How Does Alma TED Work?

Having a bad hair day is one thing. However, dealing with hair loss that turns every day into a bad hair day is an entirely different challenge. Hair loss continues to be a big topic, especially with a staggering 80 million men and women affected by it. Everything from stress to hormonal changes, diet, genetics, and even lifestyle choices can change the hair and eventually lead to thinning hair and hair loss. Dealing with hair loss can be frustrating, and the market is full of empty claims and promises. But one hair treatment is changing all of that: Alma TED. So, if you're wondering how Alma TED works and if it is right for you, we are sharing everything there is to know about this targeted, game-changing solution that will make a significant difference in your hair.


Alma TED

What is Alma Ted?

Alma TED is a noninvasive hair treatment that relies on acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive special topical formulation into the dermis. This totally needle- and pain-free treatment works to help regrow hair that has been lost. TED stands for transepidermal drug delivery, and the formula used is packed with ingredients designed to enhance hair and scalp health and strengthen follicles, resulting in visible and tangible improvements.


How does Alma Ted Work?

Alma TED works by harnessing the power of ultrasound to improve the hair's growth pattern so it becomes thicker and fuller. Its proprietary tip is engineered with Impact Delivery, a noninvasive hair restoration method. The treatment uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive a specifically formulated medication past the skin's protective layer, targeting deep within the dermis. It's deep in the dermis where the change in the hair takes place. This process delivers nourishment to the hair follicles and scalp. In addition, the skin absorbs the effective medications at the highest amount for optimal results.


Many people want to know how Alma TED works. Its unique transepidermal drug delivery system helps support both the hair and scalp health and strengthen the follicles. Unlike other hair restoration procedures, Alma TED requires no needles, downtime, or pain. It is the only low-frequency ultrasound system that leverages acoustic sound waves to induce hair growth. The acoustic waves also create gaseous bubbles in the stratum corneum that expand into the lipid bilayer. This allows medications to be delivered even deeper into the scalp and fully absorbed into the body at the most optimized level. The treatment also improves blood flow to enhance hair growth.



The Treatment Areas

Alma TED is primarily used to treat hair loss on the scalp, no matter where it is most prominent. The treatment can also improve the symptoms of various forms of nonscarring alopecia, as well as male and female pattern baldness.  While the scalp is the most common treatment area to use Alma TED, it can also improve thinning hair and hair loss on the eyebrows and beard.

The Benefits of Alma Ted

The main benefit of undergoing the Alma Ted treatment is to jumpstart the hair growth process and improve the look of the hair's density, but there are other benefits of the treatment, too, including:


  • Trauma and discomfort-free hair restoration

  • A comfortable treatment

  • No downtime or recovery

  • Results are often noticeable after one treatment

  • Requires no topical anesthetic 

  • No post-treatment hair shedding

  • FDA-cleared

  • Safe for all ages and sexes

  • Causes no scalp trauma

  • Fast and easy

  • Leads to stronger, healthier hair follicles

  • Increases hair volume


Typically, patients notice improvement after one treatment; by the third month, there is less scalp show. Generally, three treatments are required.


What to Expect During an Alma Ted Session

Even though a series of Alma Ted treatments is recommended to see the full benefits, each session is pain-free, quick, and easy, lasting about 20 to 30 minutes with no downtime or recovery. Your scalp is examined and assessed during your first treatment to tailor the treatment to your needs. You may feel a warm sensation from the device and a ringing sound during the treatment, but not any pain, discomfort, or scalp trauma.


While you may notice a change in your hair texture and thickness after one treatment, the first signs of changes can be seen about one month after the first session. However, additional treatments are recommended to reach optimal results.

No, the treatments are relaxing and comfortable. They emit a warm sensation, vibrations, and a ringing sound but no discomfort or pain.


  • How many Alma Ted sessions are typically needed to see results?
