Yes, because TED hair restoration infuses a topical peptide and growth factor serum that is specifically designed to stimulate hair growth and help promote a healthy scalp. While PRP and PRF do contain growth factors, the patient is limited by what their own body is able to create and if they are already experiencing hair loss and hair thinning then it’s likely their body is not producing enough of these hair growth factors. TED hair treatment for hair loss infuses this hair growth factor and peptide serum directly into the dermis to stimulate hair rejuvenation at the follicle.

It’s recommended patients start with a series of 3 treatments with the hair restoration machine with the treatment schedule being 1 treatment per month. 

After patients complete their initial 3 TED hair restoration treatment series they should plan to return for 2-3 treatments per year to continue to improve on their initial results and maintain the results they have attained. It’s highly encouraged that patients of the Alma TED treatment continue other topical hair loss treatments such as topical finasteride and/or topical minoxidil, along with Nutrafol supplements. Hair restoration is best accomplished with a multimodality treatment approach. TED hair restoration is the key component of this treatment plan, but other hair rejuvenation therapies should be continued.

TED hair restoration was developed to be used on any individual who is suffering from hair loss or wants to improve the overall thickness and appearance of their hair from ultrasound hair growth. Patients experiencing male pattern baldness, female hair loss, traction alopecia, stress-related hair loss, age-related hair loss, and more can all benefit from the TED hair treatment.

Utilizing the hair restoration device is a quick, 15-20 minute treatment. During your treatment our Medical Aesthetician will evaluate your scalp, hair density, and hair quality to discuss the treatment approach tailored to your specific needs. You’ll notice improvements within one month of each treatment, but a series of treatments for hair loss in conjunction with topical medication and Nutrafol vitamins will aid in delivering optimal results that can be maintained.

No, the Alma TED hair treatment is actually quite comfortable and soothing for many patients. Patients should expect to feel a warm sensation from the device and a mild vibration sensation that also creates a ringing sound through the course of treatment, but there is no pain experienced. No needles and no anesthesia are required for TED hair restoration treatments. There is no trauma or discomfort at the scalp during the treatment or post-treatment. 

You can expect to see results 1 month after each TED hair restoration treatment, but patients are highly encouraged to complete the 3 treatment series and then plan for 2-3 treatments a year to continue to improve and maintain their ultrasound hair growth results.  

Yes. By delivering low-frequency “ultrasonic” acoustic waves and air pressure, the TED Hair restoration device infuses the peptide growth factor serum deep into the dermis to stimulate new hair follicle growth. 

No. The only way to restore hair growth to a severely depleted scalp is through hair transplantation. However, TED hair treatment can be used in conjunction with hair transplants to help slow, stop, and reverse the progression of hair loss in both transplanted and non-transplanted areas. TED hair restoration would replace the need for the typical PRP hair restoration or PRF hair restoration required after a hair transplant.

Yes! TED Hair Restoration works on all hair textures and types.

TED hair restoration utilizes low-frequency “ultrasonic” acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive topical growth factors and peptides specifically created to encourage hair growth deep into the skin through a process called acoustic cavitation. The utilization of sound waves to increase the penetration of topical treatments is called sonophoresis or phonophoresis. When assessing the anatomy of the scalp we see the stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, composed primarily of dead cells and lipids, which form the primary barrier between the body and the environment around us. The stratum corneum has a layered brick-like structure to it, which blocks the penetration of large molecules and moisture. The corneocytes are the cellular “bricks” that are fused together with lipids, creating the outermost barrier. TED hair restoration utilizes its ultrasonic hair growth sound waves at a very specific vibration or frequency to cause tiny, transient gaseous bubbles within the stratum corneum to rapidly expand and collapse, which then disorganizes the lipid bilayer and temporarily increases the permeability of the topical hair growth factor and peptide complex serum. This is the process of Alma TED hair restoration device or “TransEpidermal Delivery,” which creates a push-and-pull effect to deliver the growth factor and peptide serum complex for hair rejuvenation to reach the hair follicles located below the stratum corneum.
