What is DHI?

At DHI Panama, we don't just transplant hair; we restore confidence using a proprietary method perfected at the DHI Hair Restoration Academy of London. Every procedure is performed entirely by certified doctors—not technicians—ensuring the highest success rate in the industry. Our "Direct" technique means follicles are implanted immediately after extraction, minimizing time out of the body and maximizing growth.

How does the DHI Technique work?

With the DHI technique, the follicles are implanted one by one directly into the area suffering from alopecia. In addition, with the help of our exclusive implantation tool, each follicle is implanted in a specific direction, angle, and depth.

HypoThermosol® Graft Preservation

While many clinics use basic saline, DHI Panama uses HypoThermosol®, a specialized bio-preservation solution used in major organ transplants.

The "No-Incision" Advantage

In standard transplants, incisions are made before implantation. DHI eliminates this trauma using a patented DHI Implanter that places follicles directly into the skin.

Minimal Manipulation

Traditional FUE requires hair follicles to be dissected under a microscope, leading to over-manipulation and graft failure. DHI avoids this entirely.

Minimum Time Out

Follicle manipulation and time outside the scalp are minimized, stimulating viability and achieving one of the best success rates in the industry.

What is the DHI implanter?

The DHI Implanter is a tool designed to precisely place each follicle in the area affected by baldness. It allows full control over direction, depth & angle, increasing follicle survival and ensuring a natural look.

How quickly does the DHI procedure heal?

The DHI technique is minimally invasive, with no linear scars. Patients return to work practically the next day, including US patients traveling from Texas, Georgia and Florida.

Conservation

The follicles are separated according to the number of hairs in each graft and kept at 4 to 8°C. The grafts are placed in a hypo-thermosol solution to ensure less trauma and a high survival rate.
