Did you mean Vascularity?

Glossary Vascularity

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.

community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community My 6 month journey thus far... 47yo Male.

421 upvotes 10 months ago

A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair regrowth over six months using 1mg oral finasteride, 5mg oral minoxidil, and 1ml 5% topical minoxidil, along with weekly derm stamping. He reported no major side effects, improved prostate health, and increased vascularity, with hair texture changes and minor nasal congestion.
