Alopecia Treatment in DHI Panamá — Hair Restoration Clinic
About the clinic
Alopecia treatment at DHI Panamá in Panama City centers on the specialized Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technique performed by specialists certified by ABHRS and ISHRS. Surgical options may cost around $1,000 for mild cases, while scalp transplants typically run between $3,000 and $5,000. All-inclusive medical tourism packages are available for around $5,700, covering the procedure, hotel stay, and airport transfers.
Advanced hair restoration methods
The clinic is known for the DHI technique, which uses a patented implanter tool. This method allows for precise control of the depth, direction, and angle of every hair. It requires no scalpel or sutures, which helps patients recover quickly and achieve natural-looking results. Dr. Juan Vlieg leads the medical team with over 10 years of experience and has performed thousands of hair transplants. Dr. Juan Vlieg received training from the London Hair Restoration Academy and holds active membership in the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).
- DHI hair transplant. This outpatient procedure takes 6 to 10 hours. It provides natural density without linear scarring.
- FUE hair transplant. This method uses a micro-punch tool for follicular unit extraction. It is a minimally invasive choice for those seeking minimal scarring.
- Beard and eyebrow restoration. The clinic uses DHI protocols to restore hair density in facial areas.
Non-surgical regenerative therapies
For patients with thinning hair or dormant follicles, the clinic provides several needle-based therapies to stimulate growth. These treatments often use a Dermapen or micro-injections to deliver nutrients directly to the scalp.
- PRFCC therapy. This concentrate of growth factors is injected into the scalp to strengthen existing hair.
- Exosome therapy. This treatment uses cellular regeneration signals to revive follicles through microneedling.
- PRP and mesotherapy. These options use platelet-rich plasma or vitamin cocktails to nourish the scalp and improve hair health.
Diagnostics and patient care
Before any procedure, patients undergo a digital dermatoscopy and an in-person scalp evaluation. These steps help the medical team design a natural hairline tailored to the patient's features. International patients can start the process with a free virtual consultation by sharing photos or videos of their hair loss. The all-inclusive package makes travel easier by including local transportation and lodging, leaving only flights for the patient to arrange. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to receive a personalized evaluation.

Specialist Credentials and Recognition
The clinic follows a single-certified physician model. Dr. Juan Vlieg serves as Medical Director and leads all procedures. He is the only physician in Panama with ABHRS certification from the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. Dr. Vlieg also holds active membership in the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).
In 2025, the facility was recognized as a top hair transplant clinic in the region. The medical team follows DHI Total Care System protocols developed through the London Hair Restoration Academy. The doctor manages every stage – from diagnosis to implantation.
Hair Restoration and Transplantation
DHI Panamá specializes in follicle-by-follicle restoration for men and women. The Direct Hair Implantation method skips incisions and sutures entirely. Surgeons extract follicles one by one and place them directly into the scalp. This gives precise control over angle, direction, and depth of each hair.
The clinic performs several restorative procedures using this method:
- Full scalp hair transplantation
- Beard and mustache restoration
- Eyebrow reconstruction
- Hairline and temple redesign
Documented outcomes include cases with over 8,900 implanted hairs for full transplants. Beard restoration has involved more than 7,600 implanted follicles. Most procedures are outpatient, performed under local anesthesia in a single day.
Scalp Therapies and Non-Surgical Care
The clinic offers therapies to improve hair density and follicle health. These work alone or alongside surgical restoration. PRP Capilar uses the patient's own plasma to stimulate growth. Specialized variants like PRGF and PRFCC growth factor concentrates are also available.
Additional options include:
- Mesotherapy applied with a Dermapen to create microchannels for nutrients
- Info Red red light therapy for pattern baldness
- GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) therapy
- Exosome therapy for scalp rejuvenation at the cellular level
These methods strengthen existing hair and speed recovery after transplants. The team tracks long-term progress through monthly follow-up monitoring.
Technology and Safety Protocols
Procedures use the patented DHI Implanter tool. Its diameter of 1 mm or less allows high precision. This helps transplanted hair blend naturally with existing growth patterns. All treatments take place in sterile rooms with disposable, single-use instruments.
International Patient Services
DHI Panamá offers a structured program for patients traveling from abroad. The process starts with a virtual consultation and photo-based evaluation. Staff coordinate trip planning and recommend lodging in Panama City. International packages typically include hotel accommodations and airport transfers.
Post-operative care covers the first recovery days before patients fly home. The clinic then provides remote follow-up through direct contact and photo reviews. This support continues throughout the 12-month growth cycle.
