Home ❯ Blog ❯ Hair Restoration ❯ National Hair Loss Awareness Month: Non-Surgical Hair Restoration in Scottsdale
August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month! Hair loss is far more common than most people realize. Thinning hair affects men and women of every age and hair type. The causes range from genetics and hormones to stress, postpartum changes, nutrition, and the natural process of aging.
At Perfect Dose, we hear the same thing from patients again and again — they noticed more hair in the shower drain or a part line that seemed to be widening, and they assumed there was nothing to be done, but there are many treatments available. The earlier you start, the more hair you have to work with. National Hair Loss Awareness Month is a good excuse to stop waiting.
Why Hair Loss Deserves a Conversation
Hair loss is rarely just cosmetic. It affects how you photograph, how you style, how confident you feel walking into a room. Patients describe skipping ponytails, changing their part, wearing hats more often, or avoiding certain lighting altogether.
It is also treatable — and increasingly, treatable without surgery, needles, or downtime. The field of hair restoration has moved a long way from transplant-or-nothing. Today’s most effective options work by improving scalp health and reactivating follicles that have gone dormant but are still viable. That last detail is why timing matters so much: follicles respond best before they are gone entirely.
AlmaTED: Hair Restoration Without Needles or Downtime
AlmaTED is the cornerstone of our hair restoration program, and it is a genuinely different approach. Instead of injections, AlmaTED uses targeted acoustic sound waves combined with air pressure to improve blood flow to the scalp and drive nutrients down into the hair follicles. Paired with our TED+ formula — a blend of powerful botanicals — it creates the conditions follicles need for stronger, denser regrowth.
There are no needles. There is no numbing, no bleeding, and no trauma to the scalp. Appointments run about 30 minutes, including check-in, photos, and consultation, and you can head straight back to your day afterward.
What AlmaTED Treats
AlmaTED is appropriate for a wider range of concerns than most patients expect:
- Thinning hair and reduced density
- Male and female pattern hair loss
- Receding hairlines
- Postpartum shedding
- Patchy or uneven growth
- Eyebrow and beard thinning
It is suitable for all ages, all hair types, and all hair lengths.
Your AlmaTED Timeline
We recommend a series of three treatments spaced roughly one month apart, then a full four weeks after the third session to properly evaluate results before determining a maintenance plan. Here is what patients typically notice along the way:
- Two weeks: Reduced shedding and the first early signs of new growth
- One month: Noticeable new hair growth becomes visible
- Two months: Increased density and volume
- Three months: Decreased scalp exposure, with thin or bare areas beginning to fill in
Maintenance treatments are generally recommended at the six-month and twelve-month marks. In clinical studies, patients experienced a 20–60% increase in hair count in treated areas following a full series, and AlmaTED is backed by more than 20 published studies supporting its safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction.

PRP/PRF Hair Restoration: Your Body’s Own Growth Factors
For patients who want a regenerative, injection-based approach — or who want to layer therapies — PRP/PRF hair restoration is an excellent option. We draw a small sample of your blood, process it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and deliver it into the scalp where follicles need it most.
We like to call it liquid gold. Think of it as fertilizer for your hair. Because the treatment uses your own tissue, there are no synthetic additives and no compatibility concerns.
PRP/PRF hair restoration is $750 per treatment, and we recommend a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with optimal results developing over a four-to-nine-month window. Since we will be drawing blood, please stay well hydrated for the 24 hours before your appointment.
Looking Beneath the Surface
Sometimes thinning hair is a signal rather than a standalone issue. Hormonal shifts — perimenopause, menopause, thyroid changes, postpartum recovery, testosterone decline — are among the most common contributors to hair loss in both men and women, and treating the scalp alone will only get you so far if the underlying driver goes unaddressed.
This is where our holistic approach matters. Our functional wellness team can evaluate whether bioidentical hormone therapy or nutrient support through wellness shots belongs in your plan. We also carry Plated hair serum, a scientifically formulated at-home option that supports the results you build in-office. The best outcomes almost always come from combining in-office treatment with consistent home care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AlmaTED be combined with other hair loss treatments?
Yes. Because AlmaTED is non-invasive and causes no scarring or recovery delay, it combines well with topical serums, low-level laser therapy, and other complementary approaches. Your provider will map out the right sequence for you.
When can I wash my hair or use styling products again?
You can resume most styling products immediately, though we ask that you avoid harsh chemicals for 24 hours and hold off on washing your hair for the first 24 hours after treatment.
Is hair restoration only for men?
Not at all. Hair loss affects women just as significantly, and a meaningful share of our hair restoration patients are women navigating postpartum shedding, hormonal changes, or gradual thinning at the part line.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
That is exactly what a consultation is for. We will assess your scalp, discuss your history and goals, and build a plan around what is actually driving your hair loss.
Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation
Hair Loss Awareness Month is a reminder, not a deadline — but there is real value in acting sooner rather than later. With the recommended AlmaTED protocol, meaningful regrowth is possible in as little as six weeks.
