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.
