Who is Dr. Gisela D’Atri?
Dr. Gisela D’Atri, also known as “the hair dermatologist”, is much more than a hair implant expert: she is a pioneer who raised the standard of hair medicine in Argentina. With over 15 years of clinical and academic experience, she has established herself as a key figure in the training of new professionals, as well as in the development of effective, safe, and personalized treatments for hair loss.
Founder and medical director of D’Atri Medicina Capilar, a clinic located in the Caballito neighborhood (CABA), her leadership is the driving force behind an interdisciplinary team that combines cutting-edge technology with human warmth. Gisela represents the scientific face of Argentine hair medicine, but also the empathetic heart that accompanies each patient in their personal transformation.
Her commitment doesn’t end in the office: as a teacher, lecturer, and researcher, she has worked tirelessly to promote the learning of trichology in Latin America for several years.
Academic training and international credentials
Dr. D’Atri’s academic excellence is one of the pillars of her reputation. She began her training at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), where she received her medical degree with an Honors Diploma, one of the highest recognitions for academic merit.
Later, she specialized in Dermatology through a demanding residency at the Francisco Javier Muñiz Infectious Diseases Hospital. Her passion for studying hair led her to focus on trichology, an area of dermatology that few in the region mastered at the time.
Today, her credentials include:
- Coordinator of the Trichology Group of the Argentine Society of Dermatology (SAD).
- Director of the Diploma in Trichology of the Ibero Latin American College of Dermatology (CILAD).
- Active member of the American Hair Research Society (AHRS).
- Member of the International Trichoscopy Society,.
- Participation in multiple academic activities and national and international conferences

Pioneer in trichology and FUE Technique
One of Dr. Gisela D’Atri’s greatest contributions to the field of hair medicine has been her role as a pioneer in the implementation and improvement of the FUE Technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) in Argentina.
The FUE Technique represents the evolution of modern hair transplantation: it is minimally invasive, without a scalpel or stitches, and with a Express recovery time. Gisela was one of the first doctors in the country to adopt this approach and adapt it to the specific needs of Latin American patients.
The main innovations of her protocol include:
- Fine-gauge motorized punch (0.8 – 0.9 mm) that allows for precise, almost undetectable extraction.
- Irregular hairline design with fine graftsfor more natural-looking results.
- Combination of FUE with different medical treatments supported by evidence-based medicinethat accelerate regeneration and enhance results.
- Long-term donor site preservation,
“Hair implants are not just cosmetic surgery. They are a strategic medical decision that must accompany comprehensive treatment,” explains the doctor, who always emphasizes the importance of an accurate diagnosis and the use of a transplant as a complement when necessary.
D’Atri Hair Medicine: a clinic with a 360° vision
Founded in 2010 by the D’Atri brothers, D’Atri Medicina Capilar is today one of the reference clinics in Latin America for the treatment of various types of alopecia and professional training in the FUE technique. Under the medical direction of Gisela, the center combines:
- Digital trichoscopic diagnosis, a non-invasive method that allows the scalp and hair to be viewed at high magnification, greatly aids in the differential diagnosis of different types of alopecia, detecting areas of activity, and monitoring. It also allows mapping of hair miniaturization and thinning in very early stages.
- Personalized therapeutic plans, including oral and topical medication, mesotherapy, low-intensity laser, tricopat, and regenerative treatments.
- Conservative surgical treatments, with a focus on natural, harmonious, and long-lasting results.
- Proper Follow-Up
The clinic is not just a care center, but a space for transformation. Each patient is welcomed with an empathetic and humane approach that reflects the family spirit of the D’Atri brothers.
Education and training of professionals
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Gisela D’Atri is a passionate educator. For years, she has led numerous academic activities in the field of trichology and the Intensive FUE Technique Course, a high-level training proposal that has trained more than 450 health professionals in several countries.
The course is divided into two modules:
- Module 1: Transmission of excellent theoretical knowledge with the latest updates.
- Module 2: Practice on real patients, where the student carries out strategic designs, follicular extraction and graft placement under permanent teaching guidance in volunteer patients supervised by an entire team.
The approach is hands-on, with small groups (max. 4 people), and each student has the direct supervision of Gisela, Ramiro and Florencia (the other featured directors) along with their surgical team. Additionally, graduates receive post-course support and access to personalized mentoring.
“Our goal is not just to teach a technique, but to train professionals capable of transforming their patients’ lives.”
