Hiussuonisto

Hiussuonisto refers to the network of tiny blood vessels, capillaries, that are found within hair follicles. These capillaries are essential for the health and growth of hair. They supply the dermal papilla, a small, cone-shaped structure at the base of the hair follicle, with nutrients and oxygen. The dermal papilla plays a crucial role in hair development, signaling the cells in the hair matrix to divide and form the hair shaft.

The blood supply provided by the hiussuonisto is vital for the continuous cycle of hair growth, which includes the anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting) phases. When the hiussuonisto is functioning optimally, it ensures that the hair follicle receives adequate nourishment, promoting strong and healthy hair growth. Conversely, any disruption or impairment to the hiussuonisto can negatively impact hair health, potentially leading to thinning hair or even hair loss. Factors such as poor circulation, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions can affect the hiussuonisto. Maintaining good overall health and a balanced diet can contribute to the well-being of the hiussuonisto and, consequently, the health of the hair.
