- Autoimmune (Lupus, Hashimoto’s)
- Cicatricial Alopecia (Scarring where inflammation destroys hair follicle)
- Traction (Tight Hairstyles that Pull Hair)
- Telogen Effluvium: Diffuse and Temporary Sudden Hair Loss characterized by Increased Shedding:
- Physical Stressor / Hormonal: Illness (Covid / Hypothyroid), Pregnancy, Post-Partum, Menopause, GLP-1 Treatment

❓ How does TED® Hair Restoration Work?
1) Trans Epidermal Delivery (TED) Technology
- TED uses a combination of Ultrasound Waves and Controlled Air Pressure to deliver active hair growth ingredients directly into the scalp promoting hair growth and improving scalp health
- Ultrasonic Soundwaves result in Push / Pull Effect
- TED creates Micro-Bubbles which Burst => Shockwave => Microchannels
- Compared to Micro-Needling, TED creates Wider Channels without Injury
- Unlike topical solutions that only sit on the surface, TED® Enhances Penetration so the serum reaches the deeper layers of the skin where hair follicles reside
2) Delivery of Growth Factors
- TED® devices are typically paired with serums containing Growth Factors, Peptides and Nutrients essential for hair follicle stimulation
- The device ensures these compounds bypass the outer layer of the scalp efficiently, improving absorption and effectiveness
3) Scalp Stimulation
- The ultrasound waves and micro-pressure create Gentle Mechanical Scalp Stimulation
- This helps:
- Increase Blood Circulation to hair follicles
- Stimulate Cellular Activity around follicles
- Increased Size of Hair Follicles / Shafts … added from Stef’s presentation
- Encourage follicles to enter the Anagen (Growth) Phase of the hair cycle
- Inhibits Depigmentation (May Prevent Gray) … added from Stef’s pres.
- Awakens Melanocytes (May Correct Gray) … added from Stef’s presentation
4) Non-Invasive and Pain-Free – Unlike PRF Injections or Surgical Hair Restoration:
- No Needles
- No Downtime is required
- Treatment is generally Comfortable, with only a mild tingling sensation
5) Treatment Course
- Initial Treatment: For Realistic Results, a Minimum of Three (3) Treatments at Four (4) Week Intervals is Required
- Maintenance:
- Younger Population: Every 6 – 12 Months is Recommended
- Older Population: Every 3 Months May Be Necessary
Treatment is complete when satisfactory results are obtained
