What are caffeine topicals?
Caffeine topicals are hair care products infused with caffeine, believed to stimulate hair follicles and counteract the effects of DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss.
These formulations aim to increase blood circulation and energize hair roots, potentially extending the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
When used alongside red light therapy, caffeine topicals may enhance results by promoting follicular energy metabolism through multiple mechanisms.
