Alex, a 33 year old civil servant, was aware that his hair was thinning on top but had already resigned himself to the fact that he would go bald at some point…just like his father.

It was his fiancée who first suggested that he should speak to someone about getting treatment as she was concerned that, if he left it too late, Alex would go bald at a much younger age than his father. With their wedding on the horizon they were keen to see if something could be done and Alex wanted to look his best on their big day.

His fiancée filled in the online form and they went into the Ashley and Martin hair loss clinic together for Alex’s free consultation. The consultant explained to the couple that, as the hair loss process advances hair follicles become miniaturised, causing hair to grow in thinner strands until eventually, the follicles become dormant. Not wanting to lose any more time, they signed up on the same day.

Unsurprisingly, Alex was diagnosed with Male Pattern Baldness, Norwood IV and Alex began the 12 month RealGROWTH^® medical hair loss program with DHT inhibitors and regular laser treatments.

Within four months of meeting with Ashley and Martin’s hair loss doctor to have his medications prescribed, Alex had regained a strong frontal hair line. His fiancée had noted that his scalp was less oily and his hair was thicker and fuller than she had seen in a long time. With the rest of his treatment, he was going to look great in the wedding photos.

Surprised that his hair had begun to visibly increase in density after only eight weeks using Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® medical hair loss program, 24-year-old Li Jun* was thrilled that he had found a hair loss solution that worked. Preparing for his final exams in his last year of studies, Li Jun had been under a great deal of pressure and suffering from a lack of sleep. The additional stress on his body had led to a rapid loss of hair and it was not until he saw photos of his hair during his initial consultation that he had realised just how bad it had gotten.

Both his father and paternal grandfather had lost their hair when they were younger, but Li Jun was had not been ready to go through that yet. Trying to save his hair before it was too late, Li Jun had researched hair loss solutions online once his exams had finished and had tried several of the products he had found. However, after two months, there had been little to no change. Turning to the internet again, Li Jun had found Ashley and Martin and used the online contact form to request an appointment.

Having been greatly concerned about his appearance before regrowing hair with Ashley and Martin, once his Norwood III vertex male pattern hair loss had started to reverse itself, Li Jun’s friends all noticed the difference. The combination of prescription medication, herbal supplements, regular laser therapy treatments, and scalp hygiene products had given Li Jun the confidence boost he needed to start his professional career with optimism and self-assurance.

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.

Twenty-four years old and recently graduated, Yu Yan* had hoped that after she had graduated her increased shedding would cease. However, with the long hours she was working, the constant travel, and inconsistent meals, her hair fall increased. She tried red light therapy to try and resolve the issue, however it did not stop her hair loss and her body continued to suffer as a result of her lifestyle. Researching online to find a hair loss solution with good Google feedback, Yu Yan used the online booking form on Ashley and Martin’s website to book her free consultation.

Sharing her concerns about how her widening part line was changing her appearance with the consultant, Yu Yan was hopeful that something could be done to help her. Performing a scalp examination, the consultant confirmed that with no family history of female pattern hair loss, Yu Yan’s Ludwig I level hair loss was a direct result of her mental stress, poor dietary habits, and low iron levels. And having been considering treatment since the day she had first noticed the problem, Yu Yan opted to move forward straight away. Before commencing any treatment, however, it was important for her to meet with the clinic hair loss doctor to rule out any underlying medical issues that might be causing her to lose her hair.

Pleased to find that her stress and anaemia were no barrier to undertaking a RealGROWTH^®  hair loss program and there were no medical issues she had been unaware of, Yu Yan started treatment that day. Consistent in her treatment routine and laser therapy appointments, within the first sixteen weeks she started to see exceptional results; a vast improvement on the red light therapy she had tried previously. Friends and colleagues began to notice the difference in her hair, and she was so thrilled with her program that a friend of hers has since regrown her hair too after coming to Ashley and Martin at Yu Yan’s suggestion.
