Rhythm restoration2

  • Synchronizing local blood-flow and sweating rhythms may restore youthful skin heat loss

    Where this hypothesis actsAged skin with misaligned vascular and secretory rhythms despite a preserved central thermoregulatory signal

    What is proposedRestore synchrony between blood flow and sweat secretion pulses

    With whatChange of environment or regimen

    HowTime vascular pulses to coincide with secretion, keeping their integrated intensity constant and leaving mean secretion, mean blood flow and therapy carrier properties unchanged

    Possible resultPossible restoration of heat loss and return of SPV_8 to the young reference range

  • Loss of alternating activation across skin regions may destabilize heat loss

    Where this hypothesis actsNeighbouring skin regions during repeated transitions between humid warmth and dry cool conditions

    What is proposedRestore spatial alternation by staggering activation of neighbouring regions

    With whatPhysical or surgical intervention

    HowUse multizone stimulation with feedback to alternate activation across neighbouring regions while keeping the mean delay unchanged

    Possible resultPossible stabilization of SPV_8 and smaller temperature excursions
