What is the central question of this study? It is valuable to be able to monitor disease‐ or treatment‐related changes in the microcirculation. Laser Doppler flowmetry with local heating allows non‐invasive monitoring of the skin microcirculation and its ability to vasodilate. Does reactive hyperaemia augment the increase in skin blood flow elicited by local heating? What is the main finding and its importance? The addition of reactive hyperaemia to local heating results in greater vasodilatation than heating alone. Thus, reactive hyperaemia can augment local heat‐induced hyperaemia in the skin.
