Hair loss affects millions of men and women, and for many, it’s more than a cosmetic issue. It impacts self-confidence and quality of life. Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) is a newer, non-invasive treatment that’s gaining attention for its ability to improve hair thickness and scalp health, without the need for needles or downtime.
But does it work? At Metrolina Medical Associates, we believe in giving our patients science-backed answers. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is Alma TED?
Alma TED is a revolutionary device that utilises ultrasonic sound waves and air pressure to deliver proprietary growth-stimulating serums deep into the scalp, eliminating the need for injections. It’s designed to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support healthier hair follicles.
Rather than relying on microneedling or lasers, Alma TED works pain-free and needle-free, making it ideal for patients who want results without discomfort or recovery time.
What Does the Science Say?
Alma TED is still relatively new, so large-scale peer-reviewed studies are limited. However, early clinical data and real-world case studies show promising results:
- A 2022 study by Alma Lasers reported that 20 patients experienced a 30% increase in hair density and significant improvement in scalp health after receiving three treatments over a three-month period.
- According to a published case series in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, non-invasive acoustic wave therapies, such as TED, improved topical drug absorption and demonstrated measurable hair growth within 12 weeks.

Key Benefits of Alma TED for Hair Restoration
- No needles or downtime
- Enhanced absorption of hair growth serums
- Improved scalp circulation
- Suitable for early-stage hair loss in both men and women
- Safe for most skin types
Many patients report noticeable improvements in the texture, fullness, and coverage of their hair after just a few sessions.

Who Is It For?
Alma TED works best for people experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning, primarily when addressed early. It may be suitable if:
- You’ve noticed increased hair shedding
- Your ponytail feels thinner
- Your scalp is more visible than before
- You want to avoid more invasive treatments
If your hair loss is caused by medical conditions or scarring, Alma TED may not be as effective, and a different approach may be necessary.
