Alma TED Hair Restoration

What Is Alma TED®?

Alma TED® (TransEpidermal Delivery) is an FDA-cleared treatment that combines ultrasound energy and air pressure to drive growth factors and peptides deep into the scalp — without injections or incisions. This innovative approach nourishes hair follicles at the root, supporting stronger, thicker, and healthier hair growth.

Unlike PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or microneedling-based treatments, Alma TED® is completely needle-free and pain-free, making it an excellent option for patients who want results without discomfort.

Benefits of Alma TED® Hair Restoration

  • Stimulates hair follicles for natural regrowth
  • Thickens existing hair strands for improved density
  • Improves scalp health and circulation
  • Comfortable, needle-free, and painless treatment
  • No downtime — resume normal activities right away
  • Effective for both men and women experiencing hair thinning
  • Suitable for multiple areas, including hairline, crown, and overall scalp coverage

Our providers will assess your hair and scalp to create a customized treatment plan designed for your goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Consultation – We begin with a scalp and hair evaluation to determine if Alma TED® is the right fit.
  2. Treatment Session – A handheld Alma TED® device uses ultrasound energy and air pressure to deliver growth factors into the scalp. Most patients describe the feeling as a warm vibration or gentle scalp massage.
  3. Duration – Each session lasts about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
  4. Aftercare – No needles, no discomfort, and no downtime. Patients return to work, the gym, or daily activities immediately after.

For best results, a series of three treatments spaced one month apart is typically recommended, with maintenance sessions as needed.
