Darren* was not particularly impressed when his hair loss began to show. He had been using a caffeinated shampoo that was supposed to stop his hair loss, but it certainly did not appear to be working. His hair was thinning and there was no disguising it now. Knowing that treatment had been playing on his mind for the past couple of years and that he was not happy with the changes to his appearance, Darren’s partner strongly encouraged him to seek help from the same company that had helped his friend. And knowing better than to argue, Darren called Ashley and Martin to book an appointment for himself.

Speeding through his story, Darren outlined his family history of hair loss. Brother, father, both maternal and paternal uncles and a grandfather. All the men in his family experienced hair loss, but Darren was not ready to give in to it just yet.

Upon confirming Darren fully understood everything that was involved in treatment, the consultation was at an end shortly after it had started. Darren already knew how the treatment program worked and had seen it produce fantastic results for his friend. He was ready to sign on the dotted line as soon as he had heard it would work for him too.

Even though he had seen medical hair loss treatment work for his friend, it was still exciting to experience it himself. His confidence in the program grew as fast as his new hair did. His sister, who had been living overseas was taken aback at the change she could see when she came home. And after four months on the program he purchased a portable laser treatment device for himself to use at home instead of coming into the clinic. After meeting with his consultant to assess the progress he had made on the program after sixteen weeks, Darren was so happy that he spent the night celebrating over a few drinks with his mates.

Fifteen year old Tyler* was worried he would be completely bald like his father before he reached 20. Hair loss was prevalent in his family going back generations and, having already been losing his hair for the past year, he was concerned about it affecting him so early in life. Almost as soon as it had started he had begun thinking about seeking treatment. Tyler had heard about Ashley and Martin on the TV and knew he did not need to wait any longer to reach his turning point.

Meeting with an Ashley and Martin consultant, Tyler and his father discussed the treatment path they had already tried through a dermatologist. While they felt the hair loss may have slowed using the oral treatment, they had not been successful in regrowing hair.

After a scalp examination, the consultant diagnosed Tyler with a Norwood level II loss. Initially it was his frontal hair line that had concerned Tyler the most, but after seeing photos taken from every angle, his crown worried him the most. A scalp condition and the idea of going bald like his father so young had prompted him to see a dermatologist initially. Without results there, he was determined to find a way to prevent the family trait quickly.

Due to his age and scalp condition, the consultant booked Tyler in to speak with the clinic hair loss doctor before moving forward. It was a great relief to Tyler to find that although not all the components of the RealGROWTH^® program would be suitable for him at this stage of life, treatment was still available. He was prescribed a topical solution to apply to his scalp daily and was encouraged to attend regular laser therapy appointments in the clinic.

Four months of weekly laser therapy and daily application of his RealGROWTH^® solution provided the results he had been looking for when approaching his dermatologist. His hair loss had been reduced to a natural rate of shedding and he had begun to regrow hair. Parents and son alike were thrilled with the decision to call Ashley and Martin for help.

Aarav* had grown up seeing his father develop a balding patch at the front of his scalp. And like their father, Aarav’s brother had developed the same hair loss throughout the frontal region of his scalp. Aarav himself had noticed his hair getting thinner across his crown, frontal and temporal region. He was only 22.

Not wanting to end up like his father and brother, Aarav did not waste time trying pharmacy products and home remedies. He searched online for a hair loss solution that had evidence to back up its claims and a good reputation. Finding Ashley and Martin, Aarav made contact through the online enquiry form and was pleased to see how quickly he received a call from someone to discuss booking a free consultation.

It took Aarav a few days to think about everything he had found out in his initial consultation and begin his RealGROWTH^® program. He had received a scalp examination which indicated he had been losing his hair for at least two years and, as suspected, was caused by genetics. Photos of his hair had been taken from multiple angles so that if he did choose to proceed with treatment, he and his consultant would be able to accurately assess his progress on the program and adjust accordingly if needed.

And he was thrilled that he had made the decision to commence treatment. In just a few short months his medical hair regrowth program had produced an almost full recovery and he had the photos to prove it. His frontal hair line had gone from thin and wispy to thick and strong. His hair had increased in overall density, filling in the gaps from his frontal region to his crown. Beaming, Aarav looked at the difference between the photos taken today and the ones from his initial appointment. Ashley and Martin had delivered on their promises and put control over his hair loss in his own hands.

Hair loss in Clint’s family had passed from father to son. The hormone that had in their younger years, been responsible for hair growth, was now being transformed into the androgen causing their follicles to miniaturise and become dormant. Twelve months previously, 47-year-old Clint had been especially stressed from pressures at work. It was at this time he began to notice his hair loss increasing. Calling Ashley and Martin for help, he booked an appointment around his hectic schedule to discuss the treatment options available to him.

Conducting a scalp examination, the consultant diagnosed Clint with male pattern hair loss, Norwood III vertex. Five years of untreated genetic hair loss had left Clint with sparsely populated, reedy hair with a deep recession in the temporal region. With components that would target the formation of the androgen causing Clint’s hair loss, promote new growth and nurture new hair the consultant recommended a RealGROWTH^® medical hair growth program.

Between young children, work and emergency call outs Clint struggled to find the time to attend laser therapy appointments at the clinic. But thankfully, the majority of his program took place at home in the evening and was quick and easy to perform each night before bed.

Clint’s first Ashley and Martin Review appointment took place after he had been faithfully following the home-based portion of his program for four months. And while Clint had watched his hair filling out first hand, it was hard to believe just how far he had come in only sixteen weeks. The start of his program was a roaring success and he was pleased he had called Ashley and Martin after hearing about the medical hair loss treatment on the radio. Perhaps he should have done it two years ago when he had first thought about seeking treatment.
