Case Study: Disproportionate Shedding After Child Birth Fixed By Ashley and Martin
Jennifer* had no family history of hair loss and enjoyed keeping herself in excellent physical condition. So when she began to lose her hair following the birth of her child, Jennifer was quick to find someone who could help. A month after first noticing the disproportionate shedding she had already researched her options online and booked an appointment with her closest Ashley and Martin clinic.
After conducting a scalp examination, the consultant placed the 31 year old’s hair loss at a level I on the Ludwig Hair Loss Scale. He also asked about any major changes or stressors in Jennifer’s life. Jennifer told him about her new baby and the additional stress it had added to her already stressful life.
The consultant explained to Jennifer that her hair had gone in to a prolonged telogen phase. Caught in its resting phase, the hair cycle needed assistance to re-establish its regular pattern again. With the use of a Low Level Laser Therapy device known as a Laser Cap, some nutritional supplements specially formulated to nourish her hair and specialised shampoo and conditioner the consultant was confident he would be able to help Jennifer regrow her hair.
Wanting to solve the issue before it became plainly visible to other people, Jennifer ordered her Laser Cap and was given her supplements and hygiene products to take home.
Starting off using her cap for five minutes at a time and gradually increasing the time as directed until she reached the optimal treatment time of half an hour, Jennifer consistently used her cap to perform laser therapy at home.
Comparing her initial photos with the ones taken at her six month Ashley and Martin Review, Jennifer could see the improvement that had been made. The regrowth was especially evident through her temporal region. Jennifer was extremely pleased to have saved herself further stress by finding the solution she was looking for so quickly.
