Vantis Institute (Vantis) Files Innovative Patent for Aesthetic Medical Treatment


Vantis Institute Announces the Filing of a Provisional Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a New Treatment Procedure that Deposits a Combination of Aesthetic and Therapeutic Agents into the Skin.

Innovation often emerges from unlikely places, and Newport Beach start-up Vantis Institute is making their presence in the medical aesthetics industry known.

The $11.1 billion dollar US hair loss market was disrupted when Vantis launched its non-surgical hair-loss solution in September 2019, called Vantis Follicle Replication (VFR™). Patient acceptance and preference for minimally-invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures are driving growth factors in medical aesthetics.

Clinical Director and Vantis Co-founder Jessica Oslo, an 11-year veteran of the plastic surgery industry, perfected a paramedical micro-pigmentation technique that aesthetically replicates biological hair follicles. This non-invasive procedure offers men and women immediate results for the appearance of a thicker, fuller head of hair without surgery or downtime.

Ms. Oslo previously developed another non-surgical technique known as the Voslo™ method, to conceal scars, recreate nipples and areolas, and visually erase stretch marks.

“We couldn’t have experienced the success we had with our first patent application without the extraordinary help from our legal team at Rutan & Tucker,” said Ms. Oslo. “We’ve grown at a tremendous pace when it comes to establishing our name in the medical aesthetics space, but it was all thanks to the supportive environment in Orange County (OC) for innovative entrepreneurs. Community leaders and companies in our space have laid the groundwork for our success.”

“OC has long been recognized as a global leader in ophthalmology; Octane is now focused on replicating that success in medical aesthetics. The number of new companies with high-quality products and teams, such as Vantis Institute, is required to support the acceleration of this strategy,” said Bill Carpou, CEO of Octane. “OC is the place to start and grow a medical aesthetics company with its proven sources of capital and expertise.”

The aggressive pace Vantis has established isn’t slowing down. The company expects to announce five new locations within the next fifteen months, and is launching a training academy to teach Vantis Follicle Replication™ as well as the Voslo™ method beginning in Spring 2020.

Breaking Boundaries is Key to Avert a Food System Crisis


The Integrated Food Systems Leadership graduate-level certification program.

“If we intend to feed almost 10 billion people by 2050, while assuring a robust, healthy planet for future generations, we must shift to a systems-thinking approach in order to better understand and address the challenges facing our food system,” said Dr. Jennifer van de Ligt.

The University of Minnesota’s Integrated Food Systems Leadership Program (IFSL) is pleased to share ‘Breaking Boundaries to Avoid a Food System Crisis’ in Food Safety Magazine’s February/March issue. The publication’s cover story, authored by IFSL Program Director Dr. Jennifer van de Ligt, delves deep into the boundaries that food system leaders need to break in order to address grand challenges in the global food system.

“Our food system is facing daunting challenges that will require us to break boundaries to avoid a food system crisis,” said Dr. Jennifer van de Ligt, University of Minnesota’s Integrated Food Leadership Program Director. “If we intend to feed almost 10 billion people by 2050, while assuring a robust, healthy planet for future generations, we must shift to a systems-thinking approach in order to better understand and address the challenges facing our food system. The approach and vision shared in this article is the foundation upon which the IFSL program was built upon.”

Designed for working food professionals, the IFSL program expands emerging food system leaders’ knowledge, and exposes them to new and different approaches that help them be more effective in their professions and enables them to have a greater impact on helping address overall food system challenges.

“As a cohort member in the University of Minnesota’s IFSL Program, I’ve been given a window into parts of the food system I wouldn’t have otherwise understood,” said Elleni Paulson, a member of the IFSL program’s inaugural cohort and food system communications professional. “In my professional role, I’m tasked with bringing innovative approaches to our agriculture and food industry clients. Through the IFSL program, I’ve gained knowledge and skills to be an advocate to break down boundaries necessary to support a more effective and sustainable system.”

As highlighted in the Food Safety Magazine article, future food system leaders need to embrace and take holistic actions to address today’s most pressing challenges. Through the University of Minnesota’s IFSL program, the 2020 cohort and future enrollees will strengthen and practice systems-thinking strategies related directly to the food system while improving their leadership skills. This will enable them to lead the change that is essential to sustainably feeding the future.

Global food system stakeholders will receive a copy of the February/March issue of Food Safety Magazine later this month at the 2020 Global Food Safety Initiative annual conference. Attendees at upcoming the Pittcon Conference and The Refrigerated Foods Show will also receive the issue featuring the thought-provoking cover story.

About the University of Minnesota’s Integrated Food Systems Leadership Program

Delivering a comprehensive and actionable educational experience, the University of Minnesota’s Integrated Food Systems Leadership Program (IFSL) broadens the knowledge and understanding of the global food supply chain and interdependencies across the food system, while promoting critical thinking and problem solving across disciplines. IFSL is a Post-Baccalaureate Regents Certificate program designed for working professionals and is aimed at bridging the gap between traditional food system education and a professional leadership program.

For IFSL program inquiries, contact Jennifer van de Ligt at 612-624-2567 or jvandeli@umn.edu. IFSL Program applications are accepted on a rolling basis for the next cohort that begins in September 2020. For more information, visit https://ifsl.umn.edu/.

Integration of Safety, Quality and Experience Efforts Believed to Drive the Best in Healthcare Outcomes


News Image

A new white paper by The Beryl Institute explores the significance of safety strategies in healthcare settings and how these practices influence the patient and clinician experience.

A new white paper by The Beryl Institute explores the significance of safety strategies in healthcare settings and how these practices influence the patient and clinician experience. The Experience of Safety in Healthcare: A Call to Expand Perceptions and Solutions, reflects on the integrated nature of safety and service and how they interact to create the overall experience of patients, families and clinicians.

The paper acknowledges the success, failure and efficiency of all safety efforts is fundamental to the experience of patients and families. In addition, the safety systems in place in an organization directly shape and define the clinician’s experience.

Generated from these concepts, key recommendations in integrating safety and experience are explored:


  • Acknowledge safety as a primary driver for overall experience of both patients and clinicians
  • Approach safety and patient experience through a unified lens
  • Make financial choices that reflect a commitment to the experience of safety
  • Make a conscious, accountable and strategic effort to build a culture of caring
  • Optimize technology to care for the caretakers
  • Engage patient and family voice to lead change and drive future solutions

The paper also examines the inherent relationship patients and families see between safety and service. It further reinforces the opportunity for healthcare organizations to partner with patients to positively impact all aspects of care and reinforces that listening to and engaging patients and families are at the root of improving their experience.

“When we reintroduce humanity to healthcare and the human perspective that it brings, we can no longer overlook the intricately interwoven reality of quality, safety and service,” said Jason Wolf, Ph.D., CPXP, President of The Beryl Institute. “Together, they are the complete experience people have. They are the outcomes we provide, and our actions must not waver from this reality.”

This white paper was developed in partnership with BD. To download the white paper, visit http://www.theberylinstitute.org/?page=WhitePapers.

A soon to be aired episode will interview industry professionals about healthy eating solutions for children.

Children in the United States are facing an obesity problem. An estimated 1 in 5 children and adolescents in the U.S are obese. Those with obesity may face several health issues down the road, such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Medical professionals and those in the health industry are recommending implementing several steps to promote healthy eating habits for children.

Some of these suggestions involve cooking more meals at home in place of eating out. A home-cooked meal will typically have less added sugar and unhealthy trans fats. Another tip is to set an example for kids by demonstrating an interest in minimally processed, whole foods.

Incorporating these healthy habits when a child is young makes it easier for them to maintain a healthy weight as they grow. While many children in the U.S. are facing an obesity epidemic, industry experts believe implementing these solutions and more can promote a healthier life for America’s youth. The new upcoming episode on “Behind The Scenes” will feature experts within the space who are tackling this serious issue and will further explore these healthy eating solutions for children.

New Wildlife Crime Unit cracks down on ivory traffickers in Uganda


A new law enforcement team is stopping wildlife crime in its tracks and creating a model for success in tackling the illegal wildlife trade. Led by the nonprofit, Focused Conservation, the Special Wildlife Crime Unit (SWCU) is a vetted team comprised of investigators, police officers and lawyers who carry out undercover investigations, make arrests and ensure successful prosecutions of wildlife traffickers. Led by the nonprofit, Focused Conservation, the program is a joint initiative with the Uganda Wildlife Authority and Natural Resource Conservation Network with funding provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and USAID.

Each year, an estimated 20,000 African elephants are killed for their tusks. The ivory trade not only threatens the survival of this iconic species, it also undermines national security, destabilizes communities and funds violent extremism across the globe. Uganda is one of the most common wildlife trafficking transit points in Central and East Africa.

Since launching in July 2019, the SWCU has carried out 120 operations across every part of Uganda and most of East Africa. Employing data-driven techniques, these undercover operations have led to 40 arrests and the seizure of 3/4 ton of ivory.

In addition to signaling to wildlife traffickers that the game has changed, the SWCU is also cracking down on corruption, one of the major drivers of the illegal wildlife trade. On February 11th, undercover SWCU officers arrested a serving Ugandan police officer who was attempting to sell ivory as well as pangolin scales, another illegal wildlife product.

In a letter of recognition regarding Focused Conservation’s efforts, David Hubbard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent in Charge of International Operations, said “Focused Conservation has selected, vetted and trained a cadre of law enforcement officers that are quickly becoming the backbone of Uganda’s international wildlife trafficking efforts. The SWCU has become a model of success in building national partners’ investigative and prosecution skills, along with building regional and international cooperation among neighboring countries and other non-governmental organizations operating in the international wildlife trafficking field.”

Focused Conservation is a nonprofit organization that is working with governments and law enforcement agencies to bring wildlife traffickers to justice. For more information or to support their work please visit: http://www.focusedconservation.org.

Pulse Light Clinic gives insight on how facial hair is a hormonal area to treat and can be the most common place for stimulated hair growth


Facial hair is a hormonal area to treat and can be the most common place for stimulated hair growth.

It is extremely rare for individuals receiving laser hair removal treatments to develop more hair, rather than less. Most hair stimulation cases if found are usually located on the facial area of the body as this can be a very hormonal area to treat. Research has shown that up to 90% of clients will experience little or up to no hair growth at all with the months to follow after treatments. However, in some cases you can experience an adverse effect where more hair grows. This is known as “Paradoxical Hypertrichosis” (Hair Stimulation) a condition that is not completely understood but allows the hair to grow back faster and thicker than usual. Although there is no scientific explanation as to why this may happen in laser hair removal clients, there are a few factors that may contribute.

These factors may be things hypothesised such as the strength of the laser light (low energy) and how much energy is being transferred through the skin to penetrate the bulb/root of hair. When looking into the theory of photo thermolysis the hair follicle and surrounding cells are usually destroyed at the temperature of 65 degrees, in theory anything below 65 degrees could possibly contribute to more growth. Often during treatments, it is possible that the hair is only heated to around 45 degrees usually when the client may be feeling strong discomfort and finding the area being treated rather painful. However at this temperature it is likely for the hair to stimulate as there is not enough energy to destroy the bulb, usually the practitioner is able to hear a great reaction by listening for the “snap” and the client can anticipate a great reaction by feeling the “snap”.
