What to Expect During a TED Hair Treatment

If you’ve been noticing thinning hair, or you just want to get ahead of hair loss, TED™ Hair Restoration is a comfortable, non-surgical option that can help stimulate fuller, thicker-looking hair. 

TED stands for “TransEpidermal Delivery,” which is a cutting-edge system that uses sound waves and air pressure to infuse powerful growth factors and nourishing serums directly into the scalp. This innovative, needle-free technology helps improve scalp health and encourages stronger, healthier-looking hair growth without the pain or downtime of more invasive procedures.

At Beyond Esthetics, we know that trying a new treatment can bring up lots of questions, so we’ve put together a guide of exactly what you can expect during your TED hair treatment journey.

A Personalized Consultation

Every TED treatment begins with a consultation. One of our providers will take the time to discuss your hair concerns, review your medical history, and evaluate your scalp. 

This helps us determine if TED is the right treatment for you and allows us to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

The Treatment Experience

Unlike many other hair restoration options, TED is completely needle-free and pain-free. 

Here’s how the process works:

1. Scalp Preparation – Please arrive with clean, freshly washed hair and scalp, free of any styling products or oils. This ensures your treatment is performed on the cleanest surface possible and allows the TED serum to absorb more effectively.

2. Ultrasound + Air Pressure Technology – The TED device uses sound waves and air pressure to gently open pathways in the skin. This allows our specialized hair care serum, packed with growth factors and nutrients, to be absorbed deep into the scalp.

3. Serum Infusion – The nourishing serum is delivered precisely where it’s needed, helping to support a healthier scalp and encourage stronger, thicker-looking hair growth.

Most clients describe the treatment as relaxing, with a warm, vibrating sensation on the scalp. There are no needles, no discomfort, and no downtime.

After Your Appointment

One of the best parts about TED is that you can return to your normal daily routine immediately after your session with no restrictions and no recovery period. You may feel a slight tingling sensation on your scalp, but this typically subsides quickly.

For best results, a series of treatments is usually recommended, spaced about one month apart. Many clients begin to notice improvements in hair thickness and scalp health within a few weeks, with continued progress over the following months.
