Consultation with a physician in Dharma Hair
About the clinic
Dr. David Delgado, a plastic surgeon, leads hair-loss evaluations at Dharma Hair in Medellín, Colombia. The 40–60-minute assessment uses digital trichoscopy and scalp mapping.
It classifies alopecia as androgenetic, diffuse, traction, or cicatricial and stages it using the Norwood-Hamilton or Ludwig scale. The assessment also covers donor-area follicular density, hair calibre, extraction viability, scalp condition, medical history, and patient goals.
Patients receive a hair-loss diagnosis and stage. Evaluations take place in person or by video for international patients.
Dr. Delgado has over 10 years of surgical experience, fellowship training in hair restoration, and membership in the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. The facility is registered with the Antioquia Health Department and operates under Colombia’s Invima-regulated framework.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Dharma Hair: more details about the clinic
Medical Leadership and Team
The clinic is physician-led under the direction of Dr. David Delgado. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 10 years of experience. Dr. Delgado is also a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP). He oversees every case to ensure graft distribution respects natural facial proportions.
The medical team includes Dr. Andrés Arango Gallo, an aesthetic physician specializing in hair loss treatments. These specialists manage the entire clinical journey from first evaluation to final implantation. Surgeons personally design the hairline and graft placement direction for every patient.
Hair Restoration Specialties
The clinic focuses on hair transplantation using manual and robotic-assisted techniques. Specialists perform sessions involving up to 4,500 grafts. The medical team chooses the method based on donor area density and hair-loss patterns.
Primary surgical and therapeutic methods include:
- ARTAS iX robotic hair transplant
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Hair mesotherapy with micro-injections of vitamins and growth factors
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to support hair density
- Topical finasteride as an alternative to oral medication
Technology supports the surgeon rather than replacing them. This ensures consistency during repetitive stages of graft extraction. Doctors use standardized photography to document and track visible progress over 12 months.
Advanced Technologies and Equipment
The clinic uses the ARTAS iX robotic system for high-precision follicular unit extraction. This platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze the scalp in real time. The AI identifies suitable follicular units by calculating their density, thickness, and orientation. This precision helps avoid the linear scars often left by traditional strip surgery.
Operating rooms are equipped with specific tools for extended restoration sessions:
- Advanced magnification systems for visual support
- Calibrated micro-punch instrumentation for manual extraction
- Environmental controls for graft preservation
- Digital trichoscopy for detailed scalp and hair analysis
Specialists also use INDIBA technology in post-procedure protocols. This supports tissue healing during the specialized washing phase.
International Patient Care
Dharma Hair regularly treats patients from the United States, Canada, and Spain. The clinic offers virtual assessments to review medical histories before patients travel. This remote process helps doctors guide patients on their options before arrival.
Services for international travelers include:
- Bilingual communication in English and Spanish
- Procedures coordinated within a scheduled time window
- Remote follow-up consultations once the patient returns home
- Detailed post-procedure guidance for washing and activity
The clinic provides a clear timeline for recovery and growth. Initial healing of the transplanted area typically occurs within 7 to 10 days. New hair growth starts around the third month. Final results develop fully between 9 and 12 months.
