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.

Lian struggled with the stress of studying overseas away from her family and friends. Even before she had moved to away to continue her studies, Lian’s stress levels had been impacting the health of her hair. For seven long years, Lian’s hair quality had been deteriorating. And at 31-years-old, her sparse, brittle hair and clearly visible scalp made her look older and more tired than she really was. The severe aging effect her hair was having on her appearance had destroyed her self-confidence and for the past three years she had been wishing there were a treatment that could help her.

Her family, concerned to see the vast changes in her appearance, encouraged her to seek professional treatment. The rapid weight loss and declining quality of her hair were painfully obvious when, after a year away, Lian had returned to visit her family. Desperate to solve this problem also, Lian found Ashley and Martin’s online contact form and requested an appointment to discuss the hair loss treatment options available to her.

Confiding in her consultant, Lian admitted she had tried over the counter topical remedies several times in the past seven years. These solutions had not slowed or stopped her hair loss. Since moving overseas to study, Lian was devastated to see her hair quality declining even further. She had found herself under tremendous stress, eating irregular meals, sleeping poorly and she had eventually ended up suffering from anaemia.

Lian’s consultant suggested a RealGROWTH^® medical intervention program supported by laser therapy. Blood tests would be performed by the clinic doctor to ensure Lian’s continued good health. Still to find a job in Singapore, Lian went away to discuss the treatment with her family. Concerned for her wellbeing, Lian’s family supported her undergoing treatment.

And from that moment there was no looking back. For Lian, treatment was the best decision she could have made. It was evident not only to her but to her family and friends that the treatment program Ashley and Martin had supported her in was working. She received compliments on the changes in volume and appearance of her hair. No longer dry and wiry, Lian’s hair had a regained its shine. Areas that had once been sparsely covered now had dense new growth.

Lian’s self-assurance had growth immensely since she first set foot in her consultant’s office. Not only was she now employed, but she had newfound confidence in her appearance thanks to Ashley and Martin.

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.
