Since we first opened in July 2020 in the heart of downtown Sarasota, our mission has and will always be the same: to provide our patients with enhancement of their natural beauty using evidence-based aesthetic treatments.

Chelsea Vacca, MSN, APRN-C, is the owner and lead-injector at Lotus Aesthetics and Wellness. She is a board-certified nurse practitioner, specializing in aesthetic medicine with a background in emergency medicine, plastic surgery, trauma and neurology. She graduated with her Master's of Science in Nursing from Nova Southeastern University, and Bachelor's in Nursing from University of Central Florida with over 10 years of experience in medicine.  She greatly values continuing education and attends several aesthetic conferences annually to bring new knowledge and techniques to Lotus Aesthetics. 

Chelsea has trained with both Allergan and Galderma, focusing on facial balancing, facial anatomy, advanced filler techniques, and lip filler. She is very proficient in strategically placing filler and customizing treatment plans for each individual patient. Her specialties include: lip filler, facial balancing with filler (cheeks, jawline, chin), neurotoxin injections with Botox and Dysport, and CO2 skin resurfacing using the CoolPeel laser.  She has officially completed training on the Pico laser, and now offers tattoo removal, melasma treatments, eyebrow pigment removal and skin toning. 

In 2022, as well as 2023, Chelsea was nominated for Women Who Roar: Influential Women of Sarasota by her peers for SRQ Magazine, and nominated for Best Day Spa in Sarasota by SRQ Magazine for the spring of 2023.  Voyage Tampa, an online magazine showcasing inspiring local businesses and individuals, posted an in depth interview with Chelsea and posted to their website. 

Aesthetic medicine is her passion, and she prides herself in her artistic approach to facial rejuvenation. She is dedicated to providing her clients with natural-appearing results using advanced techniques and values the long-term relationships she creates with her patients.

Originally from Indiana,  Anna has made Sarasota her home after graduating from Florida Southern College in Lakeland with a degree in biology.  She assists Chelsea in any way possible to make the patient experience the best--whether it's help with scheduling, skincare products, or learning more about our services, she is your go-to girl.
