Paul’s* hair had been steadily falling out for the last 2 years.  His temples had receded substantially and he was developing a sizable area on his crown that had a very sparse coverage of hair. A year and a half after beginning to notice his hair fall out, Paul contacted Ashley and Martin.

Paul’s grandfather and uncle had both lost their hair and Paul had assumed that losing his hair was in his genes.  The consultant asked Paul about hair loss in his family, and then surprised him by discussing lifestyle choices.  The stress associated with working in a high pressure job was something Paul had not considered could exacerbate his genetic condition.  The stress in addition with his smoking were both factors contributing to the rate of Paul’s hair loss.  The consultant diagnosed Paul with Male Pattern Hair Loss, Norwood III vertex.  Photos were taken of Paul’s hair loss for future comparison purposes.  If Paul chose to go ahead with treatment he would be able to view post treatment photos against these to assess if the treatment was working well.  If he chose not to go ahead with treatment he would be able to come back for another free appointment to assess the rate at which he was losing his hair.

The consultant explained the hair loss cycle to Paul, pointing out the role of Dihydrotestosterone in genetic hair loss.  He also explained in detail the way the proposed treatment plan would combat his condition leading to a slowing and eventual halt in hair fall and the regrowth of the hair Paul had already lost.  Paul had come in concerned about the way his hair loss had changed his appearance and after speaking to his consultant he could see a way to reverse the damage.

Paul signed up for a RealGROWTH^® program.   He took his medication as directed and attended the clinic for regular Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) treatments.  Sixteen weeks later, while in the clinic for his LLLT treatment, Paul saw his consultant for a progress check-up.  There was no denying the success of his program when looking at his earlier photos compared to the new ones.  Paul was extremely happy with the early results of his RealGROWTH^® program.
