At 32 Alavi did not want to be the same as all the men in his family; bald. His grandfather, father, uncles and brother all suffered from hair loss. Alavi was a settled family man but that didn’t mean he had to fit a particular stereo type. After all his efforts and wasted money on over the counter hair growth tonics, Alavi took to the internet. A simple google search led him to the Ashley and Martin website where he filled out an online enquiry form.

The consultant examined Alavi’s hair, informing him that he still had healthy follicles that would respond to medical treatment. Healthy, with no impacting health issues a diagnosis of male pattern hair loss, Norwood III vertex, was given.

After ascertaining the cause of hair loss the consultant discussed the products in detail that would be used to regrow hair at the hairline, temples and on the crown. Alavi had suffered substantial hair loss at the temples but clear projected results from the consultant enabled Alavi to make an informed decision. Pleased with the transparent advice he had been given and comfortable this was the right treatment option for him, Alavi signed up for the recommended RealGROWTH^® medical program on the day.

It was four months before Alavi saw his consultant again. Looking at the second set of photographs the consultant had taken Alavi was surprised at the improvements he could see. He had not been regular with his medication for two reasons, an overseas holiday and a period of family planning. However, this had not impacted the regrowth as Alavi had expected. He could see hair was now filling the once sparse areas; he was breaking the cycle of balding men in his family.  Alavi was now more determined than ever to ensure he was regular with his medications and can’t wait for the next checkup.

Ian* was panicked, he’d always had a good head of hair but this had changed over the last four months. It was now extremely sparse and brittle. He was experiencing dramatic hair loss and what he had left appeared to be changing colour. It was a very distressing experience for Ian; he had gone through such aggressive loss of hair density in a short space of time. Speaking to friends and family they urged Ian to approach Ashley and Martin, due to their impressive reputation.

Even though he had been considering treatment for the last two months Ian told his consultant he has not tried any other hair loss solutions. He didn’t have time to try and test, the hair loss had been so rapid Ian was concerned there was nothing that could be done to reverse it. Ian’s father had suffered with baldness; at 55 he was expecting it to happen to him just not so severely so quickly.

After conducting a scalp examination Ian’s consultant confirmed that his hair loss was genetic and discussed the RealGROWTH^® program suitable for his age. Ian would need to apply a topical solution to his scalp daily and attend regular low light laser therapy in the clinic. In order to optimize his results Ian purchased a LaserPro Plus^® to carry out the laser therapy sessions in the comfort of his own home, ensuring there was nothing to get in the way of his treatment.

After performing the in-home treatments for three months, Ian met with his consultant again for his first Ashley and Martin review. Ian was beaming; the regrowth had been amazing, he now had an even covering of hair all over his scalp. The colour was even turning back to blonde. Ian’s confidence was soaring and the panic that had set in had vanished.

Sadashiva* took care of his body and worked hard to treat it well. After moving to Singapore for work, the 25 year old vegetarian noticed his hair loss begin to accelerate. Unsure if it was the change of work and living environments or something he should worry about, Sadashiva came to Ashley and Martin.

In his first conversation with his hair loss specialist, Sadashiva confided that he was feeling insecure about the way he looked and he had tried treating his hair loss with herbal products already. This had had no effect for him and his hair density had continued to decline over the past three years. Sadashiva told his consultant that he did not want to go bald like so many men in his family had already done. His father, uncle and grandfather had already succumbed to the genetic predisposition to hair loss in his family.

After a scalp examination and further discussion on what Sadishiva could expect to achieve by treating his hair, his consultant offered him what she believed to be the best hair loss treatment available for his Norwood level IV loss. Ashley and Martin’s RealGROWTH^® medical hair regrowth program would help slow Sadishiva’s shedding hair to a healthy rate and then begin to regrow his hair. Treating his hair was something he had wanted to do ever since it had first started and now that he had found a solution, Sadashiva signed up straight away.

Four months after he began his RealGROWTH^® program, Sadashiva was in the process of regaining his confidence. He was feeling better with every passing week as his hair gradually regrew and with his wedding on the horizon he was beginning to see himself able to stand confidently in front of family and friends as he married the woman he loved.

Both Ryan’s* father and grandfather had lost their hair. So when Ryan’s own hair began shedding at a higher than normal rate he knew what was in store for him if he did not act fast. After finding Ashley and Martin on the internet and using the online enquiry form to request a call, Ryan attended his initial appointment alone.

He told his consultant that in the two or three years that he had been losing his hair he had tried other medical interventions. It was frustrating and disappointing that none of them had stopped his hair from falling out. The consultant examined the slight recession in Ryan’s hair line and the thinning he was experiencing at the crown and agreed that his hair loss was genetically inherited. The stress involved with his long term relationship ending recently had exacerbated the issue and prompted him to come to Ashley and Martin.

A RealGROWTH^® medical hair regrowth program was offered to Ryan as the best course of action to regrow his hair. After learning everything involved with the program and hearing the support he would be given, Ryan signed up immediately.

Ryan’s medical treatment was supported by laser therapy and he attended the clinic regularly for these appointments. He was contacted at key points in his treatment and he spoke regularly to staff in the clinic. After four months he attended an Ashley and Martin Review in which new photos of his hair were taken from different angles. These were then put up on the computer to compare to the ones that had been taken in his initial consultation.

The 30 year old was thrilled with the results he was seeing. His Norwood III vertex hair loss was being reversed faster than he could have hoped for. People had been commenting that his hair had never looked so good and he was glad that he was doing something about it rather than letting his genetics take charge of the situation.
