Hair transplantation is an excellent option to add density to areas of thinning and or to restore the hairline in common balding," Wong adds. "However, it isn't suitable for everyone and you would be strongly advised to see a reputable transplant surgeon to explore this option. The German brand was established following a study in 2007 showing that caffeine caused hair follicles to regrow in a laboratory dish, but there is not enough evidence to prove that caffeine works with hair on the scalp.

In early stages of genetic hair loss or thinning, caffeine-containing shampoos may be helpful as a supportive treatment in addition to proven and licensed medical treatments for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil and Propecia[finasteride]," she states.However, be mindful to do your research and choose devices that use medical-grade lasers; many cheaper devices use LEDs which are less effective. Side-effects from caffeine shampoos are minimal, according to Wong, although there may be a low risk of transient scalp irritation if people are sensitive to the caffeine or any of the incipient ingredients contained in the shampoo. Wong says that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) devices, which come as combs or caps for at-home use, are FDA-approved to treat common balding and would be worthwhile trying in the early stages of thinning/hair loss, but are probably best used in conjunction with licensed medical treatments such as finasteride.
