Before the world was hit by the global pandemic, Blake’s* luxury travel industry job had taken him around the world. This elite industry was all about brand, quality and image and Blake always wanted to look his best. Although he wasn’t suffering any self-esteem issues, he was aware that his hair was thinning and it made him feel as though he wasn’t looking his best at work. At 47 years old he was keen to halt the shedding before it got any worse so he filled in the online contact form to request an appointment to visit an Ashley and Martin hair loss specialist.

At his initial appointment, the friendly consultant  examined Blake’s scalp and asked him some questions about his general health and hair loss history. Blake told the consultant that he’d been thinning on top for 5 to 7 years and had been considering treatment for most of those years but had never actually got around to addressing the problem. He also disclosed that there was some family history of hair fall with his grandfather suffering from baldness. His consultant diagnosed him with  androgenic alopecia – also known as male pattern hair loss – Norwood level III vertex.

The Norwood scale (or Hamilton-Norwood scale) is the leading classification system used to measure the extent of male pattern baldness. At level 3 vertex, Blake had a slight recession around his temples but significant hair loss on the top of his scalp (the vertex) and it was this ‘bald spot’ that Blake was keen to get rid of.

The consultant felt confident that the RealGROWTH^® program could help Blake regrow hair by reactivating the dormant hair follicles and promoting new growth.  This multi-faceted approach also included the use of a laser cap to stimulate the hair follicles, resulting in thicker hair growth. Blake felt reassured after his visit to the clinic and went away to consider his options. He was called away by work for six weeks but signed up on his return and, six months into the treatment plan, he is enjoying the benefits of his regrowth.

Both Blake and his partner are very happy with the result. Halfway through the treatment program, his vertex had covered over with strong, fresh regrowth and his hair felt better than if had done in years. His travel opportunities had obviously stopped due to the pandemic, but Blake now felt more confident turning up to work knowing that he was looking (and feeling) his best.

Fritz* had been suffering from hair loss for nearly four years but the shedding that he’d experienced in the last 12 months had caused him particular concern. There was no denying the fact that he was on the way to ‘going bald’ – just like his grandfather. He was concerned about his appearance but didn’t do anything about it because he didn’t think anything would work. He’d been considering treatment for a few years but was put off because he’d seen ads on tv and success stories online but always thought that they were just a gimmick. He thought that the before and after photos had been doctored to exaggerate results that weren’t actually real.

He was wrong.

As it turned out, a friend of his was receiving treatment for hair loss at an Ashley and Martin medical hair loss clinic…someone he knew was actually getting great results and Fritz could see those results for himself. His friend referred him on to the consultant and Fritz enrolled in the same RealGROWTH^® treatment program in the hope that he, too, would see some results.

Eight months into his treatment plan Fritz thought back to how wrong he had been about hair restoration success stories. He was well on his way to being his OWN success story and he was both surprised and elated about the new regrowth that he was experiencing. Close friends had also noticed the difference and the friend who referred him commented on how great his hair was looking.

It’s kind of ironic that Fritz is now one of those success stories and his before and after photos are here online for everyone to see.

No gimmicks.

Just years of experience and medically proven results from the largest medical hair centre in the southern hemisphere.

At 48 years old, Karl* decided it was finally time to get some professional help for his hair loss. He was conscious that he’d been losing hair for the last six years and it had just sort of niggled at the back of his mind as something he should address but when he noticed that his receding frontal hair line was getting visibly worse, he was prompted to take action.

He remembered seeing the Ashley and Martin hair restoration ads on tv during the footy and made an online enquiry. At his initial free appointment Karl chatted to the consultant about his family history (his mother and his maternal grandparents had suffered hair loss) and about why he had chosen to take action now – he had tried over the counter medications but nothing had stopped the shedding. He knew that it was mostly genetic; his stress levels were up but no more than anyone else’s (juggling work, kids and general life) but he managed stress well and spent lots of down time playing with his kids and exercising. He could definitely  relate to the Ashley and Martin ads he had seen on tv and figured he could probably save his hair if he sought out professional treatment.

He was right.

Karl enrolled on the RealGROWTH^® treatment program with low level laser treatment on the same day and has not looked back. The regrowth he was experiencing exceeded his (and his partner’s) expectations and he felt great. His hair was more dense around his crown and, his frontal hair line – which had stopped receding, was covering over with thick new growth. He even enjoys going to get his hair cut now, because it grows back so much better than it has for years and it looks fantastic.

Malek* felt fantastic about the results he was seeing since starting the RealGROWTH^® program with Ashley and Martin. At 23 years old, he’d been losing his hair for nearly 12 months and had considered looking into professional treatment for 6 of those 12 months.

His hair was very dark and the skin on his crown was quite noticeable in contrast; his thinning crown was making him feel self-conscious about his appearance. With a family history of male pattern baldness (his brother and father both suffered from similar hair-loss) Malek felt it was time to enlist that professional help that he had been considering and, after being referred to an Ashley and Martin medical hair loss clinic by another family member, he made an appointment for a free consultation.

It came as no surprise when he was diagnosed with male pattern baldness – level 3 vertex on the Norwood scale. The consultant explained that the Norwood scale is the medical classification system used to measure the extent of male pattern baldness.

Eleven months into his treatment program Malek was feeling fantastic. His receding hairline had halted and he was indeed growing thick, healthy hair over his once visible scalp. His vertex (which had suffered the most hair loss) had also started to cover over with new growth but Malek wanted more results and was ready to re-enroll in the program for further treatment. He could see he was on the road to almost full recovery – his wife and brother had also commented on how great his hair was looking.

Malek was excited to re-enroll. He’d got his confidence back and could relax back into life with his young family without having to worry about going bald at an early age.
