At Lotus Laser Aethetics in Sartell and Isle, MN, we offer hyaluronic (HA) dermal fillers to restore lost volume, and soften lines — all while keeping your results balanced and natural.
As we age, collagen, elasting, and hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to volume loss, fine lines, and sagging. HA fillers replinish that lost hydration and structure, helping you look refreshed — not overdone.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and binds to moisture. When strategically injected, HA fillers:

Longevity – Results typically last 6-18 months depending on the area treated and product used.
The consultation begins with a detailed assessment where the injector reviews your medical history, examines your facial anatomy, and discusses your aesthetic goals to ensure safe candidacy. They then perform precise facial mapping—marking key anatomical landmarks and treatment zones—to guide strategic filler placement for natural, balanced results.
The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid gel into targeted facial areas using fine needles or cannulas to restore volume, smooth lines, or enhance contours with precise, controlled placement guided by anatomical landmarks. The injector then gently molds the filler to ensure even distribution and natural integration
Results are visible immediately and minimal downtime afterward.
You can typically repeat hyaluronic acid dermal fillers every 6–18 months, depending on the area treated, the specific product used, and how quickly your body metabolizes it. Some areas like lips may need touch‑ups sooner, while structural areas like cheeks or jawline often last longer before needing maintenance treatment.
They are fully reversible, meaning they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if adjustments are needed.
Most people describe HA dermal fillers as mildly uncomfortable rather than truly painful, thanks to the use of topical numbing cream and the built‑in lidocaine found in many fillers. You may feel brief pressure, stinging, or a pinch during injection, but the sensation is typically very tolerable and fades quickly.
1. Before Treatment:
Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or herbal supplements (unless approved by your doctor) to reduce the risk of bruising.
Limit alcohol consumption, as it can increase bruising.
Avoid anti-aging topical treatments like retinoids or exfoliating acids on the treatment areas to minimize skin sensitivity.
Inform your provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or previous facial procedures.
2. The day of the procedure:
Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, lotion, or oils.
Avoid heavy exercise or heat exposure immediately before the appointment.
Wear comfortable clothing if your neck or shoulders will be involved.
Be prepared to discuss your treatment goals and areas of concern with your provider.
