Alma TED Hair Treatment Services

Hair loss and thinning can affect confidence and quality of life, whether it begins early or later in life. New technologies in hair restoration now give patients more options than ever before. One of the most promising innovations is Alma TED, a non-invasive hair treatment designed to improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth without needles or downtime.

Alma TED is an advanced system that uses ultrasound-based technology and a topical hair care formula to rejuvenate the scalp and optimize follicle function. Unlike traditional methods that involve injections or surgery, this treatment is needle-free, comfortable, and designed for men and women who want to address hair thinning in its early stages.

What Is Alma TED?

Alma TED is a specialized hair restoration treatment that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive a proprietary topical serum into the scalp. TED stands for TransEpidermal Delivery, a technology that enhances absorption without puncturing the skin.

This combination of ultrasound energy and a nutrient-rich serum nourishes hair follicles, improves scalp circulation, and creates a healthier environment for growth. Patients typically report less shedding, thicker-looking hair, and improved scalp coverage after a series of treatments.

How Does Alma TED Work?

Alma TED works by enhancing the delivery of essential growth factors and nutrients directly into the scalp. The process involves three main steps:

  • Ultrasound Energy: Gentle sound waves create micro-channels in the skin without needles or trauma.
  • Air Pressure: A pulsed system drives the serum deep into the scalp where it can reach the follicles.
  • Topical Serum: A specially formulated solution rich in growth factors, peptides and nutrients helps stimulate hair growth and improve follicle health.

Because Alma TED does not rely on needles, there is no discomfort, bleeding, or downtime. Patients can return to daily activities immediately after each session.

Benefits of Alma TED Hair Treatment

Alma TED offers a range of benefits for patients concerned about hair thinning:

  • Non-Invasive: No needles, injections, or surgery required.
  • Comfortable Experience: Patients typically describe the treatment as a warm sensation with mild vibration.
  • No Downtime: You can resume work or exercise immediately.
  • Early Intervention: Works well for those in the early stages of hair thinning and shedding.
  • Improved Density: Encourages thicker, fuller-looking hair over time.
  • Enhanced Scalp Health: The serum nourishes follicles and improves scalp circulation.

Alma-TED vs. PRP Therapy

Both Alma-TED and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair restoration therapy are popular non-surgical treatments for hair loss, but there are important differences:

  • Method: PRP requires a blood draw and injections into the scalp, while Alma TED uses ultrasound and air pressure to deliver growth factors, peptides, and nutrients without needles.
  • Comfort: Alma TED is generally more comfortable since it does not involve needles or anesthesia.
  • Downtime: PRP may cause temporary scalp soreness or redness, whereas Alma TED has little to no recovery period.
  • Ideal use: PRP may be better for advanced thinning, while Alma TED is particularly effective for early shedding and thinning.

Some patients benefit from a combination approach, using both Alma TED and PRP to maximize results.

Who Is a Candidate for Alma TED?

Alma TED is suitable for both men and women who are experiencing:

  • Early signs of hair thinning
  • Increased shedding
  • Receding hairline or widening part
  • Hair that appears less dense than before

It is especially helpful for patients who want a non-invasive, comfortable treatment that does not interfere with their daily routine. Those with advanced hair loss may require additional medical or surgical solutions such as oral finasteride, oral minoxidil,  PRP or hair transplant surgery.

What to Expect During Alma TED Treatment

The treatment process is simple and typically lasts 20–30 minutes per session:

  1. The Alma TED device is applied to the scalp, delivering ultrasound waves and air pressure to create temporary micro-channels within the scalp tissue painlessly.
  2. The topical serum is applied to the scalp and a higher frequency setting of the ultrasound device is used to push the serum through the temporary scalp micro-channels downwards to the hair follicles.
  3. The temporary micro-channels created within the scalp tissue will close up on their own in about 15-20 minutes after the treatment is complete.
  4. Patients relax during treatment with no discomfort or need for anesthesia.

alma TED treatment timeline for hair loss

Most patients receive a series of three treatments spaced about 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions as recommended. Most patients will need to maintain ALMA-TED treatments approximately once every 6 months to continue receiving the benefits.

Alma TED Results and Timeline

Results vary depending on the individual and the degree of thinning. Many patients notice:

  • Reduced shedding
  • Improved hair texture and fullness
  • Visible thickening and improved density  

Because Alma TED works by restoring scalp health and stimulating follicles, results continue to improve gradually with time and proper maintenance.

Alma TED Cost

The cost of Alma TED depends on the number of sessions needed, the size of the treatment area, and whether it is combined with other therapies. While it is generally more affordable than surgical restoration, Alma TED is considered an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. During a consultation, patients receive a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.

Take the Next Step Toward Fuller Hair

Alma TED represents a new era in non-invasive hair restoration. By combining ultrasound energy, air pressure, and a nutrient-rich serum, it offers a comfortable and effective way to address early thinning and improve scalp health. With no downtime or discomfort, Alma TED is an appealing option for those seeking to maintain fuller, healthier-looking hair.

If you are noticing increased shedding, thinning, or early signs of hair loss, now is the time to take action. Schedule a consultation with Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration to learn if Alma TED is the right treatment for you.

Alma TED Hair Treatment FAQ

Does Alma TED hurt?

No. Unlike PRP which requires injections, Alma TED is comfortable and does not cause pain. Patients typically describe the sensation as warm with light vibration.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice reduced shedding and thicker-looking hair at 1 year after initiation, with continued improvement over several months.
