Shane* had been losing his hair for thirteen years by the time he was referred to Ashley and Martin by a friend.  The gradual shedding that had started shortly after he had turned 20 had been so subtle that he had not noticed it at first.  It was seven years before his hair loss had progressed to a stage where it was a prominent and defining feature.  Not one to make too much effort with his appearance, it surprised Shane just how insecure his thinning hair was making him feel.

Concerned about him, a family member urged Shane to contact someone regarding professional intervention.   They knew he had unsuccessfully tried several over the counter remedies in an attempt to restore his hair and was overly self-conscious about the loss.  At his friend’s suggestion Shane called Ashley and Martin.

The consultant he met with diagnosed Shane with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood type II.  Shane’s family history of hair loss and his overall good health supported this diagnosis.  The consultant offered a RealGROWTH^® medical treatment plan to assist Shane to regrow the hair he had lost.  He also cautioned that it may take longer than the usual four months to see a vast increase in density.  With almost a decade and half’s worth of damage to undo, the consultant wanted Shane to be prepared for an increased wait to see his hair return.  Now 33 years old Shane was well and truly ready to treat his hair loss but went home to think it over so as to make a considered decision.

It was only a matter of weeks before Shane called the clinic to book an appointment with the in clinic doctor.  Shortly after commencing his treatment routine Shane noticed the dandruff he had suffered with his whole life had disappeared.   The next time his consultant called to check in with him, he mentioned that this scalp condition had improved.  It surprised him to hear that it was a common occurrence with the topical solution he was using for his hair loss.

After four months Shane attended the first of his Ashley and Martin Reviews.  Looking at his original photos next to the ones just taken, Shane could see the improvement but was hoping for more.  His hair was noticeably thicker, with particular advancement in the frontal hair line.  His consultant reminded him of the extended timeframe for results and Shane left, hopeful to see the expected developments in future progress reviews.

It was with renewed confidence that Shane returned for his twelve month review.  And he was ecstatic with the amount hair he had regained.  Thirteen years damage had been undone in twelve months.
