Hair thinning or hair loss can be frustrating or even downright stressful. It is a challenge that no one asks for, and one that can be made more difficult if one is leery of needles, surgery, or oral medications. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could regrow hair without any of these?
Whatever your tolerance for medical procedures, a new treatment called Alma TED® offers a pain-free hair growth option with no needles, no surgery, no pills, and no downtime.
What Is Alma TED Hair Treatment?
Alma TED® (short for TransEpidermal Delivery) is a non-invasive treatment for androgenic alopecia and other forms of hair loss. Alma TED® uses sound waves to deliver a hair growth solution deep into the scalp. The process promotes hair growth and improves hair’s appearance, thickness, and strength. While the procedure has only been available in the U.S. for several years, patients report extremely high satisfaction levels with their results.
Alma TED® is appropriate for both men and women who are in the early-to-moderate stages of hair loss. Those considering the procedure should be in generally good health and should avoid steroid treatments before undergoing Alma TED®.
How Does Alma TED Work?
When you choose Alma TED®, the first step in the process is a full assessment of your hair, scalp, and hair loss patterns. This allows us to customize the treatment for your specific needs.
At the beginning of an Alma TED® session, the scalp is cleansed and prepared for the procedure. Once the scalp is ready, a trained technician maneuvers a wand attached to the Alma TED device. The wand uses ultrasound waves coupled with air pressure to make microchannels in the skin of the scalp. Once the microchannels are created, the hair growth solution is massaged into the scalp. This solution contains peptides, growth factors, and nutrients that promote scalp health and hair growth.
There is no pain or discomfort associated with Alma TED®. Many individuals feel a warm, vibrating sensation that is often described as pleasant or relaxing.
There is no downtime after an Alma TED® procedure, and you can resume most daily activities immediately. You will begin to see gradual improvements in hair thickness and appearance within several weeks, with maximum benefits around the 4–6-month mark. Most individuals require 3-4 sessions, spaced approximately a month apart, with less frequent maintenance treatments after that.
Is Alma TED Better Than PRP?
When comparing Alma TED® vs PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), so much depends on personal preferences and hair growth goals. Alma TED® may be preferable for those with low pain tolerance, a fear of needles, or who prefer a shorter procedure. PRP may be a better option for those with more advanced hair loss, prefer a more natural treatment, or simply wish to choose a procedure with a longer, well-documented history of success. At your initial consultation, we will further explain the advantages of each procedure. That way, you can make an informed choice about the treatment that is most appropriate for you.
Is Alma TED FDA-approved?
Yes, Alma TED® is an FDA-approved Class 1 device. This means that it has been thoroughly vetted by the FDA and found to have a very low risk to the patient. Alma TED® was developed by the Alma Lasers company and was launched in the United States in 2022. It has enjoyed a great deal of success since that time, and the number of procedures performed grows monthly.
