The Science Behind Alma TED
When it comes to hair restoration, results don’t come from a single ingredient - they come from synergy. Alma TED Hair Restoration works by delivering a powerful peptide-rich serum deep into the scalp, creating an environment where hair follicles can repair, awaken, and grow.
Three of the most important peptides in the Alma TED serum are VEGF, aFGF, and Copper Tripeptide-1, aka GHK-Cu. Each plays a unique role, and together they address some of the most common causes of hair loss: poor circulation, weakened follicles, inflammation, and slowed regeneration.
Let’s break them down.
VEGF: Improving Blood Flow to the Follicles
VEGF stands for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. This peptide is essential for healthy circulation.
What VEGF Does
Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels
Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles
Supports stronger, thicker hair growth
Hair follicles are highly active structures that require a constant blood supply. When circulation is poor, follicles become undernourished, shrink, and eventually stop producing healthy hair.
Why It Matters for Hair Loss
Many people experiencing thinning hair have reduced scalp circulation. VEGF helps restore that blood flow, ensuring follicles receive the nutrients they need to stay active and productive.
aFGF: Activating Growth and Repair
aFGF stands for Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor. This peptide is deeply involved in cellular repair and regeneration.
What aFGF Does
Stimulates cell growth and renewal
Helps repair damaged or weakened follicles
Encourages follicles to remain in the growth (anagen) phase
Hair loss often occurs when follicles become dormant or stuck in the resting phase. aFGF helps “wake up” these follicles by supporting healthy cell signaling and regeneration.
Why It Matters for Hair Loss
By strengthening the follicle at a cellular level, aFGF supports longer growth cycles and healthier hair strands, especially in areas affected by thinning.
Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu): Healing, Strengthening & Anti-Inflammation
Copper Tripeptide-1, also known as GHK-Cu, is one of the most studied peptides in hair and skin health.
What Copper Tripeptide-1 Does
Reduces inflammation in the scalp
Supports collagen and tissue repair
Strengthens the follicle structure
Protects follicles from oxidative stress
Inflammation is an often-overlooked contributor to hair loss. A stressed, inflamed scalp creates a hostile environment for growth.
Why It Matters for Hair Loss
Copper Tripeptide-1, or GHK-Cu, helps restore balance to the scalp, creating a healthier foundation where follicles can thrive rather than struggle.
How These Peptides Work Together
Individually, each peptide plays an important role - but together, they create a comprehensive approach to hair restoration:
VEGF improves circulation and nutrient delivery
aFGF activates growth and follicle repair
Copper Tripeptide-1 GHK-Cu calms inflammation and strengthens the scalp
This combination addresses hair loss from multiple angles at once, which is why Alma TED is so effective - especially in early to moderate stages of thinning.
And because Alma TED uses TransEpidermal Delivery (TED) technology, these peptides are delivered without needles, pain, or downtime, making treatment both effective and comfortable.
Peptides Are Ideal for Non-Invasive Hair Restoration
Peptides work with your body, not against it. Instead of forcing growth, they signal the scalp and follicles to return to healthy function, making them an ideal option for those seeking natural-looking, sustainable results.
