Alma TED Hair Restoration

What Is Alma TED?

Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) is a non-invasive hair restoration treatment that uses ultrasound waves and air pressure to help deliver a proprietary growth factor blend into the scalp. The goal is to support healthier follicles, improve the scalp environment, and reduce visible thinning over a series of treatments.

During treatment, ultrasound energy helps create micro-channels at the skin surface while air pressure supports even distribution of the serum across the scalp. In manufacturer-reported data and clinical-use protocols, TED has been associated with improved delivery compared with topical application alone, with many patients noticing fuller-looking hair over time. Results vary based on the cause and stage of hair loss.

At SageMED in Bellevue, Alma TED treatments are performed by Dr. Eva Miller, Dr. Kiran Bhandari, and Dr. Hannah Bressler. Free consultations are available to help determine whether TED is the right fit for your hair loss pattern and goals.

What Makes SageMED's TED Hair Restoration Unique?

SageMED uses a TED growth factor serum designed to support hair follicle signaling and scalp health without needles or injections. Many patients prefer TED because it is non-invasive, comfortable, and designed to fit into a broader plan for long-term hair support.

Before starting TED, our clinicians screen for common contributors to thinning and shedding that can affect results, including:

• Anemia
• Thyroid concerns (including hypothyroidism)
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Systemic inflammation patterns

Addressing root contributors helps create better conditions for hair restoration and can improve the durability of results.

The SageMED TED Protocol

Your plan is tailored to your hair loss pattern, health history, and goals. A typical protocol may include:

• 4 Alma TED sessions (Day 1, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12)
• 3-month supply of Collagen + Biotin supplements from WiseMEDS to support hair and follicle health
• 3 months of BioTE Hair Activator, a topical copper peptide serum used to support scalp and follicle environment

For patients with hormone-sensitive thinning, your clinician may recommend a customized topical formula when clinically appropriate, which may include:

• Dutasteride
• Minoxidil
• Latanoprost

This combination approach is designed to help protect follicles from hormonal signaling that can contribute to thinning and to support stronger, more resilient regrowth over time.

Benefits of Alma TED Hair Restoration

Patients choose Alma TED because it is designed to support hair restoration with minimal disruption to daily life. Potential benefits include:

Individual results vary based on diagnosis, baseline density, and contributing health factors.

What to Expect During Your TED Treatment

TED sessions are designed as efficient in-office visits. Many appointments take about 45 minutes from start to finish.

Before your appointment

• Arrive with clean hair and avoid styling products on the scalp.

During treatment

• The TED device uses ultrasound and air pressure to support serum delivery across the scalp.
• Most patients describe the sensation as warm and gently vibrating, and it is generally well tolerated.

After treatment

There is typically minimal downtime. Your clinician will provide guidance on post-treatment scalp care and product use.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Alma TED?

Alma TED is often a good fit for patients who:

• Are in the early stages of thinning or shedding
• Want a non-invasive hair restoration option
• Are not experiencing advanced baldness
• Want to support density and reduce ongoing hair loss with a structured plan

A consultation is important to confirm candidacy and to identify treatable contributing factors such as thyroid function, iron status, nutrient needs, and hormone-related patterns.

• Nutrient status and scalp health fundamentals
• Hormone-sensitive thinning patterns
