments about his steadily decreasing hair. The final straw came when he saw pictures of himself at a work function; seeing himself in these images, the severity of his hair loss finally hit home. He was completely aware how bad the regression in his temples and loss in his frontal hair line had been, however it was seeing his balding crown that prompted Dean into seeking help with Ashley and Martin.

After gathering background information and conducting a scalp examination, Dean’s consultant determined Dean was suffering from male pattern hair loss. The best hair loss treatment for this condition at Dean’s level was Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program. The consultant explained how the program worked and the benefits Dean was likely to receive. He also showed Dean examples of results other clients had received with the RealGROWTH® program. Seeing outcomes of the treatment plan for people who were experiencing similar levels of hair loss as he was gave Dean the confidence to move forward with treatment.

Dean adhered closely to his treatment plan and four months later he was contacted to participate in his first Ashley and Martin Review. It surprised Dean just how easy the progress had been and how little effort it had taken on his behalf to follow the program. His progress photos showed great strides forward had been made in all areas of his hair loss. His temporal recession had moved forward, frontal hair line strengthened and hair covered the thinning crown that had distressed him initially. Dean was very pleased with all aspects of his treatment.
