SYNOPSIS: Superior results compared to other treatments. Highest recommendation. Check out their IG: @vantisinstitute_ for before and after pics! INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Losing one's hair is a bit of a gut-punch to most guys; I know it certainly was for me. I started losing my hair around 18 years old and the decline was rather steep. Before I knew it, I had a huge bald spot at only 23 years old! I used the Bosley procedure at that time, and achieved, frankly, disappointing results considering the cost. Within a few years you couldn't even tell that I had had the procedure with the exception of a giant scar on the back of my head. I lived with a considerable diminution of self-esteem as a result of my bald spot that was only exacerbated after my divorce. Taking the step to walk through the doors at Vantis took some courage in and of itself, but oh was it worth it! I was greeted at each visit by the wonderful Vantis staff (Tav is great!): gorgeous, friendly, non-judging professional women who really are there to help you achieve your goal of looking as young as you are/feel. Comfort attends every detail through the process. As an affluent young professional I was very impressed by the sheer style and class of the office, and the great women working there. PROCEDURE: Jess and Kim were my specialists, and I couldn't be more pleased! I hate to short-change them by referring to them in tandem, but they were almost always both in the room at the same time. They project a complete command of the subject matter--Virtual Follicle Replication--and guide you through the entire process to ensure your comfort before they begin. Once they do, they employ the kindest bedside manner. They consistently check on your comfort and pain level while Tav regularly offers refreshments. If you've ever had a tattoo, consider that the baseline of the procedure, but with much, much more quiet devices, and considerably less pain thanks to the numbing gel and Jess and Kim's very gentle technique. Most of the time they would work together; each taking a hemisphere of the head (likely to maximize procedural impact while reducing time spent). ETCETERA: If you aren't much for conversation, the massive LG 4K flat screen TV is loaded with various streaming services that you are free to command. Personally, I enjoyed the experience of chatting and getting to know Jess and Kim, and even picking out programs that we would all enjoy together. I honestly spent so much time laughing at various stand-up comedy specials and cracking jokes with the girls that the days really felt more like spending time being pampered by funny, beautiful women than it did getting a procedure of any kind. RESULTS: The results are night and day!!! My hair hasn't looked this full since I was a kid!!! I couldn't possibly be more pleased by the outstanding results; I am elated! My coworkers have all given me pride-boosting compliments on how good my hair looks, and how natural everything blends. It's a real shot in the arm for my confidence, and I am so grateful for the aesthetic eye that Jess and Kim possess in order to make it look so fantastic. Thank you for the remarkable experience, Jess, Kim, and Tav!! read more

When I was a baby I was born without a soft spot so I had to have emergency surgery so I have a scar from the front to the back of my scalp. I have always hated it so I reached out to Vantis because I was always self conscience. I kept seeing their instagram posts @vantisinstitute_ and the results are insane! I mention to people I have a scar but with my haircut even close up you cannot even tell I ever had a scar down the back of my head! I only had to do two treatments. My pic below is just after the first treatment. Jessica's attention to detail and bedside manner is like no other. She is so easy to work with and intelligent. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

No one answers their phone or responses to the text messages. Their Follicle Replication treatment seems promising, and I wanted to give it a try. I called the number listed on their website yesterday to schedule a consultation, but no one answered the phone, it simply routed the call to a generic voicemail without any greetings or other information that might be helpful. Then I decided to fill out the Schedule Consultation form on their website, selected a time, and asked to be contacted via text message. But when I clicked on the Submit button, I did not get any confirmation stating the form was submitted. But I did receive a text message (from the same number listed on their website) that sounded very encouraging and stated looking forward to meeting you for the initial 15-minute consultation, but it did not specify what time on the text message. I live two hours from Newport Beach and I don't want to drive all the way there for an initial 15-minute consultation, so I sent a reply asking for some clarifications and if we can have the initial consultation over the phone or video chat. I never got a reply back. I also never got a call at the time I selected for the appointment either. I called them again and was routed to the same voicemail. I also sent them an email (listed on their website), and no one has replied yet. I tried again to schedule an appointment for today, with the same disappointing results. This is a terrible first impression. They have a professional looking website with a lot of promises, but no follow throughs. This makes me wonder if they are still in business considering they don't even have a toll free number, and their most recent Yelp review was over a year ago. But still... it would be helpful if someone answered their phone or bothered to reply back to client inquiries. read more

I started to notice my hair thinning in my early 20's and now that I'm in my 30's I've been forced to pretty much shave my head in order to hide my hairline. I've tried many creams and medicines to reach grow my hair with no luck. I was skeptical when I heard about this procedure I was a little skeptical but figured , what do I have to loose? Well fast forward to today and I feel like a new man. I look in the mirror and see a younger me!! How can you put a price tag on it that? These people seriously can work some magic that is simply mind blowing. Very satisfied customer!!! read more

Like a lot of guys, I'm on a journey to manage hair loss. And premature aging. My personal experience was with Jessica, one of the owners. Without going into too much detail, I've had disappointing consultations with other groups so far. But Vantis is exceptional. her overall willingness to walk me through the many aspects I am not familiar with and don't understand yet was a huge confidence builder for me moving forward with their services. And very grateful for how I was referred to them. Thank you Jessica, and see you again soon! read more

For years I have suffered with thinning hair. It has been something that has plagued my life since my early 20s. There were multiple times where my clients would make comments and "try to help" me with remedies they knew of to help with thinning hair, which would make me feel so embarrassed that it led me to tears. It has been something that has made me so self-conscious that there were times I wouldn't go out because I couldn't fix my hair in a way to cover the thinning. I was given the greatest opportunity to work with Vantis Institute. They have changed my life. Jess is so knowledgeable and taught me so much. Female hair loss and thinning is such a taboo topic that is not talked about enough in my opinion. When I was at the early age of 25 I was already considering getting a hair transplant! After meeting with Jess she explained to me how so many women have hair loss and thinning and there are no permanent options for them. Women don't have as much of an opportunity to get hair transplants compared to men so they are stuck with dealing it, however now there is thanks Jess and the rest of the ladies having created VFR. I am so grateful for the work they've done and the huge difference it's made in my life and my confidence in myself. I would highly recommend reaching out to them if you want to change your life. Thank you so much Jess, Kimberly and the rest of the amazing ladies at Vantis for making me feel so comfortable and loved every time I walked in. You have no idea how much you have changed my life for the better. read more

I'm 29 years old and I have been struggling with hair loss since I was 16. Hair loss runs on both sides of my family so I when I started to notice my hair was thinning I knew I was headed for complete baldness. As soon as I was 18 I started taking Propecia and Rogaine to slow down my hair loss and hopefully gain some back. It helped, but you could still see my scalp through my hair so I would carefully style my hair every morning to hide my hair loss and conceal my scalp. I tried a hair powder to help my hair look thicker but it would leave residue on my hands and neck and it would wash out. I wanted a more permanent solution, which lead me to scalp micropigmentation. It's permanent like a tattoo but it's pigment instead of ink, which is better for the scalp because the color will never turn green or blue. It conceals my scalp by mimicking my hair follicles. I've had a tattoo before so I expected this scalp micropigmentation procedure to be similar, but it was way more comfortable than a tattoo. I sat in a cozy lounge chair and watched TV while the practitioner Jessica did her thing, and she did a great job. I saw immediate results after the first session and I was able to go back to work the next day. My coworkers didn't believe me when I told them I had something done to my scalp, because of how natural it looks. Jessica did a great job blending the pigment in with my hair. My hair looks fuller and you can't see my bright white scalp shining through my hair anymore. I definitely recommend any man (or woman, I'm sure) who is dealing with hair loss to consider scalp micropigmentation because it's a permanent solution. You don't have to apply it every day like a powder, it's just always there. If you're completely bald then it'll look like you have very closely cropped hair, which for me is a better alternative than looking bald. read more

See all

So glad I made this decision! I had issues with thinning hair and decided to do SMP. I'm so thrilled with the results and can't even believe what a difference it made. The staff here is very friendly and answered all my crazy questions. Thank you guys!!! read more

Jessica and Kim are very knowledgeable and were able to answer every question I had with confidence. The results were amazing. My barber is still surprised at the results every time I see her. The office is meticulously clean, and they treated me extremely well. Tavianas coordinated my visits perfectly, always willing to work with me when I had a problem with scheduling. I highly recommend Vantis! read more

Jessica is doing an amazing job on reducing the appearance of some scars I have! The office environment is top notch and so is the customer service! read more

If you've ever had to wear a baseball cap to outdoor events to hide your thinning hair then you know my story. I'm the guy that wishes he could go without the cap but chooses to cover up most of the time. When I went to Vantis I was skeptical but trusted the clinical directors opinion. She knows what she's doing and WOW what a difference! I'm no longer wearing the caps all the time, I'm looking younger and feeling like this was the best option because it's a great optical illusion that in fact makes your hair look dense which is what I wanted. The procedure is totally worth every penny. Thanks Vantis! read more

As of 1 month ago I found out about Vantis Institute. I have been experiencing hair loss since I was 21 years old and I am 25 now. I've been searching and have tried many things and spent a lot of wasteful money for no results. After just 3 sessions I feel like a brand new me. I no longer feel the need to wear a hat everyday and also have my high school hairline back. The pain was tolerable and they have a huge TV so you kinda zone out with Netflix hahaha. Overall, I give them a ten out of ten. You should give them a try. read more

Before this procedure, i was miserable and mortified going outside in public without a hat on, which no man ever wants to admit. I am 7 days out from my 3rd and final session at Vantis, and I have to say the results has exceeded my expectations by far. For the past 5 years I have tried every medication, supplement, and hair product out there to try and conceal my thinning hair with not much luck. I was desperate and even tried PRP for a full year with very minimal results and a big chunk taken out of my pocket$$. As my hair started to get worse, I started looking into other hair loss options, but they either seemed way too invasive for my liking, or the results were not worth the price. After hearing about Vantis through the Jay Campbell podcast, I knew instantly that this was the perfect option for me. The consultation process with effortless and they immediately made me feel at ease through a very vulnerable and uncomfortable situation. I can not thank Jessica, Kim, and Tav enough for making me feel right at home and giving me my confidence back. I have never been happy with my hair until now, so thank you for everything!! read more

Once I turned 56, my hairline started to thin.  I found myself wearing hats to cover my scalp and lost confidence. I disliked taking pictures as it was harder to look at myself as my hair receded.  I tried everything but at the end of the day, nothing seemed to help. I tried covering the receding area in the front of my scalp with tinted sprays, colored hair thickeners and hair building fibers, only to be disappointed that this temporary solution was time consuming and noticeable. Especially if you want to swim as it would all wash away.  Or leave marks on your pillow. I then found the Vantis Institute online and I was intrigued. The staff were very kind, understanding and extremely professional.  The procedure was done in a very comfortable environment with hardly any discomfort.  You immediately notice the results.  Now my hair looks full, and I look ten years younger. I don't have to spend an hour fixing my hair or worrying about wearing a hat.  For those experiencing hair loss, it can be emotionally traumatic.   This procedure can be a great alternative to those interested in hair transplants and for those who have had hair transplants, this can actually make them look more natural. They can also hide scarring. I definitely recommend Vantis and it is one of the best decisions I have made. read more

I am a 60 year old female that began losing hair on the side of my head, along the hairline shortly after going through menopause. And just a lot of stress. I have always had very thick hair so this was quite devastating for me. I could not wear my hair up ,because I was so self conscious of people noticing. I started looking into options for female hair thinning. It was very discouraging to see how little options there, were outside hair transplant. Which I was not mentally ready for. I saw a ad on Facebook for Vantis and was hoping they also treated women's hair loss. I made a appointment And spoke to the clinical director, who said they could help me. She was so informative and showed me multiple pictures of women she has treated, with the same problem. Fast forward after 2 sessions and I can proudly say I can wear my hair up again without even thinking twice about it . I got my femininity back and I couldn't be happier! I wish I would have known about about Vantis Institute years earlier. All I can say is it truly has been life changing for me. I highly recommend to anyone that feels that their hair is aging them,or feels like nothing can be done ,there is hope. The clinical director and office staff are amazing. read more

The office is spotless. The staff is friendly. The technician, Jessica, is a true professional. And most importantly the results far exceeded my expectations. After 20 years of thinning hair and a bald spot, I now feel a new sense of confidence. I used to wear a hat most of the time and no longer feel the need to. This was a minimally invasive procedure that created maximum results! I can not recommend it highly enough. read more

I just finished a treatment here at Vantis, I couldn't be more happier! Jessica assisted me today and made me feel so comfortable. I've been wanting to get this treatment done for a long time and I'm so happy I chose to do it, so excited to see the results! read more
