Alma TED hair treatment is a painless and non-invasive hair restoration treatment for men experiencing hair thinning, hair shedding, or hair loss due to any cause. Also known as transepidermal delivery (TED), it has gained attention for its impressive results.
At HT&RC, we offer Alma TED as part of a personalized approach to hair restoration.
What is the Alma TED Treatment for Hair Growth?
Alma TED hair restoration treatment is a cutting-edge procedure that utilizes acoustic sound waves, low-frequency ultrasound, and air pressure to transport hair signal molecules deep into the scalp (about 4 mm) without the need for needles or surgery. This needle-free and pain-free technique promotes hair restoration.
How Can Sound Waves Help Hair Growth?
Alma TED employs low-frequency ultrasound and acoustic sound waves to enhance hair growth. These sound waves create tiny, transient gaseous bubbles in the outermost skin layer (stratum corneum), breaking down the barrier and allowing the delivery of medications. The mechanical pressure from the sound waves also aids in pushing compounds through the skin's temporary access.
The handpiece used in Alma TED hair treatment is unique, featuring patented technology that uses air pressure to maximize the effectiveness of the topical medication during the treatment.
Through the Alma TED, or "TransEpidermal Delivery," process, topical hair growth treatments can penetrate the skin's top layer, delivering active ingredients to the hair follicles.
The Alma TED Hair Care Formula is an exclusive product developed in collaboration with a leading pharmaceutical company. It contains essential nutrients, such as protein growth factors, peptides, and amino acids, promoting hair growth and scalp health.
This treatment involves three office visits spaced about one month apart. After the initial series is complete, maintenance treatments may be recommended based on your physician’s guidance.
Please note that Alma TED cannot restore hair once it has reached complete baldness. Existing hair is required for the treatment to improve its length and quality.
What Should I Expect During and After My Alma TED Hair Treatment?
Alma TED is a 100% needle-free and painless procedure. The steps are:
- Book a confidential consultation to discuss your hair loss pattern, causes, and suitability for Alma TED.
- Visit the clinic with a clean and dry scalp to prime the scalp before treatment.
- Application of the vibrating Alma TED handpiece to the skin, creating a warm sensation and a mild buzzing feeling, and opening the top layer of skin cells.
- Application of the TED+ Hair Care Formula to the treatment area.
- Reapplication of the vibrating Alma TED handpiece to the same area, using air pressure to drive the hair growth solution into the skin to stimulate the hair follicles.
Your hair may be slightly damp after the procedure, and many patients find the treatment soothing and enjoyable. Follow the recommended scalp care instructions after the procedure for desirable results.

There is no downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment. It's important to come to the appointment with a clean, dry scalp and avoid coloring your hair two-three days before and after the treatment. You can wash your hair the morning after the treatment.
6 Potential Benefits of Alma TED Hair Treatment
Alma TED hair restoration treatment can offer many potential benefits for candidates refraining from surgical hair treatments. Key advantages of this treatment type are:
- Non-invasive and needle-free treatment
- Anesthesia is not a requirement
- No downtime after the procedure
- May help reduce hair shedding or loss
- May improve hair quality and support hair growth
- Can be used in combination with other hair restoration treatments
Who is the Right Candidate for the Alma TED Hair Treatment?
The Alma TED treatment is suitable for those experiencing hair shedding or loss for multiple reasons. You should consider it if you experience:
- Genetic/hereditary hair thinning
- Hair shedding
- Hair loss due to chronic stress
- Reduction in hair density due to illness like COVID
- Hair loss following recent surgery
- Hair loss following weight loss, notably from a GLP-1 medication
When Do You See Results and How Often Do You Have to Do It?
While some improvement may be noticeable after one treatment, a series of at least three Alma TED treatments, around one month apart, is recommended for optimal results. These improvements include reduced shedding, increased hair growth, improved hair quality, and better-looking hair and scalp. Maintenance treatments may be needed, as directed by Dr. Gray, to maintain density.
How is the Alma TED Different from Hair Transplant?
Alma TED hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that does not require needles or grafts and has no reported downtime. It does not create new hair follicles but may be suited for certain types of hair thinning or shedding.
In comparison, a hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves existing hair follicles to areas experiencing hair loss and requires a recovery period. Hair transplants may be appropriate for suitable candidates who need follicular transplantation. A consultation is required for both treatments to determine the most appropriate option.
