Case Study: Parents Supportive of Son’s Treatment After Seeing Troubling Change in His Demeanour

Keith’s* hair loss was wreaking havoc on his confidence. An ever-widening part line was causing him a great deal of concern and so, after finding Ashley and Martin online, he attended an appointment with his parents along for support.

Although only 22-years-old, Keith had become extremely diffident and introverted. This change in their son’s demeanour troubled Keith’s parents. Socially, Keith was suffering due to the crisis of confidence his hair loss was having on him. Keith’s father knew how his son was feeling, he himself had fought the losing battle against hair loss, as had his brothers.

Upon examination, Keith’s consultant could see that although he had only been noticing the hair loss since he turned 20, it had clearly been longer than two years since the excess shedding had started. At 22, his diagnosis of Norwood Level IV male pattern hair loss was further advanced than average for his age.

A RealGROWTH^® medical hair regrowth program would be the most effective way to regrow Keith’s hair. The consultant explained the process of medical hair regrowth to Keith and answered everyone’s questions. Armed with the knowledge of the process, pricing and likely outcomes, the family went home to discuss treatment for Keith further.

Concerned about their son, Keith’s parents supported him in his decision to treat his hair and a week after first meeting with his consultant Keith had returned, ready to start his medical hair regrowth journey.

Although Keith struggled to attend laser therapy appointment regularly due to transport issues, he took his oral medication nightly and remembered to apply his topical solution at least five nights a week. And although he was not fully participating in his program, Keith found his hair responded well. So well that his family could all see the difference it was making to both his appearance and his demeanour.

It was an extremely happy and much more outgoing young man that attended his first Ashley and Martin Review. The startling difference sixteen weeks of treatment had made to Keith was astounding. Part way into his treatment, Keith’s dormant follicles had re-entered their growth phase and the hair across his crown had increased in density tremendously. With his treatment from Ashley and Martin, Keith had become the young man he used to be.
