The Refinery Medical Aesthetics

The Refinery Medical Aesthetics was founded in 2022 by Sarah Jepson, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with more than two decades of healthcare experience spanning emergency medicine and pediatric primary care. Located on SW 17th Street in Topeka, Kansas, the practice was created as a quiet alternative to fast-paced aesthetic clinics, emphasizing personalized, evidence-based care over volume-driven treatment. Jepson's philosophy blends surface-level aesthetic work with functional medicine principles, addressing concerns like fatigue and weight-loss resistance through an inside-out approach that supports hormone balance and cellular health, all while prioritizing honest advice, well-researched treatments, and realistic outcomes over transformation for its own sake. The Refinery's aesthetic menu includes Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, Sculptra, EZ Gel PRF regenerative therapy, chemical peels, microneedling with PRP, facials, Fotona laser treatments, and non-surgical eye lifts, complemented by wellness services such as medical weight loss, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, IV therapy, peptide therapy, and vitamin injections. The practice has been nominated for Best Spa/Medspa and Best Cosmetic Clinic in Topeka's Best of awards.
