DHI hair transplantation in DHI Panamá — Hair Restoration Clinic
About the clinic
DHI hair transplantation at DHI Panamá in Panama City typically costs around $3,000 for a minimum procedure. This treatment is led by Dr. Juan Vlieg, the only surgeon in Panama certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. Patients benefit from the patented Direct Hair Implantation technique that avoids scalpels and stitches.
Advanced DHI Technique
The clinic uses the Direct Hair Implantation method. This process uses a specialized tool to place hair follicles directly into the scalp. The doctor controls the angle, depth, and direction of every hair. This precision helps create a natural look that matches your original hair growth. Because there are no incisions or sutures, you will not have a linear scar. The donor area usually heals in 3 to 5 days, and any redness disappears within a week.

DHI Panamá — Hair Restoration Clinic: more details about the clinic
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.
