Practicing doctor, scientific head

Dr. Loeffler is the scientific director at AgeLine® and a renowned researcher in medicine, biology and biochemistry. His publications and lectures in the field of preventive and mitochondrial medicine are the basis of innovative treatment methods for various diseases, including metabolic disorder and related skin diseases. After 9 years of research at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine, Dr. Loeffler spent 16 years in research at a leading pharmaceutical company and played a leading role in the development of new medicines.

In 2005 he founded his first institute with a medical practice in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Since then, his patients kept asking not only how to live a longer and healthier life, but also how to keep a youthful appearance. This inspired Dr. Loeffler to create AgeLine®. Today Dr. Loeffler´s Institute for Mitochondrial Medicine takes a holistic approach in the anti-aging area and specializes in preventively decelerating the aging process, as well as increasing physical well-being, inner balance and external attractiveness.
