Revolutionizing Hair Restoration: The Role of TED in Combating Hair Loss

There's a saying that death and taxes are the only certainties in life. But if medical data are any indication, you can add hair loss to that list. That’s because roughly two-thirds of men experience hair loss by the time they reach their mid-30s; by age 50, about 85% of men have noticeably thinner hair.

It’s not much better for women. Data show that about 40% of women have noticeable hair loss by the time they reach age 50, resulting in considerably lower self-confidence and self-esteem.

E Jacob Simhaee, MD, helps men and women combat hair loss with the revolutionary Alma TED® system. This state-of-the-art hair restoration system is designed to regrow hair naturally and without surgery. Here’s how it can help you restore your hair and your self-confidence.

The basics of hair loss

Hair loss can happen for lots of reasons, including some that might surprise you. Some common causes include:

• Genetics or family history (androgenetic alopecia)
• Hormones or hormonal changes
• Scalp infections
• Long-term use of certain medications
• Some medical treatments
• Severe stress
• Hairstyles that stress the follicles
• Perms and hot oil treatments that damage follicles

Some types of hair loss can be reversed—for instance, hair loss associated with certain medications. However, other types, like hair loss associated with genetics, can only be treated with hair restoration.

For years, restoring hair meant undergoing uncomfortable scalp surgery. This procedure typically involves removing a strip of skin (and follicles) from the lower back of the head and transplanting it to an area of thinning or baldness. Like any surgery, hair transplantation involves risks, including scarring, infection, or rejection.

Hair transplant surgery can also be quite visible depending on the technique that’s used, and the recovery period can be prolonged and uncomfortable. Fortunately, Alma TED avoids all those issues while promoting the growth of new, healthy hair.

Restore hair with Alma TED

Alma TED uses ultrasound energy to penetrate the scalp painlessly and stimulate dormant or underactive hair follicles. While many people associate ultrasound energy with diagnostic imaging, it’s also widely used to promote tissue healing without the need for surgery or its attendant risks.

Ultrasound energy works in a couple of ways to promote follicle activation. First, it improves circulation in the scalp tissue, enhancing blood flow so follicles get the oxygen and nutrients they need to stay active and healthy. 

Second, ultrasound energy enhances circulation, helping your scalp eliminate toxins and wastes associated with stress and other causes of hair loss. This provides a healthy environment for better hair growth. Improved blood flow also invigorates hair follicles and promotes thicker, healthier hair shafts.

Energy is administered in precise doses via a handheld device applied to the scalp. Treatment takes no more than an hour and no recovery time afterward. Best of all, because it’s noninvasive, Alma TED treatment is safe enough for nearly anyone. Every treatment plan is completely customizable based on your unique needs and goals.
