    GlossaryAngiogenic

    process of forming new blood vessels from existing ones

    Angiogenic refers to the process by which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones. This is crucial for wound healing and the growth of tissues, including hair follicles. In the context of hair and alopecia, promoting angiogenesis can improve blood supply to the scalp, potentially aiding in hair growth and the treatment of hair loss conditions.
