Gary’s* family had a history of male pattern hair loss with his father, uncle and maternal grandfather all beginning to go bald in their 20’s. This strong genetic history of hair loss left Gary with an assuredness that he himself would lose his hair also.  Gary had only been 18 when he began to notice his hair falling out.  His brothers were finding they were having the same pattern hair loss  problem and now, at 22 years old Gary’s hair had become very thin, showing his scalp through the diffuse hair.

He was reluctant to go down the route of a transplant having seen his brother go to India for that procedure.  The pre-existing hair had thinned around the transplanted hair leaving his brother with a patchy, unnatural spread of hair.  Gary was aware that there were non-surgical options to keep his hair from Ashley and Martin’s advertising; and with his hair playing a large part in his stage appearance with his band Gary was not ready to lose his hair just yet.

The consultant Gary came to see assessed him with Male Pattern Hair Loss between a Norwood type III vertex and type IV.  With plenty of thinning, but still active hair Gary was an excellent candidate for a RealGROWTH™ program.  The RealGROWTH^® medications plan was recommended to Gary with a Money Back Guarantee if he wanted one.

Gary took the information he had found out home to discuss with his family and 4 days later he returned to commence his treatment for pattern hair loss after seeing the in-clinic doctor.  Gary was came regularly for his fortnightly Low Level Laser Therapy treatments, only taking time off for an overseas holiday.

At Gary’s 4 month check-up the consultant was excited to see the results achieved with the pattern hair loss treatment he had recommended.  Gary’s hair had grown back thicker all over and he is singing the praises of the RealGROWTH^® program.  The biggest complement is to hear Gary talk about referring his friends to Ashley and Martin.

Hair loss treatment is the cornerstone of what Ashley and Martin provides to our patients, here’s another case study demonstrating its effectiveness. For the last year and a half 23 year old student Kasran* had been noticing his hair become steadily thinner all over.  Kasran had watched the men in his family, including his father, uncles and grandfather, lose their hair; with this family history of hair loss in mind a close relative urged  Kasran to seek hair loss treatment before it was too late.  After considering the idea of getting treatment for his hair loss for four months a friend who was already receiving treatment with Ashley and Martin referred him to our services.

The consultant trichologist Kasran came to see took a medical and family history and examined his hair loss.  At this early stage the diagnosis was Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood II; without hair loss treatment Kasran would undoubtedly progress further through the hair loss stages.  Never having used any other hair loss treatments Kasran listened as his consultant explained to him why his hair loss was occurring and how the multifaceted approach to treatment that Ashley and Martin offered would produce the most effective results for him.

The loss of hair density Kasran was experiencing had not yet reached an advanced stage and his consultant recommended a RealGROWTH^® medications hair loss treatment  program with regular laser treatments to stabilise his hair loss and regrow his lost hair.

Kasran went away and thought about the information he had been given.  After deciding to go ahead with hair loss treatment he made an appointment to come back and see his consultant two weeks later.

When Kasran came for his first progress check-up he was surprised and very happy with the early results of his RealGROWTH^® program.   His diffuse hair had increased in density beyond what he had expected and although he had watched as his hair regrew it wasn’t until he saw his comparison photographs side by side that he truly realised the overwhelming success of his treatment.
