Why We’re Great at It
We have the credentials that count and the experience that matters.
Did you know that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of providers in Minnesota who are performing cosmetic injectables, laser treatments, and chemical peels without a license? Unfortunately, state regulations and licensing have not caught up with the rapid growth of the medical aesthetics world. This means that many non-licensed and underqualified providers are administering treatments that jeopardize the safety of their clients and patients.
At Refinery Skin Clinic, we put your safety first! All of our providers are either fully licensed Registered Nurses or Advanced Practice Estheticians; some are BOTH! Each has years, if not decades, of experience in their specialty and prioritizes continuing education to stay at the top of their craft. This commitment to ongoing education and advanced certifications ensures your safety and the high level of skill you’ll experience, regardless of the treatments you receive with us.
We train and educate other providers across the country.
At Refinery Skin Clinic, several of our providers are regional and national trainers for companies like Allergan Aesthetics. That means we travel to educate other estheticians, nurses, and even physicians on the safe and effective administration of treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM®. Refinery Skin Clinic owner, Rebecca Suess RN, BSN, CPSN, CANS, ISPAN-F, has not only been a faculty member of the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) since 2017, but she also sits on the Board of Directors for the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses (ISPAN). She plays a pivotal role in steering the future of medical aesthetics and how it is practiced in the United States!
Allergan Aesthetics has ranked us at the top!
Allergan Aesthetics, the manufacturer of BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM®, CoolSculpting®, and much more has ranked Refinery Skin Clinic in the TOP TEN clinics in Minnesota! Out of tens of thousands of BOTOX® providers in the United States, we rank in the top 5%. This means that although we are a smaller clinic, we perform an incredibly high volume of injectable services. Guess what? This standing also allows us to extend more amazing rebates, gift-with-purchase opportunities, and discounts to our clients that other clinics may not be able to offer!
Our clients consistently vote us #1 in the state!
Refinery Skin Clinic is honored to have won GOLD for BEST MED SPA in 2022, 2023, and 2024 in the Star Tribune’s annual Best of Minnesota Reader’s Poll. This award is generated purely by client votes and confidence.
We believe that customization is key.
There are no “one-size-fits-all” treatments at Refinery Skin Clinic. After all, you’re uniquely YOU! The treatments and products that will benefit you most will differ significantly from the next client. That’s why we stress custom-tailored treatment strategies and medical-grade skincare products that factor into your lifestyle, budget, and specific needs. We believe this is the most honest approach and the one that gets you the BEST results!
We put YOU first!
At Refinery Skin Clinic, it is just as important to us that you feel as beautiful as you look! We respect the strong correlation between inner confidence and outward appearance. We want you to feel empowered, not intimidated by your options. We want you to feel that you belong in our clinic, not that the world of aesthetics is exclusive, out of reach, or overwhelming.
Our providers invest heavily in getting to know you and your goals to achieve this. We emphasize educating our clients so they understand exactly how a treatment works and why we may recommend it. In essence, we believe that a provider can have all the skills in the world, but if they don’t truly care about their clients and empower them with knowledge about their skin, they are not an extraordinary provider. At Refinery Skin Clinic, being “extraordinary” is a pre-requisite for all our providers!
