Alma TED® is a relatively new hair growth treatment that is considered non-invasive and designed to address hair thinning and hair loss. It is an ultrasound-based system, meaning it uses the power of sound waves and air pressure to distribute a hair care formula. TED applies these topical treatments deep into the skin for maximum effectiveness.
What Is Alma TED Hair Treatment?
The “Alma” refers to the company, Alma Lasers®, that developed the technology. They are a globally recognized manufacturer of aesthetic and medical laser and radio-frequency-based devices known for a variety of non-invasive cosmetic treatments.
TED stands for Transepidermal Delivery, it is a non-invasive treatment for hair loss that uses a specialized device to deliver the topical treatment into the scalp through micro-channels in the skin. The technique enhances the effectiveness of the treatment by bypassing the skin barrier and delivering the active ingredients to the hair follicles directly.
How Does Alma TED Work?
Specialized equipment, acoustic sound waves, and air pressure create small micro-channels in the scalp to precisely deliver beneficial compounds — like vitamins, peptides, and growth factors — directly into the layer of skin where hair follicles exist. Alma TED® promotes hair growth and stimulates hair follicles by ensuring their active ingredients directly reach hair follicles efficiently. It is also supposed to increase blood flow to the hair follicle. The process is also quite comfortable.
Is Alma TED Better Than PRP?
The debate between Alma TED® versus PRP is an interesting one. Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is a medical treatment that injects platelet-rich plasma cells into the affected area of your scalp. Plasma is the liquid part of your blood and plays a role in clotting, but they also contain proteins and cytokines that are supposed to promote growth, healing, and rejuvenation. You must first have your own blood drawn, spun down to separate plasma, and then mixed with other growth factors and injected into the scalp.
The effectiveness of one type of treatment over another can be varied, based on a number of factors unique to the patient’s individual hair loss conditions, treatment goals, and response to therapy. The Alma TED® hair treatment is noted for its precision in delivering nutrients and compounds directly to hair follicles. It is also a more gentle and comfortable procedure than PRP.
Is Alma TED FDA-Approved?
Alma TED® is a newer treatment option. However, it is an FDA-approved treatment for hair thinning and hair loss.
