Understanding Alma TED.
Alma TED (short for TransEpidermal Delivery) is a hand-held device we use as part of our hair restoration program. It's needle-free. It combines low-frequency sound (ultrasound) energy with gentle, controlled air pressure at the scalp surface, together with a topical formulation supplied by the manufacturer, to help that formulation travel into the upper layers of the scalp, closer to the hair follicles. Treatments are performed by Dr. Gidon Frame or our trained technicians, under Dr. Frame's medical direction.
How does Alma TED work?
While the formulation sits on your scalp, the device passes low-frequency sound waves and pulses of air across the skin. This briefly loosens the skin's outer barrier so the ingredients can pass more easily into the superficial scalp tissue, without breaking the skin. The manufacturer's formulation includes ingredients intended to support a healthy environment for hair growth. Better delivery helps the product reach where it's needed, while your own hair biology shapes the final result.
What Alma TED improves
Alma TED is used for hair thinning and reduced hair density, including female-pattern and male-pattern hair loss and increased shedding. It works with follicles that are still active, so it's well suited to non-scarring thinning where hair is still growing.
It's a good fit if you'd like a needle-free option for your scalp, and it's usually one part of a wider plan that also looks at medical or hormonal contributors to your thinning.

Benefits of Alma TED
Alma TED is needle-free, usually comfortable, and doesn't need any anesthetic. Sessions are short, and there's no wound care afterward. Because treatment happens here at the clinic, we can follow how your scalp responds over time and adjust your plan. Any benefit builds gradually, and individual results vary.
Gentle scalp care at home supports your treatment. Our team can recommend hair and scalp products from our online shop that suit your routine.
Safety, side effects and suitability
Alma TED is generally considered low risk and doesn't break the skin. You might notice temporary scalp redness, mild sensitivity, warmth or tingling.
Treatment is postponed over an active scalp infection, open or broken skin, or unexplained scalp lesions, and extra care is taken in pregnancy or with certain scalp conditions. Hair loss that's sudden, patchy, progressing quickly or scarring is assessed medically first, since there may be a treatable cause behind it. This is not a complete list.

FAQ
Questions about Alma TED.
No. The device works at the surface of the scalp using low-frequency ultrasound and gentle air pressure together with a topical formulation. Many people find it comfortable, though sensitivity varies from person to person.
Alma TED is designed to support the scalp environment for the hair you have, and it works where follicles are still active. Results differ from person to person, and understanding the cause of your thinning gives you the clearest picture of what to expect. We'll talk this through at your consultation.
This varies with the person and the reason for thinning. We'll map out a plan and timeframe that fits your hair, then adjust it as we see how your scalp responds.
Alma TED is best suited to non-scarring thinning where follicles are still active. Scarring hair loss, an active scalp infection, or thinning linked to an untreated medical or hormonal condition is looked at first, so your plan starts with the right care.
