This is the Dysport difference. And it is all in the details. ✨

Look closely at her lower face. Smoother skin, softer smile lines, and a lifted, more heart-shaped shape overall. That is not an accident. That is what happens when you treat the full face instead of just the top.

Here is what most people miss. The DAOs (the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down) and the mentalis (the muscle that pushes the chin up and creates that dimpled, orange-peel texture) have a huge impact on how rested and lifted the lower face looks. A few units of Dysport in these areas softens downward pull, relaxes the chin, and creates a smoother, more balanced result.

For this patient, Sarah treated the DAOs and mentalis along with her frown lines, forehead, a subtle brow lift, crow's feet, under eyes, and bunny lines. Full-face artistry, not just spot treatment. That is the difference.

DM us to book your full face consultation and see if this treatment may be a good option for you. 🤍

ON DUTY: precision, purpose, and raising the standard.
OFF DUTY: family, fun, and making memories. 🤍

Meet Sarah Jepson, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC. Founder and Medical Director of The Refinery Medical Aesthetics and the heart behind everything we do.

With more than two decades of medical experience, Sarah brings a rare combination of clinical expertise, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to aesthetics. After 11 years in Emergency Medicine and 13 years in Pediatric Primary Care, she found the perfect intersection of two things she has always loved: science and helping people look and feel better.

On duty, she is passionate about building thoughtful, personalized treatment plans and bringing advanced, evidence-based aesthetics to Topeka. Safety, integrity, innovation, and real results guide every decision she makes, because helping someone feel confident should never mean compromising what makes them uniquely them.

Off duty, you will meet another side of the woman behind The Refinery: spending time with the people she loves, traveling, cheering on the Wildcats, and making memories with her family.

The white coat comes off, but the heart, drive, and attention to detail never really clock out.

We introduced our whole team first for a reason. Everything you love about them started with her. Meet the woman behind The Refinery. 🤍

ICYMI: our own Melissa Deister has been named a 2026 Topeka’s Top 20 Under 40 honoree! 🎉

Melissa is a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board certified Family Nurse Practitioner whose work is built around one belief: when people understand their health, they’re empowered to take an active role in their future. Whether it’s a patient regaining the confidence to walk into a gym, a grandparent with more energy to keep up with their grandkids, or someone realizing they’re capable of more than they thought, those are the moments Melissa shows up for.

Beyond her work here at The Refinery, she’s just as intentional about giving back, from mentoring others to organizing a towel drive supporting the Impact Topeka Foundation’s Mattress Drive for local families in need.

We are proud to work alongside Melissa every day, and even more proud to see her recognized like this. Congratulations, Melissa. This is well earned.

⭐️ We are so proud of Melissa Deister, DNP for this well-deserved recognition as one of Topeka's Top "20 Under 40"!
Congrats, Melissa! We are so lucky to have you on our team! 🎉

🎉 20 Under 40 Spotlight: Melissa Deister

Meet Melissa Deister, one of Topeka’s 20 Under 40 honorees!

Melissa holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and is a board-certified family nurse practitioner at The Refinery Medical Aesthetics, where she provides personalized, evidence-based care focused on prevention, metabolic and hormone health, medical weight management and aesthetic medicine. At the heart of her work is a simple belief: when people understand their health, they are empowered to take an active role in their future.

🩺 Making healthcare personal:
For Melissa, success isn’t measured by the number of patients she sees—it’s found in the individual stories. It’s the person who regains the confidence to walk into a gym, the grandparent who has more energy to play with their grandchildren, or the patient who discovers they’re capable of more than they believed possible. She sees those individual changes as building blocks for healthier families and a stronger community.

❤️ Giving back:
Melissa believes community service can start with something as simple as a conversation. Whether answering a health question outside the clinic, mentoring others or supporting local charitable efforts, she looks for opportunities to educate and encourage. She also organized a towel drive through her office to complement the Impact Topeka Foundation’s Mattress Drive, helping provide essential household items to local families experiencing hardship.

🌟 What leadership means to Melissa:
Melissa believes leadership requires curiosity, compassion and a willingness to keep growing. She continually pursues new knowledge not simply to add credentials, but to improve the quality and expand the types of care available close to home. Her goal is for people to leave an interaction with her feeling heard, respected and more confident than when they arrived.

Melissa’s approach to community impact is simple but powerful: one person, one family and one opportunity at a time.

👏 Congratulations, Melissa, on being recognized as one of Topeka’s 20 Under 40!

Feeling cared for starts with feeling heard. 🤍

At The Refinery, a consultation isn’t about finding something to sell you—it’s about listening to your concerns, understanding your goals, and recommending what genuinely makes sense for you.

For Linda, that meant a thoughtful conversation with Claire, personalized skincare recommendations, and absolutely no pressure to book a treatment or purchase a product.
Because sometimes the best recommendation is simply giving your skin what it needs—and giving you the knowledge to make a decision with confidence.

Thank you, Linda, for trusting us with your skin and for sharing such kind words about your experience. We’re so grateful you felt seen, heard, and cared for.
Ready to start with a conversation? Schedule your consultation with The Refinery today.
