The Essentials
The Philosophy: The "Filter" Effect
Our skin may be a thin layer but there can be a lot going on under the surface, from enlarged pores to fine lines. Skin Refinement uses a series of neuromodulator injections targeting the skin layer to achieve an airbrushed finish.
Unlike traditional treatments that address deep expression lines, this method targets the superficial skin and does not affect facial movements. In line with our commitment to longevity, we utilize purified neuromodulator formulations to ensure the skin remains healthy and responsive in the long-term.

How Does Skin Refinement Work?
_edited.jpg)
The process utilizes a specialized injection pattern to distribute a diluted, purified neuromodulator evenly across the target area (usually the T-zone, cheeks, or full face).
Benefits of Skin Refinement
with Neuromodulators
This technique targets three specific components within the dermal layer:
Sebaceous Glands
It temporarily reduces oil (sebum) production, which helps control shine and prevents congestion in acne-prone skin.
What Is The Difference Between
Wrinkle Reduction And Skin Refinement?
Both of these treatments use Neuromodulators but in different layers of the face and therefore lead to different effects.

Wrinkle Reduction

Treats
Dynamic wrinkles such as
frown lines or crow’s feet
Target layer
Acts on the facial muscles
Effect
Reduces movement lines and
smooths out dynamic wrinkles

Treats
Skin quality issues such as redness, enlarged pores or fine lines
Target layer
Acts on the sebaceous glands, sweat glands and erector pili
muscles in the skin.
Effect
Reduces the appearance of redness,
pores and fine lines

What Is A Purified Neuromodulator?
For a treatment like Skin Refinement, which involves numerous superficial injections, the quality of the formulation is paramount. A purified neuromodulator has been stripped of unnecessary complexing proteins that do not contribute to the clinical result but can be recognised by your immune system as foreign and therefore trigger an immune response. The skin has an abundance of immune cells so this purity is even more important in this area.

Highly Purified
Contains only the active ingredient needed for the airbrushed skin effect.
Sustainable
Using a "naked" protein reduces the chance of the skin becoming desensitized to the treatment, ensuring consistent results over time.
Precise
The purified structure allows for a precise and predictable "spread" within the intradermal layer, reducing the risk of unwanted muscle weakness.
Can I Combine Skin Refinement
Neuromodulators With Other Treatments?
Skin Refinement Neuromodulators can absolutely be paired with other treatments
depending on your treatment goal.

For More Lift
Combine with Ultherapy PRIME or Dermalift for skin tightening and lifting

For More Glow
Combine with Skin boosters and Lasers for
brightening and hydration
For Pore Shrinking
Combine with Lasers and Facials for collagen stimulation and deep cleansing
What Else Can Neuromodulators Treat?
The versatility of purified proteins allows for various specialized applications:

The Treatment

The Evolution
The procedure involves many tiny, shallow injections. Most patients describe it as a light "stinging" sensation, much milder than traditional injections.
You will notice a reduction in oiliness within 3–5 days. By day 14, the "glass skin" effect is usually at its peak, with pores looking visibly blurred and texture feeling significantly smoother.

Consultation
We always start with a conversation to assess your suitability for treatment and ensure this is aligned with your goals.
Post-Treatment
Your skin may look slightly flushed, and you may see tiny "blebs" on the surface. These are temporary and usually vanish within 1 to 2 hours as the skin absorbs the product.
