Juan Vlieg

With a free, no-commitment consultation and a follow-up plan extending to 18 months, Dr. Juan Vlieg sets the standard for continuity of care at DHI Panamá (DHI Hair Restoration Clinic). As Medical Director, he personally leads DHI hair restoration using the clinic’s Direct Hair Implantation approach, designed around honest diagnosis and individualized planning. The DHI technique is positioned as a precision method where each follicle is implanted with controlled angle, direction, and depth—aimed at natural, harmonious results. At DHI Panamá, the process is built around the physician’s control from evaluation to implantation, including beard and eyebrow restoration where symmetry and density planning are part of the design. For patients choosing between FUE and DHI, the clinic highlights that the best option depends on the treatment zone, desired density, donor-zone quality, and the physician’s criteria. The clinic also frames DHI as a system supported by DHI Global Medical Group protocols and patented technology, with a single certified physician in charge.
