learn Centella

Can centella improve scalp blood flow and thicken hair? What the evidence says There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Can products that stimulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) improve blood flow to hair follicles? Unproven. Raising VEGF increases vessels around follicles in mice and minoxidil raises VEGF in cultured cells, but no study shows VEGF-marketed products improve scalp blood flow or hair loss in people.
