Hair Loss & Thinning Treatment in Calgary
Hair loss is easiest to treat early while follicles are shrinking, not gone. Skinfluence Medical Spa in SW Calgary offers Alma TED™, a needle-free hair restoration treatment that uses ultrasound-based technology to drive a growth-factor serum into the scalp. No injections, no pain, no downtime and visible improvement in shedding and density for most clients within a few months.
Why hair thins?
The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia hereditary pattern hair loss which affects roughly half of men by 50 and a large share of women, especially after menopause. Follicles progressively miniaturize, producing thinner, shorter hairs before going dormant. Other common contributors include telogen effluvium (temporary shedding after stress, illness, childbirth, or rapid weight loss), nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, B12), thyroid conditions, and tension from tight hairstyles. Identifying the driver matters, because treatment works best on follicles that are weakened, not dead.
How Alma TED Hair Restoration Works
Who is a good candidate?
TED works best for early-to-moderate thinning: a widening part, thinning crown or temples, post-partum or post-stress shedding, and general loss of density. It cannot revive completely bald, shiny areas where follicles have died and we’ll tell you honestly at your consultation if that’s what we see. Both men and women are treated.
Results and timeline
Shedding typically decreases within the first month or two. New growth and visible density improvements build from months two to four, with photographs at each visit to track progress objectively. Because hair grows slowly, consistency across the full series is what produces results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Alma TED actually work?
Clinical studies and in-clinic results show reduced shedding and measurable improvements in hair density and thickness for most suitable candidates within 2–4 months. The honest caveat: it works on weakened follicles, not dead ones which is why early treatment matters and why we assess candidacy first, free.
Q. Is Alma TED painful?
Most clients describe it as a warm, vibrating scalp massage. There’s no numbing required and no downtime.
Q. How is TED different from PRP for hair loss?
PRP requires blood draws and scalp injections; TED is completely needle-free, using ultrasound to deliver growth factors through the skin. Most clients find TED far more comfortable, with comparable goals: waking up dormant follicles and thickening existing hair.
Q. How much does hair restoration cost in Calgary?
Cost depends on the treatment area and number of sessions in your protocol. We provide exact pricing at your free consultation after assessing your scalp.
