Answers to your questions
After 3 weeks of use, I still haven't noticed any improvement in my hair loss.
In humans, the hair cycle is individual for each hair. Some of your hairs are actively in the growth phase (anagen), while others have entered the resting phase (telogen) at the same time. Hair roots are usually in a growth phase for around 8 years before entering a resting phase of around 5 to 8 months. The hair then falls out. A new growth cycle then begins, which can be repeated 8 to 20 times.
After using the caffeine liquid, it may take some time for the hair roots to recover and transition from the resting phase to a renewed growth phase. Normally, the increased hair loss should decrease noticeably after a period of approx. 3 to 4 months.
After a year of use, my hair has not grown back. Does it not work at all?
The effect of Alpecin Caffeine Liquid targets hair roots that are still alive. The Caffeine complex strengthens existing but already weakened hair and hair roots. However, it is not a hair restoration product.
Is it possible to overdose on Alpecin by applying the liquid multiple times in a single day?
No, the Caffeine in Alpecin Caffeine Liquid is absorbed through the hair canal and scalp in just the right amount, making it completely safe even for individuals sensitive to Caffeine. Additionally, since the active ingredient is applied directly to the scalp, the amount that enters the rest of the body is minimal and negligible.
