In Recognition of Pamela Killian

The Facial Refinery was founded by Rachel Jarrell and Pamela Killian with a shared vision of creating an aesthetic practice centered on integrity, compassion, and exceptional patient care. As a cofounder, Pamela played an essential role in bringing that vision to life. From its earliest days, she helped create the thoughtful, patient-centered experience that continues to define The Facial Refinery. While a family relocation led Pamela to step away sooner than anticipated, her contributions remain an important part of our practice. We will forever be grateful for Pamela’s partnership, dedication, and the meaningful contributions she made during our formative years.
