Alma TED in Edmond
Painless, needle-free hair restoration. Low-frequency ultrasound and air pressure help a topical hair care formula reach the scalp, without injections and without a blood draw.
What is Alma TED?
Alma TED is a hair restoration treatment from Alma. Alma describes it as a low-frequency ultrasound system that uses acoustic sound waves together with air pressure. It is paired with Alma’s TED+ Hair Care Formula, a topical formula of peptides and nutrients, and the ultrasound and air pressure are there to improve how well that formula is absorbed into the scalp.
Because there are no needles, TED is an option for patients who want to do something about thinning hair but would rather avoid injections. It can also be considered alongside PRP hair restoration, which uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood.
Thinning hair often has a hormonal, thyroid or nutritional component, so we look at those too, rather than treating the scalp in isolation.

Common Questions About Alma TED Hair Restoration
How does Alma TED work?
TED uses low-frequency ultrasound, meaning acoustic sound waves, combined with air pressure to improve absorption of a topical hair care formula into the scalp. There are no needles and no injections.
Does it hurt?
Alma TED is needle-free: nothing is injected and no blood is drawn, and Alma describes the treatment as involving no pain and no discomfort. That is why it is known as a painless approach to hair restoration.
How many treatments will I need?
Alma recommends at least three treatments spaced one month apart. Your provider will set your schedule at your consultation.
How is it different from PRP hair restoration?
PRP uses platelet-rich plasma from a small draw of your own blood, which is injected into the scalp. TED is needle-free and uses a topical formula delivered with ultrasound and air pressure. Some patients use one, some both; your provider will help you decide.
When will I see results?
Hair grows slowly, so any change takes months rather than weeks. Results vary, and your provider will set realistic expectations and a treatment schedule at your consultation.
