Case Study: Ashley and Martin Assist Client to Regrow Hair After Twelve Years of Loss
Harriet’s* hair had not been in a healthy state for almost twelve years. While not dry and damaged, Harriet’s hair had thinned out greatly. For quite some time she had been noticing excess hair in the shower plug after shampooing. At first it had not occurred to her to seek treatment, but over the last five years it had begun to cross her mind more and more frequently. After seeing an ad for Ashley and Martin on the television, Harriet called to make an appointment for her free consultation.
The consultant listened to how Harriet’s mother and aunts had all ended up with thin hair in the same manner as her. Her father and uncles had all gone bald also. And while Harriet had a long list of medical issues currently impacting her health, none of them raised red flags in regards to contraindications for the medication the consultant believed would assist Harriet to regrow her hair.
In the past, 56 year old Harriet had tried an over the counter medicated solution. But when she saw no results after a month she discontinued use. Her consultant explained how the hair’s growth cycle worked and that she would need to persist with any treatment for at least four months to see visible improvements.
With her hair having taken a serious turn for the worst after going through menopause, Harriet was anxious to begin treatment. Blood tests were ordered to rule out any underlying medical issues for the hair loss. The tests highlighted elevated glucose levels which the clinic doctor advised her to discuss with her own GP. With no other issues impacting treatment, Harriet was able to start straight away.
A dietary supplement was given to support the nutritional deficit that was identified by her blood tests as well as a topical solution, anti-androgens and the recommendation for fortnightly laser therapy appointments.
After four months on the treatment program an Ashley and Martin Review was conducted. Both Harriet and her consultant were pleased with the progress she was making. However, it was after six months that Harriet became overjoyed with the success of her program.
