Did you mean Vascularity?

GlossaryVascularity

indicates visibility and prominence of blood vessels in tissue

Vascularity refers to the degree to which blood vessels are visible and prominent in a particular area of the body. It is often used to describe the appearance of veins under the skin, which can become more noticeable with increased blood flow, reduced body fat, or enhanced muscle definition. In a medical context, good vascularity can indicate healthy circulation, while poor vascularity might suggest issues with blood flow or vascular health.

community Is it possible to have low scalp vascularity??

in Treatment 3 upvotes 2 years ago

The user is using topical dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin but seeing no results or side effects. They also microneedle every two weeks but experience little bleeding, questioning if a thick scalp is preventing treatment effectiveness.

community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)

in Research 86 upvotes 1 year ago

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.

community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).

in Research/Science 38 upvotes 1 year ago

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
