Did you mean Perifollicular Vascularization?

Glossary Perifollicular Vascularization

Perifollicular vascularization refers to the network of blood vessels surrounding hair follicles, which plays a crucial role in supplying nutrients and oxygen necessary for hair growth and maintenance. This vascularization is significant in the context of hair loss, as inadequate blood flow can lead to weakened hair follicles and contribute to conditions such as androgenetic alopecia. Key distinguishing characteristics include the density and health of the blood vessels, which can be influenced by factors such as age, hormonal changes, and overall scalp health. Enhanced perifollicular vascularization is often associated with improved hair growth and recovery from hair loss.

Poor Perifollicular Vascularization Is Associated With Nutrient Insufficiency and a Quiescent Metabolic Phenotype in Intermediate Hair Follicles From Patients With Female Pattern Hair Loss

research 333 Poor perifollicular vascularization is associated with nutrient insufficiency and a quiescent metabolic phenotype in intermediate hair follicles from patients with female pattern hair loss

October 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, the researchers found that scalp hair follicles affected by female pattern hair loss are poorly vascularized, likely affecting nutrient delivery, but capable of nutrient uptake when supplemented.

research Vascularization of skin substitute constructed by vascular endothelial growth factor 165 gene-modified hair follicle stem cells compounded with three-dimensional gelatin-chondroitin sulfate-hyaluronic acid

June 2014

This study found that a modified scaffold with VEGF165 genetically modified hair follicle stem cells significantly promoted blood vessel growth and wound healing in rats, suggesting its potential as a skin substitute in clinical settings.

research Paracrine crosstalk between human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and microvascular endothelial cells

35 citations , February 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that human follicle dermal papilla cells promote survival, proliferation, and tubulogenesis of microvascular endothelial cells, highlighting their significant role in hair follicle vascular remodeling.

research Vascular endothelial cells: Targets for studying the activity of hair follicle cell-produced VEGF

9 citations , December 1996 in “Cell Biology and Toxicology”

This study found that conditioned medium from hair dermal papilla cells stimulated fetal bovine aortic endothelial cell growth and migration, suggesting VEGF-like activity in the medium.

Effects of the Biomimetic Peptide Sh-Polypeptide 9 (CG-VEGF) on Cocultures of Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells and Microvascular Endothelial Cells

research Effects of the biomimetic peptide Sh-Polypeptide 9 (CG-VEGF) on cocultures of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and microvascular endothelial cells

7 citations , December 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”

The study found that Sh-Polypeptide 9, a biomimetic peptide, enhances endothelial tubulogenesis and VEGF production more effectively than minoxidil, particularly at low concentrations, suggesting potential for hair follicle vascularization.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

community BPC-157 and Angiogenesis. Bro-Science-Execution-Plan

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

BPC-157 may promote hair growth by increasing angiogenesis, similar to how Minoxidil works, though no direct research confirms this yet. Users report combining BPC-157 with Minoxidil and finasteride for better results, but concerns about long-term safety exist.

community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

292 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

community Beyond Minoxidil & Finasteride: What if the Answer to Male Pattern Baldness is... on Our Faces? (A Naval Officer's Wild Idea & Why It's Not So Crazy)

10 months ago

Exploring the idea of using facial hair properties for scalp regeneration in male pattern baldness, considering the potential of transferring androgen-resistant characteristics from facial hair to the scalp. Challenges include complexity, scalability, aesthetics, and safety, but the concept encourages innovative thinking beyond current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants.
