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.

DHI Panamá — Hair Restoration Clinic: more details about the clinic
Panama, Panama
DHI Panamá is a private hair restoration clinic in Panama City. It focuses solely on Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) techniques. The clinic was established in 1970 and belongs to the DHI Global Medical Group. This international network spans 75 clinics across 42 countries.
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.

I came to the DHI clinic to see what could be done about the issue with my hairline and dandruff, which I felt was beyond fixing. They completely calmed my dandruff with a treatment and also performed a hair transplant that turned out excellent. What I like most is that they continue treating you to maintain the strengthening of the grafts. I’m currently going to my second treatment of capillary plasma, which also strengthened the grafts that were already placed during the surgery. I recommend this clinic, which is completely professional—the kind of professionalism that’s needed for this type of procedure.

Excellent clinic for hair transplant. I had to do two days of sessions and honestly it was not traumatic at all. The care team and the doctor are highly recommended.

The experience was incredible—they were very attentive. The midday food was delicious, and the procedure was 100% reliable. In 3 months I already had hair, and by 6 months it was almost 100% full. No scars, and I was always guided by the clinic staff!! Recommended.

What can I say ... I bought myself ten years back (that's what the OTHERS say). I did a hair transplant already 8 years ago in my early 40s in Germany (tonsure area only) and was maybe 70% happy with the result. Now, with 50, receding hairline kept advancing so I decided to give it another try and found DHI Panama. I liked how I was not rushed into the transplant - Dr. Juan Vlieg decided to rather strengthen and thicken my hairs with a Minoxidil therapy over 6 months (makes no sense to remove thin hair ...) before we met again for the transplant. Also after the transplant we supported the result with proper medication and haircare products. The aftercare is an aspect I really appreciate - You will see the Doctor avery several times after the transplant to overview the recovery process and to adjust medication. Overall - I am superhappy the result, and the way I was treated. This is a 1-to-1 doctor-patient experience, rather than a mass processing routine that are offered in clinics in Turkey etc.
The result is breathtaking. You will get looks and people will ask you "Jeez what have you done". If you think you could do something with your hair, here you go, it is 100% worth the investment!

From the very first moment I walked into DHI Panamá, I felt like I was in the hands of true professionals. The clinic is spotless, modern, and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The medical team explained the entire process clearly and patiently, answering each of my questions before the procedure.
I chose this clinic because the doctor is internationally certified by the ABHRS, which gave me a lot of confidence. During the transplant, the care and treatment were extremely human and attentive—I didn’t feel any pain, and the procedure was much more comfortable than I had imagined.
The result has exceeded my expectations: my hair growth looks completely natural, with a frontal hairline designed to match my face. In addition, the postoperative follow-up has been excellent; they’re always there and provide personalized recommendations to ensure the best results.
I definitely recommend DHI Panamá to anyone considering a hair transplant. Here you don’t just find advanced technology and experience—you also find genuine warmth and real commitment to the patient.

In the beginning, I had a lot of doubts about taking the step, whether it would really be worth the effort to undergo the procedure. After evaluating different options and researching thoroughly, I decided on DHI Panamá. I currently have 6 months of treatment, and it has been the best thing I’ve been able to do. I’ve had incredible results—the appearance is very natural, and people don’t notice the procedure. The only thing I can say is that you won’t regret it.
