Alma TED™ - Advanced Non-Invasive Hair Restoration
Wang Plastic Surgery, serving the Greater Los Angeles, Inland Empire, and North Orange County area, is dedicated to providing the most advanced, effective, and minimally invasive treatments to enhance our patients’ appearance and well-being. We are proud to introduce Alma TED™, a revolutionary hair restoration solution now available at our Pasadena, Glendora, Upland, and Santa Ana offices. Alma TED™ offers a new approach to combat hereditary, autoimmunity and hormonal imbalance caused by stress, post-partum, post-COVID hair thinning, and non-scarring alopecia.
Hair thinning is a common concern that can result from a variety of factors. Genetics is the most prevalent cause, with conditions like androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness, leading to progressive thinning as people age. Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy, menopause, or due to thyroid issues, can also contribute to hair thinning. Additionally, stress is a significant factor, with both physical and emotional stress capable of triggering a type of hair loss known as telogen effluvium, where hair prematurely enters the shedding phase.
Research from various parts of the world indicates that some individuals experience hair loss following recovery from COVID-19. Studies suggest that when hair loss occurs, it is likely due to one of the following reasons:
- Temporary hair shedding known as telogen effluvium: This condition leads to an increase in hair loss, where you may notice more hair falling out than usual.
- Exacerbation of pre-existing alopecia areata (less common): Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that halts hair growth, typically leading to one or more round or oval bald patches on the scalp.
Nutritional deficiencies, particularly a lack of essential nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and protein, can weaken hair and cause it to thin. Medical conditions, including autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, scalp infections, and chronic illnesses, may also contribute to hair loss. Certain medications, such as those used to treat cancer, depression, high blood pressure, and arthritis, list hair thinning as a potential side effect. Aging naturally leads to finer and thinner hair, and poor hair care practices, including excessive styling, chemical treatments, and heat application, can exacerbate the issue over time.
Alma TED offers a non-invasive and effective solution for individuals experiencing hair thinning by addressing some of these underlying causes and improving overall scalp health. Using ultrasound technology, Alma TED delivers a proprietary serum deep into the scalp, directly nourishing and revitalizing hair follicles. This process can help reactivate dormant follicles, promoting the growth of thicker, healthier hair. Additionally, the treatment enhances blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair growth, which is crucial for maintaining hair density and preventing further thinning.
One of the key benefits of Alma TED is its non-invasive nature. Unlike traditional hair restoration methods that involve needles or surgery, Alma TED is a comfortable, pain-free option with no downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. The treatment is suitable for various causes of hair thinning, whether due to genetics, hormonal changes, or stress. By improving scalp health and stimulating hair follicles, Alma TED can effectively counteract the effects of these factors.
Alma TED treatments are also highly customizable, allowing for a tailored approach based on the severity of hair thinning and the patient’s response to therapy. Early intervention is particularly beneficial with Alma TED, as it can slow the progression of hair loss and improve the chances of regrowth. Overall, Alma TED offers a painless and efficient way to enhance hair density, helping those struggling with hair thinning to regain confidence and achieve a fuller head of hair.

What is Alma TED™?
Alma TED™ (TransEpidermal Delivery) is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive hair restoration treatment that uses ultrasound technology to deliver active ingredients deep into the scalp. This innovative treatment is designed to promote hair growth, improve scalp health, and restore hair density—all without needles, surgery, or downtime. It’s now available at our med spas in Pasadena, Glendora, Upland, and Santa Ana.
How Does Alma TED™ Work?
Alma TED™ combines cutting-edge ultrasound technology with a proprietary hair growth serum to rejuvenate the scalp and stimulate hair follicles:
TransEpidermal Delivery: The Alma TED™ device uses focused ultrasound energy to create temporary microchannels in the scalp, enabling deep penetration of the growth serum into the hair follicles.
Serum Infusion: The serum, packed with essential nutrients and growth factors, is infused into the scalp, where it nourishes and revitalizes hair follicles, promoting healthier and thicker hair.
Scalp Stimulation: The ultrasound energy also stimulates blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp, creating an ideal environment for hair growth and scalp health.
How many Alma TED™ treatments is required?
The number of Alma TED™ treatments a patient needs can vary depending on individual factors, including the extent of hair thinning, the desired results, and how well the patient’s scalp responds to the treatment. However, a common treatment protocol typically involves:
- Initial Series: Most patients start with a series of three treatments, spaced about four weeks apart. This initial series is designed to stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp health effectively.
- Maintenance: After the initial series, some patients may require maintenance treatments every three to six months to sustain the results and continue promoting hair growth.
The exact number of treatments can vary, so it’s important for patients to consult with their provider at Wang Plastic Surgery to create a personalized treatment plan that suits their specific needs and goals. The provider will monitor progress and make recommendations for any additional treatments or adjustments to the schedule as needed.
What to Expect During Your Alma TED™ Treatment
Whether you’re visiting our Pasadena, Glendora, Upland, or Santa Ana office, your Alma TED™ treatment will be customized to meet your specific needs:
- Consultation: Begin your journey with a thorough consultation at any of our Greater Los Angeles locations. We will assess your hair and scalp health to determine if Alma TED™ is right for you.
- Treatment: During the treatment, the Alma TED™ device is gently applied to your scalp. You may experience a slight warming sensation as the ultrasound energy creates microchannels and delivers the growth serum into the scalp.
- Post-Treatment: Alma TED™ requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities right after your appointment.
When can I see results after Alma TED™ treatment?
The initial results, such as improved hair texture and a reduction in hair shedding, are typically noticed four to six weeks after the first treatment. However, for more noticeable improvements in hair density and growth, it generally takes three to six months after completing the recommended series of three treatments. The cumulative effects of multiple sessions help to achieve more significant and visible results.
It’s important to note that individual results can vary based on factors like the severity of hair thinning, the patient’s response to the treatment, and adherence to any recommended maintenance sessions. Regular follow-up treatments may also help enhance and sustain the results over time.
