Steven’s* friend had been watching him gradually lose his hair over the last decade; it had started right after they had left school at 18 years old. Over the years Steven had tried several over the counter remedies available at the chemist, but his hair continued to aggressively recede along his parietal ridge. When Steve turned 25 he started to give serious thought to seeking medical intervention. It weighed on his mind for several years before he said anything, he thought maybe people would think it was ridiculous for him to want to see a doctor about his hair loss. To Steven’s surprise the friend he spoke to was incredibly supportive and suggested he call Ashley and Martin as he knew people who had used our services and gotten wonderful results. He completely understood how losing his hair had affected Steven’s self-confidence and that he needed to seek treatment for this issue to help him feel better about himself.
A quick phone call later and Steven was booked in to see a consultant to discuss treatment for his hair loss. He decided to take his partner with him to the appointment so they could make the decision together. He trusted her opinion and she supported his need to treat his hair loss.
The couple were pleased to find that while Steven was the one who was experiencing the problem, the consultant recognised that this was a decision they would make together. He addressed them both, made Steven’s partner feel included in the process and answered any questions that she had about the treatment.
The consultant recommended a full medications plan to treat Steven’s advanced hair loss. Being health conscious, Steven and his partner were unsure about taking all the medications included in the program and asked about the efficacy of the treatment should he chose not to take all of them. After hearing all the information and the likely outcomes from different treatment options, the couple decided to go home and talk it over.
A few days later Steven called and told his consultant he had decided to go ahead with treatment. The consultant put together a RealGROWTH® medications plan that had been tailored to meet Steven’s needs and he commenced treatment immediately. As the hair along his parietal ridge stopped shedding excessively and began to grow back Steven found his confidence returning. He knew the regrowth would take longer than if he was on a full medications plan, but he was very happy with the changes he was seeing and was excited to see further regrowth as time went on.
