No. It is needle-free and most patients find it comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients start with a series of sessions about a month apart. We set your plan at your evaluation.
When will I see results?
Hair growth is slow, so expect to judge results over three to six months.
Does it work for complete baldness?
No. TED works best on thinning areas where follicles are still active.
How much does Alma TED cost?
Pricing depends on the area treated and the number of sessions you need. We give you a clear quote at your evaluation, and package pricing is often available.
Is Alma TED FDA-cleared?
Alma TED is an FDA-cleared device. We will explain how it fits into your hair-loss plan at your evaluation.
Is Alma TED better than PRP for hair?
TED is needle-free and requires no blood draw. We focus on TED combined with medical treatment rather than PRP for hair.
Is Alma TED permanent?
No hair treatment stops genetic hair loss permanently. Maintenance sessions help keep results.
Can women use Alma TED?
Yes. Alma TED treats thinning hair in both men and women.
