What Is Alma TED?

AlmaTED, which stands for Trans Epidermal Delivery, uses ultrasound energy to create temporary micro-channels in the scalp's outer layer, allowing specially formulated solutions to penetrate more deeply and effectively than topical application alone. This enhanced delivery helps nourish hair follicles and support a healthier scalp environment for growth. Because AlmaTED is entirely non-invasive, with no needles involved, it's often a comfortable entry point for patients exploring hair restoration options for the first time.

Are You a Good Candidate for Alma TED?

You may be a good candidate for Alma TED hair restoration in Nashville if you're noticing early to moderate hair thinning and are interested in a needle-free, non-invasive approach to supporting scalp health and hair growth. AlmaTED tends to work best on patients who still have existing hair follicles to stimulate, rather than areas of complete, long-standing baldness.

Good candidates are in good general health with realistic expectations about the gradual nature of results. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your scalp and hair loss pattern to determine whether AlmaTED alone or combined with another treatment, like PRP, will best meet your goals.

Combining AlmaTED With Other Treatments

Many patients achieve enhanced results by combining AlmaTED with other hair restoration treatments we offer.

  • AlmaTED with PRP allows the ultrasound-created channels to enhance absorption of platelet-rich plasma, potentially supporting a stronger growth response.
  • AlmaTED with Acorn Stem Cell Therapy combines two regenerative approaches for more comprehensive scalp support.

Our team can help determine whether combining treatments makes sense for your specific hair loss pattern and goals.

Great results, no pain. I have been doing this treatment for about 1 year and have visibly seen thinning spots improving. I realized overall thickness when shampooing. I have tried oral supplements, OTC minoxidil, and PRP but nothing for results like this.

What to Expect During Your AlmaTED Treatment

AlmaTED treatments are performed in-office, typically taking thirty to forty-five minutes. The ultrasound device is passed gently over the scalp to create temporary micro-channels before the growth-supporting solution is applied. Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable, with little to no discomfort involved. Our team will walk you through your specific treatment plan and recommended session schedule during your consultation.

Results and Longevity

Because AlmaTED works by supporting the scalp's natural growth environment rather than creating an immediate change, most patients don't notice significant improvement until several months into a treatment series. Consistency across multiple sessions plays an important role in achieving visible results. Many patients continue periodic maintenance treatments to sustain their results over time. Our team stays involved throughout your treatment plan, adjusting as needed based on your progress.
