Mode of action: Patented formula: DMG + Caffeine

DMG activates the growth cells of the hair root and promotes microcirculation of the scalp, thereby improving hair growth.

Microcirculation: The basis of healthy hair growth

DMG reduces areas affected by hair loss to less than 40%.

This is where DMG comes in:
Its mode of action is to ensure adequate nutrient supply for healthy growth at the hair root.

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: An effective combination

Individually, both caffeine and DMG are highly potent active ingredients. Together, they now form Alpecin's newly patented formula for stronger hair and is proven to be even more effective.

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: New scientific study evaluates more than 10,000 individual hairs for the first time

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, a new comprehensive analysis of the human scalp was conducted by Dr. Wolff Research.

While previous studies examined areas with only 300 hairs, a new method was developed to evaluate more than 10,000 hairs per head, providing more precise results.

This reflects the effective combination of caffeine and DMG in reducing hair loss*. New hair growth** was also observed in several test results.

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.
