Glossary Blood Vessel Damage

harm to arteries, veins, or capillaries affecting blood circulation

Blood Vessel Damage, also known as Vascular Damage or Vascular Injury, refers to harm inflicted on the blood vessels, which are the arteries, veins, and capillaries that circulate blood throughout the body. This damage can result from physical trauma, medical conditions like hypertension or diabetes, or inflammatory diseases. It can lead to complications such as impaired blood flow, tissue damage, and increased risk of conditions like stroke or heart attack.

community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?

in Minoxidil 101 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.

community A Study I came along by mistake researching (Dutasteride +Pumpkin seed oil ) for every other day use.

16 upvotes 3 months ago

Alternating Dutasteride with pumpkin seed oil may protect the spleen from damage caused by Dutasteride. Pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress and immune suppression.

community Any concrete cases of people who were told they couldn't have a transplant because of microneedling?

in Hair Systems 26 upvotes 2 years ago

Microneedling before a hair transplant may harden the scalp and affect blood circulation, potentially impacting graft growth. Some users report successful transplants after microneedling, while others advise caution and consulting with a surgeon.

community Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss

314 upvotes 2 years ago

A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.

community Took a medication called pilocarpine, and cannot oral minoxidil anymore which I’ve taken for several years with no issue

in Treatment 4 upvotes 3 weeks ago

OP experienced heart issues after taking pilocarpine, which they believe interacted negatively with oral minoxidil, leading to hair loss. They stopped pilocarpine but can no longer use oral minoxidil.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.

learn capsicum

How does capsicum improve scalp circulation and boost growth? Capsaicin dilates blood vessels through TRPV1 activation, so capsicum is expected to raise scalp blood flow, but every human hair-loss study used it inside a multi-ingredient formula — and the strongest one gave it orally, not on the scalp — so its effect on hair by itself is unproven, and it is a known skin irritant.

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
