Understanding Female Hair Loss: Androgenetic Alopecia & How Alma TED Can Help

Hair loss isn’t just a concern for men. In fact, up to40% of women experience some degree of hair thinning or loss by age 50 —and the most common cause is a condition called androgenetic alopecia (AGA),or female pattern hair loss (FPHL).

While this condition can be deeply distressing, advancementsin aesthetic technology have brought forward new, non-invasive solutions. Oneof the most promising? The Alma TED system — a needle-free, painlesstreatment designed to revitalize thinning hair.

Let’s explore what AGA is, why it happens, and how Alma TEDoffers a powerful treatment option for women.

💡 What Is AndrogeneticAlopecia in Women?

Androgenetic alopecia in women is a genetically driven,progressive thinning of hair, especially over the crown and part line,while typically preserving the frontal hairline.

Unlike male baldness, women don’t go completely bald.Instead, they experience gradual hair miniaturization—where thickstrands are replaced by thinner, weaker ones.

Common Causes and Contributors:

• Hormonal     changes (e.g., post-pregnancy, menopause)
• Genetics
• Age
• Stress
• Nutrient     deficiencies

🔬 Did You Know?The Ludwig Scale is used to classify female pattern hair loss into mild (TypeI), moderate (Type II), and severe (Type III) stages.

🧴 Traditional Treatments— What Works, What Doesn’t

For years, women have relied on a mix of options withvarying degrees of success:

• Topical     Minoxidil: The only FDA-approved treatment, but it must be applied     daily and can cause scalp irritation.
• Oral     Medications: Options like spironolactone or finasteride are sometimes     used off-label but may have hormonal side effects.
• PRP     (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Effective but requires blood draws and     injections.
• Laser     Therapy: Low-level laser devices can stimulate growth, but results     vary.

While some women benefit from these treatments, many are lookingfor non-invasive, painless options. That’s where Alma TED shines.

🌟 What Is Alma TED?

Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) is a needle-free,ultrasound-based treatment that enhances the delivery of powerfulhair-restoration serums into the scalp.

How It Works:

• Uses ultrasonic     soundwaves + air pressure to open microscopic pathways in the scalp.

• Stimulates     thicker, stronger, and healthier hair growth.
