Mode of action

DMG promotes the micro-blood-circulation of the scalp

Hair loss* is effectively reduced.

Micro-blood-circulation: The foundation for healthy hair growth

In areas affected by hair loss, this is reduced to below 40 %.

This is where DMG comes in:
Its mode of action, comparable to Minoxidil, ensures improved micro-blood-circulation and the hair roots are once again supplied with nutrients.

Additionally, caffeine stimulates the hair root

Caffeine has been known for over 20 years for its growth-stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. As a result, more energy is available to the cells and cell growth is stimulated.

Caffeine is thus the most researched active ingredient of plant origin against hereditary hair loss.

Caffeine + DMG: Even more effective when combined

Individually, caffeine and DMG are already highly potent active ingredients. In Alpecin's unique, patent-pending active complex, they are now even more powerful.

The result: Hereditary hair loss is now effectively reduced and hair growth** can be increased.

The new Caffeine DMG Serum is Alpecin's strongest product against hair loss.ESzW

Measurement method

First-time evaluation of more than 100,000 individual hairs

In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, Dr. Wolff Research has now taken a systemic approach to hair loss* and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the human scalp.

Whereas previous studies examined areas with only around 300 hairs, our new method, which evaluates more than 10,000 hairs per head, provides precise results:

The combination of caffeine and DMG can effectively reduce hair loss*. And in some cases, new hair growth** was even observed.

Clinical study

Hair loss* was reduced in 94% of participants

Double-blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled study:

The graph shows the results of the hair pull test over time, comparing "Caffeine + DMG" with "Placebo." The test group decreases, while the control group increases. The X-axis marks the days, and the Y-axis shows the mean values with confidence intervals.

The clinical study was conducted on 154 men with hereditary hair loss. These men used either the new Caffeine DMG Serum (verum) or a placebo serum over a period of 6 months.

Hair growth** can be increased

The analysis of the study subgroup showed a significant increase in hair growth**:

Three close-up shots of skin show hair growth at intervals: "Day 0," "Day 84," and "Day 168." Each image displays different hair density on a similar skin surface.
