A 44 year old Indian male presented with all over hair thinning, experiencing for 4-5 years, but noticeably over the last 2 years and was looking at preventing hair loss. He had a long family history of male hair loss (Brother, Father, Uncles, Grandfather), and no medical issues He reported progressive thinning across from his Crown to mid-section. He had been concerned about his hair loss and because he didn’t like the look of hair on the sides and back and no hair on top, he decided to shave his hair really short.  He didn’t suffer from any pain, itching or scalp issues. After a failed attempt treating his hair with two other Hair Loss companies, he decided to come and see Ashley and Martin as a last resort. He is very skeptical about treatments for preventing hair loss., and after 3 months of trying to convince the client to try our treatment, has decided to give it one more shot.

Examination revealed an extensive thinning down mid-section and vertex, slight thinning hairline and decreased luster and shine of the hair overall, consistent with a diagnosis of Male pattern hair loss stage VI. There was no scalp inflammation, and no evidence of infection or scarring scalp disease.

RealGROWTH^® treatment was initiated with Topical and Oral treatment. Also recommended Laser Therapy sessions, minimum once a fortnight for 15 mins. At his follow-up visit at 4 months, the patient reported significant increase in density and regrowth. He said that he noticed a change at around three weeks of treatment. He started Laser Therapy sessions once/twice a week. No side effects or issues with the treatment.

Photos revealed a significantly increase in hair density through mid-section, and noticeable healthy hair. Figure 1 shows the comparison between the baseline and 4 months appearance. Further use of RealGROWTH^® treatment is needed to achieve maximum regrowth  and maintenance. Client is very happy with his results and now not skeptical on preventing hair loss.

A 25 year old male presented to the clinic in February 2013 for a free consultation with grave concerns he was suffering with male pattern hair loss, as there was history on both sides of his family. He also was showing visible signs of thinning which was extremely distressing to him.

Upon the initial consult it was discovered the client had already been diagnosed with male pattern hair loss and was undergoing treatment with prescribed medications from his own doctor, although only for a the past few months and had not noticed any change at this time.

The visible decreased density on the crown and frontal areas of the scalp along with the client’s clear family history helped with the diagnosis of male androgenetic alopecia. The client had no past or present medical concerns and presented in good health.

After discussing all the treatment options for male pattern hair loss available, the client decided to continue on his own path of treatment for the time being. It was not until December 2014 when he returned to see if there was anything new available. He believed he was doing quite well in his treatment, however when we were checked the photos from the first consult against the photos taken on the day we discovered all was not well as he had visibly thinned even further.

It was at this point he decided to start on an Ashley and Martin medical RealGROWTH^® hair regrowth treatment program desperately hoping to regain his hair. Six months passed before he was able to visit for a check-up. Once again we took new photos and checked them side by side with previous ones. This time however there was clear visible improvement and the client was extremely happy and relieved.
