Hair Loss Restoration in Tucson
Hair Loss Treatment in Tucson
Hair loss affects millions of men and women and can significantly impact our confidence and quality of life. While we may think of hair loss mainly affecting older individuals, almost anyone can suffer from thinning hair due to genetics, COVID-19, and post-chemotherapy. Although hair loss generally can’t be stopped or prevented in full, it may be treated and managed. While everyone experiences hair loss differently, prevention and early treatment can lead to successful outcomes. Dr. Lo and the About Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa team recognize that hair loss treatments extend beyond vanity and can help restore confidence. We are excited to introduce the latest cutting-edge Alma TED hair treatment in Tucson, a pain-free and effective hair restoration treatment to help restore thicker, healthier hair.
The Alma TED Treatment
Alma TED is a revolutionary, non-invasive Hair Restoration treatment that works by harnessing the power of ultrasound technology with a topical Hair Growth serum to help improve hair shedding, thinning hair, and hair loss without pain or downtime.
What is Alma TED?
Alma TED, short for TransEpidermal Delivery, utilizes the power of ultrasound waves combined with the proprietary TED+ Hair Care serum to invigorate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve overall hair quality (think increased strength and shine!). Using the exclusive Impact Delivery system, the Alma TED device gently propels the topical TED+ Hair Care growth formula into the scalp through the synergy of sound waves and air pressure. This unique delivery process amplifies the formula's penetration, stimulating blood circulation, and supplying vital nutrients to the hair follicles. Alma TED breathes life into dormant follicles, promoting natural hair growth, and enhancing hair thickness and density.
Benefits of Alma TED
Alma TED provides a range of benefits, including revitalizing tired and damaged hair, boosting hair growth and thickness, enhancing shine and luster, reducing frizz and unruliness, and strengthening hair follicles. In addition to improving hair health, Alma TED significantly contributes to scalp health by boosting blood circulation, reducing dryness and itchiness, and promoting the ideal environment for hair growth. Best of all, Alma TED is for everyone! No matter your age, gender, or hair type, anyone can experience a gradual improvement in hair thickness and growth over the course of a few months.
The Alma TED Difference
Alma TED stands out among hair restoration procedures due to its non-invasive approach—no incisions or surgery are involved. The utilization of ultrasound therapy ensures a pain-free and comfortable process. In contrast to potentially painful and messy methods like microneedling or PRP treatments, Alma TED introduces a revolutionary solution to address hair loss without the need for anesthesia or numbing. With shorter treatment times and more predictable outcomes, Alma TED sessions take less than an hour and are entirely pain-free—no needles, no bleeding, no discomfort, no shedding, and no downtime.

Alma TED Technology
Alma TED employs low-frequency ultrasonic acoustic sound waves and air pressure to deliver topical hair growth treatments deep into the skin through a phenomenon known as acoustic cavitation. Ultrasonic sound waves, operating at a very specific vibration or frequency, can penetrate the stratum corneum within the epidermis by generating minuscule, transient gaseous bubbles that rapidly expand and collapse. This process temporarily creates openings, facilitating the absorption of medications. Simultaneously, the mechanical pressure exerted by the sound waves initiates a push-and-pull effect, propelling the delivery of compounds through the temporary access points formed in the skin's top layer.
The Alma TED or TransEpidermal Delivery enhances the absorption of topical hair growth treatments by penetrating the outmost layer of the skin, allowing a higher concentration of active ingredients to reach the hair follicles. The TED+ Hair Care Formula is an exclusive product designed to increase the strength of your hair. This proprietary blend incorporates essential nutrients, including peptides, growth factors, and amino acids, to support hair growth and promote scalp health.
The Alma TED Hair Restoration Treatment
During the Alma TED treatment at About Face Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa, Dr. Lo and his team will assess your scalp health and hair density and then map out a personalized treatment plan with you.
Your Alma TED Treatment starts with the pretreatment phase, which includes applying the Alma TED Device to the scalp to prime the skin
The next step is the application phase using the Hair Care serum, which our team will place directly on the scalp
The last step is the retreat phase, using the Alma TED Device to drive the Hair Care deep into the skin
After your treatment, your hair may be damp at the roots. You can wear a hat after your treatment if needed
Arrive at your appointment with clean, dry hair free of any hair products, hair spray, fibers or oils. Do not color your hair the week before or after your treatment. Try to use gentle or mild hair products during your Alma TED series.
While results are evident after one treatment, Dr. Lo recommends a total of three treatments, getting treated once a month for three months. The results should last about a year, after which the process can be repeated.
What does Alma TED feel like?
Throughout the treatment, patients may hear the ultrasonic energy at work! During the treatment, you will feel a warm, vibrating sensation, which is painless, as the Alma TED device uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to drive the topical Hair Care Formula deeply into the skin.
Alma TED Hair Aftercare
Immediately after your Alma TED Hair Loss treatment you may return to normal activities. Hair will be damp so you may blow your hair dry. Do not wash your hair for 24 hours after your session. We recommend limiting your certain chemcial salon hair treatments like color services or perms.
