Bolin* had tried everything. Every herbal treatment. Every home remedy. But nothing he had found on YouTube had stopped his hair from falling out. Searching further afield, the 26-year-old travel enthusiast found hope on Singapore’s Ashley and Martin website. Filled with before and after photos showing real life results and findings from independent review, Bolin decided to at least discuss medical hair loss treatment before he lost any more hair.

Discussing all the factors that could be leading to the rapid deterioration of Bolin’s hair, the consultant found that although he did not have any known family history of hair loss, he was under a great deal of stress. He also suffered from a skin condition. And while this form of dermatitis did not directly contribute to hair loss, the frequent scratching had been known to damage hair follicles and affect their growth cycle.

Coming into the appointment, Bolin had been reluctant to use medication to solve his hair loss problem. However, after the consultation he felt confident that this approach was both safe and effective. And having been concerned about his appearance and looking for a hair loss solution for three years, he decided to give it a try straight away.

It was astounding to see the difference his medical hair loss treatment made to his Norwood III vertex loss in a short space of time. Especially considering how disappointed he had been in the lack of results from the expensive and time-consuming herbal treatments he had used before. Even his irregular laser therapy attendance had not stopped his hair from growing back thicker and healthier than it had been before. Friends and family members not only commented on how good his hair was looking, but on the improvement in his countenance. Thrilled he had overcome his initial hesitation and tried medial hair regrowth, he could understand why he had seen so much positive feedback for Ashley and Martin on Google.

As a flight attendant in his early thirties, Ramesh* had to look and feel his best on every shift. In past years this hadn’t been a problem but, more recently, he had started to lose confidence. It wasn’t just Ramesh who had noticed, his family had also remarked on his hair loss – it was a family trait passed down on his father’s side and he was conscious that he was heading down the same hair loss path.

It didn’t help that his line of work meant irregular sleep patterns with on the job stresses and variable shift patterns in the air…all factors, which he felt, were contributing to his recently accelerated hair loss.

In an attempt to regrow his hair, Ramesh had tried over the counter remedies and treatments but none had given him the results that he was hoping for.

That’s when he turned to Ashley and Martin hair loss specialists. After making an online enquiry, Ramesh attended the clinic and was met by an understanding and helpful professional. He was not surprised when he was diagnosed with Male Pattern Baldness – level IV on the Norwood scale – and enrolled for treatment straight away.

His consultant recommended the Ashley and martin twelve month RealGROWTH^® program with DHT inhibitors (to decelerate the rapid shedding) and laser treatment to encourage new growth. At his four month review, Ramesh was thankful and relieved by the early results. He could already see that his frontal hair line had started to cover over with a healthy, dense cover of freshly grown hair and his family – who had pointed out his hair loss – were now commenting on the increase in hair volume that he was experiencing.

His confidence was back…and just in time. With a new job assignment in a new working environment, Ramesh once again, felt confident in his appearance – he was ready to start this new chapter with a full head of hair and a self-assured stride in his step.

At 31 years old, Roland* had started to notice that he was losing his hair. In the last three months he had tried various over-the-counter medications to try and halt the shedding but nothing was stopping the hair fall.  Concerned about his sudden hair loss and believing that he was way too young to be losing so much hair, he did some research on the internet and found an Ashley and Martin medical hair loss clinic and booked in for his free consultation.

At the clinic, Roland chatted to his friendly consultant about recent events and how they might be affecting his health. He had arrived in Singapore six months ago to complete his PHD and believed that a combination of things – demanding studies, irregular sleep, poor diet and new environment – were all contributing to his hair loss. He told his consultant that here was no genetic hair loss in his family and his dad had a full head of hair well into his 60s. He had tried to fix the problem by self medicating and adjusting his routine but nothing had worked. On top of all of that, the stress of actually losing his hair was contributing to the stresses he already felt through his studies in a never ending cycle of feeling stressed out.

Roland’s consultant took the time to listen to his concerns and performed a thorough scalp examination. She diagnosed Roland with Male Pattern Baldness – Norwood level III vertex. She could see that his vertex was the worst affected area and talked Roland through the proposed treatment plan. She prescribed the Ashley and Martin 12 month RealGROWTH^® treatment plan with low level laser therapy and DHT inhibitors. She further reassured Roland by explaining that his was a clinically proven regrowth program with a 98% chance of success. The treatment would stimulate Roland’s dormant follicles to regenerate his own hair and, because he had addressed the problem quickly, she was confident that he would be able to achieve some pleasing results.

At his four month progress review Roland could already see those ‘pleasing results’ and knew that the treatment plan was working. Just knowing that his hair was re-growing had already alleviated much of his stress which, in turn, placed him in a better frame of mind for ongoing effective treatment. He felt much happier about his appearance, giving him the boost in confidence he needed to continue his studies and adjust to his new life in Singapore.

It was particularly distressing to Liu Wei* that his hair loss had reached such an advanced stage. Since graduating from university in Singapore he had noticed the rate of shedding was only increasing. Liu Wei had tried using both medical and over the counter solutions to hair loss, but his hair only continued to get thinner. No tonic or medicine had given him the significant hair growth or confidence boost he was looking for. Hair loss was not unheard of in his family, his father had lost his hair as well. But unlike 25-year—old Liu Wei, his father was in his fifties when he started losing hair. Among all the other men in his family who had suffered from hair loss, only one had lost their hair so young.

After confiding in a good friend of his who was also suffering from hair loss, the two young men decided to do some research into hair loss solutions online. Liu Wei called Ashley and Martin for an appointment and together, he and his friend sought help.

At his initial appointment, Liu Wei was diagnosed with male pattern hair loss, Norwood stage V. Photos were taken of his hair from several different angles and the benefits of a medical hair loss treatment program discussed. Eager to start a treatment program that would address the root cause of his hair loss as well as regrow hair, Liu Wei signed up for treatment then and there.

With regular laser therapy treatments and daily use of his RealGROWTH^® treatment products, Liu Wei’s hair stopped shedding so fast and began to grow back. As his hair returned, his confidence grew. Liu Wei’s confidence grew in both his personal and professional lives and he did not feel uncomfortable meeting new people anymore.

Looking at photos taken in his first Ashley and Martin review appointment, Liu Wei was extremely happy he had started the treatment without delay. The results he had gained had far exceeded his expectations. So much so that he asked for copies of his before and after photos to send back home to his family. Upon seeing his photos, Liu Wei’s family were thrilled for him and completely amazed at the difference such a simple treatment had made to him.
