Case Study 16 – Combined Medical and Laser Treatment Create Best Results for Ashley and Martin Patient
Florence* was hesitant to make the call to Ashley and Martin, unsure if her current situation warranted medical intervention. At forty-seven years old her hair was becoming sparse and her part line widening. Florence attended an appointment with a Hair Loss Consultant to discuss her options and find out how her hair loss might progress.
Diagnosed with Female Pattern Hair Loss, commonly known as Androgenic Alopecia, and Telogen Effluvium, Florence went away to consider her options. She waited over 10 months before returning to see her consultant again. Concerned her hair loss was getting worse Florence felt the time had come to seek treatment; she had no other choice but to live with poor hair coverage if she did not.
Her consultant understood her hesitation to proceed with treatment and discussed both medicinal and non-medicinal options with Florence. He recommended one of two courses of action, she could purchase a laser cap to use in her own home to stimulate hair regrowth or, for optimum results, engage in a full RealGROWTH® medications plan including laser treatments. Still unsure about accepting medical intervention for her hair loss Florence opted to treat her androgenic alopecia with the in-home laser device.
With a slower regrowth rate than a medications plan, Florence returned to the clinic to have progress photos taken 8 months after purchasing her laser cap. Looking at her photos side by side Florence could see her hair density had increased significantly and although she would have liked a faster result, understood that to achieve this she would need to combine medical treatment with regular laser treatments.
