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, patented 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.

Measurement method: First-time evaluation of more than 10,000 individual hairs

Focus on a screen showing a close-up of hair to highlight that Dr. Wolff, together with the Fraunhofer Institute, has developed a new method to analyse hereditary hair loss in men.

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

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.

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

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

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.
