Alma TED Hair Restoration: Real Results for Thinning, Shedding & Hair Loss

Whether you're dealing with visible thinning, receding hairlines, or unexplained hair shedding, Alma TED offers a non-surgical hair restoration solution that delivers real results without needles, pain, or downtime.
At Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill, we've helped patients reclaim their confidence using Alma TED technology, and we're proud to share real patient results that speak for themselves.

What is Alma TED?

Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) is an ultrasound-based treatment that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to enhance the delivery of a powerful hair growth serum into the scalp. The serum includes a multitude of ingredients such as growth factors that help renew blood vessel and collagen growth that supports new hair growth, and peptides that help maintain current hair anchoring in the follicle.

Unlike traditional microneedling or PRP injections, TED is completely non-invasive and needle-free. It's ideal for patients looking for a comfortable, in-office solution for hair thinning and shedding—with no social downtime. Also, there are no undesirable systemic side effects like traditional medical treatments like Propecia or Minoxidil.

Who is a good candidate for Alma TED?

Alma TED is a great option for both men and women experiencing:

  • Hair thinning, especially around the part or temples
  • Male pattern baldness or early signs of a receding hairline
  • Excessive hair shedding, including from stress or hormone shifts
  • Postpartum or age-related hair loss
  • Poor scalp circulation or dull, lackluster hair

If you’ve been searching for the best hair restoration near you that’s non-surgical and effective, Alma TED may be your answer.

What kind of results can I expect?

Most patients begin to notice reduced shedding within the first few weeks. Over the next 2–3 months, improvements in hair density, scalp coverage, and texture become more visible.

How many Alma TED treatments will I need?

We recommend starting with a series of three monthly treatments to activate hair growth and support scalp health. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled based on your goals.

We offer:

  • Single sessions for touch-ups or mild thinning
  • Discounted packages for full treatment plans

We’ll help customize your approach during your consultation.

Is the treatment painful?

Not at all. TED is completely non-invasive and feels like a warm, vibrating scalp massage. There are no needles and no downtime. You can return to your normal activities right away. We simply ask that you avoid washing your hair or getting your scalp wet for 24 hours following your treatment.

How much does Alma TED cost?

Pricing depends on the number of sessions recommended for your unique situation. We offer both single session pricing and package rates.

If you’re unsure where to begin, schedule a hair restoration consultation—the consultation fee will be applied to your first treatment if you choose to move forward.

How does Alma Ted compare to PRP Injections?

When it comes to advanced hair restoration options, both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections and Alma TED offer exciting benefits—but they work in very different ways to stimulate hair growth. PRP involves drawing a small amount of your own blood and then injecting that plasma back into your scalp. Because PRP comes from your own body, its quality depends on your overall health and lifestyle, so results can vary each time based on factors like diet, hydration, and wellness habits. This means every PRP treatment can be a different, depending on how healthy your blood is at the time.

In contrast, Alma TED uses a proprietary delivery system to administer a consistent blend of active ingredients designed to promote hair growth and improve scalp health. Unlike PRP, Alma TED treatments deliver a uniform and reliable dose every session, so you can expect the same carefully measured ingredients with each treatment. This consistency can be an advantage for those looking for steady, predictable results.

To give Alma TED an extra boost, you can add PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), which is a powerful growth factor naturally found in the body that supports tissue repair and hair follicle stimulation. Adding PDGF to your Alma TED treatment combines the best of both worlds—the precise, consistent delivery of Alma TED’s ingredients plus the regenerative benefits of a powerful growth factor like PDGF. This tailored approach can help maximize your hair restoration results.
