Five months into treatment, Chen* was happy that her time and money had not been wasted. Looking at her progress photos, she could see the RealGROWTH^® program her consultant had suggested to her during her first visit was working as well as had been described.

Originally, Chen had come to her free consultation with the intention of finding out more about her condition so she could try and treat it herself. She had found Ashley and Martin’s website one and a half years prior to commencing medical hair loss treatment with a RealGROWTH^® program. After learning all she could from her consultant, Chen went home and, for the next eighteen months, improved her diet and was careful to get enough sleep each night. Sluggishly, Chen’s hair responded. A little less hair was falling out and she thought she saw a slight improvement. But by the time Chen turned 25, she was disheartened and ready to take the advice of her Ashley and Martin consultant. It was comforting to remember how her consultant was more interested in helping her than putting the hard sell on her to buy something she was not ready to purchase. Everywhere else she had visited looking for a simple solution to hair loss had tried to manipulate her into purchasing their products regardless of how sceptical she was of their sales pitch.

Despite how sceptical she was, Chen’s hair improved in quality and density so much with her RealGROWTH^® program that her colleagues started commenting on how good her hair was looking. The 25-year-old lover of history and literature felt a renewed confidence and was pleased with the changes she had seen take place over the five months she had been using her simple, home treatment routine. With her hair now thick, shiny and healthy Chen felt she had managed to avoid the predisposition to hair loss the women in her family often succumbed to later in life.

Life had become increasingly difficult for Lei*. For over a decade she had been struggling to find a hair loss treatment that would do more than simply slow down the shedding. She was grateful for the fact she had not lost more hair, but more than anything she desperately wanted to regrow her hair. The staggering loss that had taken place over the past 20 years had caused Lei to lose her confidence; in turn triggering strain on her relationships at work and home.

For the past ten years Lei had tried every over the counter and hair loss centre product she could find. Looking for a more effective treatment, she approached Ashley and Martin. With her husband along for support, Lei told her consultant that her past attempts at treatment had reduced her hair loss but had not increased the amount of hair she had. She confided that life had been very stressful due to her lack of confidence and although she didn’t mean to, she was taking it out on her husband and children.

Her consultant, empathetic to her situation, explained how Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® program differed from the treatments she had tried before. This difference was what would prompt her dormant hair follicles to produce healthy hair once again. Another thing setting Ashley and Martin’s treatment apart from the rest was that Lei’s treatment would be done under the care of the clinic hair loss doctor. Adding to all of this, before commencing treatment, Lei would have blood tests to check there were no unknown underlying causes for her hair loss.

Lei spoke with both the clinic hair loss doctor and her consultant she was perimenopausal and about her battles with thyroid issues and high blood pressure. Known for their effect of hair loss, Lei’s thyroid problems and entry into menopause were contributing factors to her Ludwig II Female Pattern Hair Loss. Thankfully for Lei, none of these conditions or the medications she was on to control them would preclude her from being able to take part in the RealGROWTH^® program. Excited to begin treatment, Lei signed up immediately.

The transformation Lei saw take place over the first four months of treatment completely astounded her. The first four months of using her RealGROWTH^® program brought more changes than she had experienced in all the years she had tried other treatment options combined. All of her family and friends noticed the improvements, even her hairdresser could see the difference.

With the thicker, healthier hair Lei’s old confidence returned. Her mood and family life soared and she could once again indulge in the things she loved such as travelling and going to the movies without feeling self-conscious.

It was a colleague of Thomas’ that suggested he call Ashley and Martin to see if we could help. And while Thomas was desperate to find a solution to his extremely thin hair, he was sceptical of the entire hair loss industry. He had already tried medical intervention for his hair without results, and he had heard horror stories from other people about different companies promising to give people back their hair without being able to deliver. Twenty-nine-year-old Thomas knew that if he did not find a hair loss solution fast, it would be too late. It had only taken three short years for his hair loss to reach an advanced stage. From his frontal hairline to his crown, his hair was already so thin his scalp could easily be seen; Thomas picked up the phone and called Ashley and Martin as his colleague had suggested.

Dubious that Ashley and Martin could deliver a treatment as effective as his consultant was telling him about, Thomas left his first appointment without signing up for treatment. He wanted time to think it over and make sure he was not going to be wasting his money. It was nice to find that during his consult there was no hard sell and he was able to walk away without a purchase without the consultant trying to convince him to part with his money.

It only took three weeks before Thomas reached the decision to give Ashley and Martin’s medical hair regrowth program a chance. He contacted the clinic and was booked in to speak with the clinic doctor. His medication prescribed, Thomas left with a little more hope than he entered with.

Thomas was consistent with performing the short daily treatment routine at home and attending the clinic for laser therapy appointments. And before too long it was time to assess the progress of his program by taking a new set of photos to compare to the ones taken in his initial appointment. Sitting down with his consultant, they both agreed that there had been a pleasing amount of improvement in the first six months of his program. The excess shedding had ceased and his hair had established a healthy growth pattern. His crown had become substantially denser and the rest of his hair was thicker and healthier than it had been in years.

No longer a sceptic when it came to Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® medical hair regrowth program, Thomas was satisfied with what he was seeing and reassured that he had not wasted his time with a company that was more interested in taking his money than delivering results.

Twenty-three year old Hui Peng had no idea that his hair had started to thin until, as a required part of national service, he had to shave his head. As soon as his hair was shaved close to his scalp, his friends highlighted to him that he was going bald. Hearing this affected his self-esteem and confidence immediately. He wasted no time in speaking to people to find out the best way to treat his hair loss.

At first, Hui Peng tried a Chinese herbal treatment at a reputable hair loss centre. However the manner in which the treatment was performed and the explanation of the process by the staff did not convince him of the efficacy of the treatment. Not convinced he would receive the outcome he was looking for with this course of action, Hui Peng found Ashley and Martin online and decided to give it a try.

At his initial consult, he spoke about the irregularity in his eating and sleeping habit and discussed any medical and family history that may be impacting his hair’s growth cycle. While Hui Peng was in excellent health, his maternal uncles and grandfather had also had their own battles with hair loss.

The consultant explained how the RealGROWTH^® program would be able to treat his Norwood III vertex male pattern hair loss by targeting the cause of his genetic loss as well as working to regrow his hair. Each component of the program was explained, and when Hui Peng was happy with the information he had been given, he signed up for treatment with Ashley and Martin.
At his first appointment, photos had been taken of his hair from every angle. These were to be used to track his progress on the program and given an accurate assessment of the changes taking place. After sixteen weeks on the program, taking his medication faithfully and attending regular laser therapy sessions, Hui Peng was booked in for his first Ashley and Martin progress review.
Hui Peng’s friends had already noticed the changes in his countenance as his hair had started to become full and thick again. And the progress review only served to cement the knowledge Hui Peng already had. His hair was back and he was happy he had not waited until it was too late.
