A new advance in non-surgical hair restoration.
Hair loss (alopecia) is one of the most common cosmetic concerns. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss, is the most prevalent type of hair loss in men and women. Between the ages of 30 and 49 about 17% of women develop female pattern hair loss. Between the ages of 50 and 69, this number increases to 25%. In terms of percentages, men fare worse. By age 25, 25% will develop male pattern baldness. By 40 it is 40% and by 50 it is 50%.
Hair loss can cause significant emotional stress and lead to self-esteem issues impacting the overall quality of life. Searching for a solution can be a long frustrating process of trail and error. Unfortunately, many of the available hair loss treatments are painful, extremely pricey, and ineffective.
In order to combat this problem, Southeastern Dermatology is proud to introduce the FDA cleared Alma TED to the greater Knoxville area. TED stands for Trans Epidermal Delivery. This is a painless, needle free, non-surgical device that harnesses sound waves and gentle air pressure to Trans Epidermally Deliver a proprietary serum of growth factors, peptides, and nutrients up to four millimeters into the skin to stimulate hair growth. This cost-effective procedure has established a reputation for amazing results.
If the pain of PRP injections or the thought and cost of surgical hair transplantation has dissuaded you from seeking treatment, Alma TED may be the hair loss treatment you have been looking for.
Alma TED Candidacy
Apart from a bald shiny scalp, virtually all types of hair loss patients can benefit from the Alma TED procedure. Dr. Doppelt and his aesthetic team at Southeastern Dermatology would welcome the opportunity to consult with you to determine if Alma TED is an appropriate treatment option.

Alma TED Procedure
As mentioned, Alma TED procedures utilize sound waves and gentle air pressure in lieu of painful needles. The procedure is safe and requires no anesthesia or sedation. The procedure is pain-free and involves nothing more than a warm sensation and some ringing sounds as the sound waves and air pressure move over the treatment area. Some patients even describe the procedure as enjoyable! Dr. Doppelt who has had the procedure described the sensation as a warm scalp massage. In fact, he almost fell asleep during the process.
Overall, the procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes. A series of 3 treatments performed 4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Many patients notice improvement in as few as 2 weeks in the form of decreased hair shedding. Hair sprouts are typically seen within 1 to 2 months and further growth thereafter.
There is no downtime whatsoever for Alma TED treatment. It is recommended not to wash your hair for 24 hours after the treatment. Other than that, once you leave the office you are free to go about your business as usual!
