Case Study: Client’s Only Regret Was Not Coming to Ashley and Martin Sooner

April 12th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Lynton* had begun to notice his hair regressing around three years before coming to Ashley and Martin. It was not that he had not wanted to come in sooner, he had just continued to put it off and before he knew it years had passed without doing anything towards keeping his hair.

His consultant was glad that Lynton had come in when he had. Although his hair loss was extensive, especially throughout the front, he still had a good base to work from. The two men discussed how the RealGROWTH® program worked and how this applied to Lynton in his stage of hair loss.

Worried that treatment would not be possible on his tight budget, Lynton was hesitant about moving forward with treatment until, when laying out costs, his consultant mentioned he had the option of either paying in full or in smaller instalments that fit with his pay cycle.

Wanting to get the best out of his program, Lynton followed his program exactly as directed. His quick treatment application in the evenings slotted easily into his daily routine, quickly becoming habit. And, although not necessary, he visited his consultant every month to review his progress on the program.

After four months on the program, Lynton came in to see his consultant for his first scheduled Ashley and Martin Review of his progress. The consultant took another set of photos and put them up alongside photos taken in Lynton’s first appointment. The impact of seeing these images side by side spoke for itself. Lynton was extremely happy with the outcome of his treatment to date and was looking forward to seeing where treatment would take him down the track. His only regret was not coming to see us sooner.

Case Study: Client Comes to Ashley and Martin After Other Hair Loss Clinics Fail to Produce Results

March 28th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Mark* had been losing his hair for longer than he could remember when he came to Ashley and Martin in a last ditch attempt to keep his hair. He had tried hair loss treatments from several other companies, however nothing he had been sold had given him any success. After all his efforts and wasted money, Mark’s hair continued to fall out at an alarming rate.

By the time he walked through the doors at Ashley and Martin, Mark’s hair loss was quite advanced. A deep temporal recession extended back from his weak frontal hair line to his rapidly deteriorating crown. Seeing the extent of his hair loss, Mark’s consultant was honest with him about the likely outcomes of treatment. His hair loss was quite advanced and therefore he would not expect to be able to regrow all of his hair. In the time before coming to Ashley and Martin, many of the hair follicles had passed through their dormant, Telogen, phase and had become irreparably damaged. That being said, however, there was certainly a base to work from and medical treatment with Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® program would yield results.

Knowing this was his last chance at regrowing his hair, Mark signed up for a RealGROWTH® program. He was provided with his non-prescription hair loss products and booked in to see the clinic doctor for a check-up and to have his medication prescribed.

Determined to get the most out of this final treatment option, Mark adhered strictly to the treatment plan he was given by the clinic doctor and consultant. It took time, but the progress Mark made astounded his consultant as well as himself. Mark had achieved results far above what either man could have hoped for. His new hair had Mark looking and feeling fantastic; his confidence had grown insurmountably. It may have been a last ditch effort that brought Mark to Ashley and Martin, but his treatment had given him first class results.

Case Study: Ashley and Martin Finds Solution for Client Who Cannot Attend Clinic for Laser Therapy

March 15th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Kirk* came to Ashley and Martin after he saw our advertising on the television. Having recently moved to Australia, it was not just Ashley and Martin he had never heard of before. Until seeing our adverts Kirk was not aware that there were medical solutions to hair thinning.

The dominant hair loss gene that Kirk had inherited had been passed down to him from the maternal side of his family. The hair loss specialist Kirk met with for his free consultation found he had no known medical conditions that might be impacting the natural hair growth cycle and confirmed Kirk’s assumption that his hair loss was the genetic condition, androgenic alopecia.

The consultant discussed what would be involved in treating Kirk’s hair loss with him. The only issue Kirk raised, after finding out how each of the therapies involved would work together to halt the excessive shedding, address the root cause of his hair loss and regrow his hair, was that he would be unable to attend the clinic regularly for laser therapy treatments.

Knowing this was a problem for many clients, Ashley and Martin had a solution on hand. Kirk was able to add a laser cap to his treatment program in order to perform the laser treatments at home. Happy to proceed with treatment, knowing he would be able to fully participate in the program, Kirk signed up straight away.

Eleven months after he first met with the consultant he came in to the clinic for his first Ashley and Martin Review. Kirk had been unable to keep in contact with the clinic regularly and when he saw the difference between his comparison photos, he was shocked. It had been easy to forget how deep the recession in his temples had been after his hair had begun to regrow.

Feeling happy and confident with the progress he had made on his RealGROWTH® program, Kirk looked forward to maintaining the results he had gained with Ashley and Martin.

Case Study: Progress Photos Show Client Surprising Results at Ashley and Martin Review

March 1st, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Jake* started noticing his hair start falling out more rapidly than it should about four years before he came to Ashley and Martin. This loss had come as no surprise to him, all the men in Jake’s family faced their own struggles with hair loss.

Young, healthy and aware of the genetics at play in his hair loss, Jake was keen to find out exactly how to regrow hair with Ashley and Martin’s medical treatment. His consultant described exactly what would be involved in treating Jake’s male pattern hair loss and, happy that treatment would not interfere with his busy lifestyle, Jake was happy to get started straight away. The consultant took photos of Jake’s hair in order to track his progress on the program and booked him in to see the clinic hair loss doctor.

It was eight months before his consultant saw Jake again. He had been travelling overseas for the majority of his treatment time and unable to come to the clinic for laser therapy and progress check-ups.

Finally back in the country, Jake came to see his consultant for a progress review. He knew the disproportionate shedding had slowed to a natural rate, but thought that in the eight months he had been undertaking hair loss treatment, he had not regrown any of the hair he had lost.

Jake’s consultant took photos of his hair again and together the two men looked at the photos side by side to assess Jake’s results. When Jake saw how thin his hair had been when he first came to Ashley and Martin compared with what it was like that day, he could see the increase in density he had received using his RealGROWTH® medical hair loss treatment program. It was a surprise to see for Jake as he had not noticed his hair gradually returning. Jake left the office pleased with the unexpected turn of events, happy he would be able to maintain the results he had received with Ashley and Martin.

Case Study: Treatment Results Exceed Even Ashley and Martin Consultant’s Expectations

February 12th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

It had been many years since William’s* hair had first began thinning. Forty-two years old and married with children, William came to Ashley and Martin in a last ditch effort to save his hair. Having left it so long, he was aware that there may be nothing that could be done and was prepared to accept the loss if this was the case.

This realistic attitude towards what could be achieved with medical intervention set William up for a pleasant surprise when his consultant, upon examination, informed him that he still had enough healthy hair follicles to work with. Healthy, with no impacting health issues, William was diagnosed with male pattern hair loss. Both sides of his family had contributed to his genetic condition; it was a common issue with the men in his family.

His consultant went on to explain the treatment process and projected results in detail so William would be able to make informed decisions. Questions answered and a clear picture of what he could achieve, William was pleased with the transparent advice he had been given. He signed up for treatment on the spot.

As the months passed, the improvement in William’s hair became evident to his family. His fine, sparse hair began to thicken up from the frontal region back to his crown. At his first Ashley and Martin review, four months into his treatment, William was already impressed with the changes he was seeing.

With regular application of his RealGROWTH® solution and diligent adherence to the rest of his treatment program, William’s hair continued to improve. Thrilled he would be able to maintain his newly regrown hair into the future, William was extremely happy he had come to Ashley and Martin. The final results of his eight month treatment plan exceeded even his consultant’s expectations of what William was likely to achieve on his RealGROWTH® program.

Case Studies: Drastic Changes Due to Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH Program Give Client Back Lost Confidence

January 12th, 2017 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Graham* had used all manner of herbal products and shampoos from the chemist to try and stem the aggressive hair loss he was experiencing. At only 24 years old Graham, a trained entertainer, had already stopped working in the field he was passionate about because he was so paranoid about his appearance. It was genuinely upsetting to him that he had already reached such an advanced degree of hair loss at such a young age.

Ever since he had first started losing his hair three years ago, Graham had wanted to do something to stop it happening. After three years of failed over the counter remedies, he knew he needed to accept help from hair loss specialist. Graham spoke to his hair dresser about his need for help finding the best hair loss treatment available to him. His hairdresser recommended Ashley and Martin and he called for the first available appointment shortly thereafter.

After ascertaining the cause of his hair loss, the hair growth products his consultant would use to treat the root cause and regrow hair where it had disappeared were discussed. Comfortable that this was the right treatment option for him, Graham signed up for a RealGROWTH® medical hair regrowth program.

Several months after he started treatment, Graham informed his consultant that he was moving to a different city. He was surprised at how smooth the transition was for him. Although the city he was moving to was much smaller, there was an Ashley and Martin hair loss clinic there for him to visit for his regular appointments. His information and initial photos for comparison were transferred to his new clinic before he even arrived at his new home. Shortly after moving in Graham received a call from his new clinic to introduce themselves and ask if he could like to come in for a laser therapy appointment.

Graham’s first Ashley and Martin Review was done by his new consultant and he was pleased with how familiar she was with his case. He had experienced a slight reaction to his topical solution but it had resolved itself quickly. It was overwhelming for Graham to see how much thicker and healthier his hair had become. Seeing such a drastic change in such a short period of time had given Graham back the confidence he had lost.

Case Study: Client Pleased Ashley and Martin Treatment Fits Into His Time Poor Lifestyle

December 29th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Pete* was no longer comfortable with the appearance of his hair. Over the past five years it had thinned so much that the time had finally come that he had to do something about it. Determined to find out the reasons behind his hair loss as well as how to regrow hair, Pete took to the internet. He had a history of hair loss on his mother’s side of the family and his research pointed to his own hair loss being genetic. He had found out that the maternal side of the family carried the dominant hair loss gene that was causing his hair to fall out at a higher than normal rate.

Using the internet again to locate a hair loss specialist to help him with his genetic problem, Pete found Ashley and Martin. Adding to the research Pete had done for himself, his Ashley and Martin consultant discussed lifestyle choices, stress levels and health issues with Pete. Fit, healthy and living a life that did not lead to any excessive stress, Pete’s best hair loss treatment option was a medications program. The RealGROWTH® program, which would involve Pete seeing the clinic’s hair loss doctor, would target the process causing his hair to fall out as well as focus on regrowing new hair.

Feeling positive about what he had discussed with his consultant and having been shown before and after photos of other people in a similar position to him when they had attended Ashley and Martin, 39 year old Pete was keen to get started.

Pete’s work schedule was demanding and he struggled to find time to come in to the hair loss clinic to see his consultant and attend laser therapy appointments. He was very pleased that his treatment was so easy and quick to do at home that his time poor lifestyle did not affect his ability to undergo treatment. After seven months on the program Pete returned to see his consultant for an Ashley and Martin Review. Looking at his progress photos, Pete could see the results were well above what he had expected. He had known there had been hair regrowth having seen the results each day as he looked in the mirror. However it was not until he saw the photos taken on his first meeting with his consultant compared to the ones taken minutes beforehand that he could truly appreciate the level of change that had occurred.

Like so many clients before home, Pete’s only regret was that he had waited five years before coming to see us.

Case Study: Client Cannot Remain Sceptical That Hair Regrowth is Possible After Second Ashley and Martin Review

December 15th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Dhruv* had heard about Ashley and Martin from a friend who had been happy with the results he had achieved from his own hair loss treatment. Dhruv was sceptical about the efficacy of anyone claiming to know how to regrow hair as he had tried using over the counter hair loss products without any success in the past. Aware that genetics were playing their part in his hair loss, Dhruv called Ashley and Martin to discuss the hair loss he had inherited from both his mother’s and father’s sides of the family.

When the consultant explained all the components in the recommended course of treatment to Dhruv he raised concerns over one of the medications suggested. His concerns had come from misleading information he had read on the internet and the consultant was able to give him the correct information regarding the medication in question. Needing some time to do some more research about what his consultant had told him, Dhruv went home to think it all over.

Twelve months later Dhruv made another appointment to see his consultant. He had thoroughly researched hair loss and found his consultant was right about his concerns being unfounded. He was now ready to start taking the medication he had initially been worried about. Still sceptical that his consultant could really produce the results he claimed were possible with the proffered hair growth treatment, Dhruv started his RealGROWTH® program.

At the four month Ashley and Martin Review a second set of photographs were taken of Dhruv’s hair to assess his progress on the program. Even the sceptical and hard to impress 29 year old Dhruv had to admit that he could see the improvements that had happened since he had started treatment. His hair had increased in density all over and the recession he was experiencing in his temples had started to reverse.

By the time Dhruv participated in his second progress review a further five months later he was happier than he had been before. The results of his program were much more evident and even he could not remain sceptical that hair regrowth was indeed possible.

Sydney Clinic Case Study: Number of Individual Hairs Increases Dramatically by Using Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH

November 30th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Chandrashekhar* came to Ashley and Martin with the hope that we would be able to assist him to regrow hair. He was 28 years old and his hair was so sparse that he had begun shaving his head quite some time ago.

After examining Chandrashekhar’s scalp, the consultant had to tell him that due to the severity of the hair loss, there was a large chance that any results Chandrashekhar may receive from treatment would be minimal. The male pattern hair loss Chandrashekhar was suffering from had ravaged his hair density and any remaining hair folicles he did have in the frontal area and crown were few and far between. The consultant knew the medication he recommended had the potential to reverse hair loss this severe, however he was mindful that he did not want to give Chandrashekhar false hope or sell something that may not work as well as his client was hoping. Chandrashekhar still had hope however. In the past he had used other hair loss companies overseas and received good results. Despite his consultant’s limited expectations for success, Chandrashekhar was confident that Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH® program would provide a positive result for him.

After meeting with the clinic’s hair loss doctor, Chandrashekhar started his treatment, following the program to the letter. He did everything his consultant asked of him and as time progressed it was the consultant who was amazed by the amount of hair regrowth Chandrashekhar had received. Although he still kept his hair shaved close to his scalp the consultant could see the number of individual hairs had increased dramatically. In fact he was regrowing hair in areas his consultant had advised him it was highly unlikely he would regrow hair.

Sydney Clinic Case Study: Crisis of Confidence Resolved with Ashley and Martin

November 16th, 2016 by Ashley and Martin Case Studies

Aarzu* had recently been suffering a crisis of confidence. His work saw him interacting with new people on a regular basis and Aarzu needed to feel self-assured in front of strangers. With his recent hair loss his confidence had plummeted. Too insecure to remove his hat while in front of people, he had needed to make changes in the way he worked to alleviate his insecurities. Two of Aarzu’s friends who had achieved fantastic results with their own RealGROWTH® programs told him to give Ashley and Martin a call.

Feeling dejected and down, Aarzu came for a free consultation. Examining his scalp, his consultant could see he was in the early stages of hair loss. The recession in Aarzu’s temples was the most predominantly affected area. This pattern of loss and the fact he had come in for treatment so early in the hair loss process made Aarzu a superb candidate for treatment.
Aarzu already had a fair idea of what would be involved in treatment has his friends had told him all about their own programs. However, his consultant made sure Aarzu was clear on all aspects of the program, including his own individual expected outcomes. Aarzu was aware that there were no magic cures for his condition but was looking forward to seeing what his treatment would produce.

It was with a new spring in his step that Aarzu came to see his consultant for an Ashley and Martin Review to assess his progress after four months. He had been faithfully using his oral and topical medications, taking his supplements and attending laser therapy treatments. And to him, the results were almost like magic. He was delighted with the amount of hair he had regrown since first coming to Ashley and Martin and could not thank his consultant enough. As he had regained his hair, he had regained his confidence to stand in front of people. He was even confident enough to remove his hat in public again.
