One approach to treating hair loss is known as regenerative medicine, which uses naturally occurring substances in the body to promote growth and healing. Growth factors are proteins produced by our bodies that give instructions to our cells. Normally, the scalp is a barrier that prevents topically applied growth factors from penetrating beneath the surface. Therefore, these substances are traditionally injected with needles, which can be painful. One common example is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP); during this procedure, your own growth factor-containing platelets are injected into the scalp. As we get older, our growth factors deteriorate in potency; thus we are often injecting suboptimal quality growth factors, and this can result in disappointing results.
At Limmer Hair Transplant Center, we offer an exciting alternative to PRP injections. The Alma TED (trans-epidermal delivery) device uses ultrasound energy to drive a unique hair growth serum (the TED+ Hair Care Formula) through the scalp directly to the hair follicles, doing so in a completely non-invasive, painless manner.
Ultrasound and Air Pressure Application: The device emits low-frequency ultrasonic acoustic sound waves and uses air pressure to create temporary microchannels in the scalp. This process, known as acoustic cavitation, allows for deeper penetration of topical treatments.
Topical Hair Care Formula Delivery: A proprietary hair growth formula containing growth factors, peptides, and nutrients is applied to the scalp. The combination of ultrasound and air pressure facilitates the delivery of these essential ingredients directly into the hair follicles.
Patients enjoy the comfortable treatment experience.
Patients achieve noticeable results within 6 months.
Alma TED is an FDA-cleared Class 1 device.
A complete treatment takes 30-45 minutes - no anesthetic needed!
Alma TED is a non-invasive hair restoration treatment that uses ultrasound technology and air pressure to deliver a specialized topical formula into the scalp, promoting hair growth and improving scalp health.
The device emits sound waves and air pressure to create temporary microchannels in the scalp, allowing hair growth nutrients to penetrate deeply and stimulate hair follicles.
No, Alma TED is completely painless. It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there are no needles, incisions, or discomfort during the treatment.
The treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning or hair loss. It’s not suitable for those who are completely bald or have advanced hair loss.
