Case Study: Hair Loss Increases Dramatically After Moving to Singapore

Since his early 20’s, Ian* had been wanting to regrow hair. And in the intervening 20 years his hair loss had been steady and gradual, until moving to Singapore for work. With the additional stress of the move, Ian found his hair shedding at an increasingly rapid rate. Over the past ten years he had tried using an over the counter topical remedy, however it was without any noticeable success. Turning to Google to help him find hair loss solutions that work, 43-year-old Ian was delighted to find there was an Ashley and Martin clinic in Singapore. Conveniently, he was able to request a call from the Singapore Hair Loss Clinic online, and it was only a short time before his phone rang and he was able to book an appointment to speak to a consultant.

Upon examination, the hair loss consultant could see a deep symmetrical recession in the temporal region that was sparsely covered by hair. Together with the limited recession of the frontotemporal hair line and a strong family history of hair loss, Ian was diagnosed with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood level III vertex. Discussing all aspects of the medical hair loss treatment that would be most effective for Ian, the consultant gave her professional recommendation and gave Ian a chance to ask any questions he had. Fit and healthy, Ian was a perfect candidate for a RealGROWTH^® program; however, as he and his wife were trying for another baby, Ian decided to forego the oral medication until they had completed their family.

With his hair slowly growing back over the course of his reduced RealGROWTH^® program, Ian ensured he adhered closely to each element of the multifaceted treatment to get the best results possible. Tracking his new hair growth in regular Progress Reviews, by the time he had completed his limited program Ian was ready to use oral medication to boost his results.

With the additional element added into his program to address the root cause of his hair loss, Ian’s regrowth increased substantially. His wife, a doctor herself, was thrilled with his decision to treat his hair; she knew how important it was to him and could see the improvement in his self esteem with the return of his hair.
