SKN & SMILE Co was founded by Mikaela Murphy, whose approach to skin and smile care is shaped by a strong academic foundation and a deeply research-led mindset.

Mikaela’s background is rooted in academia and research-based disciplines within education, where critical thinking, evaluation, and structured understanding are essential. These skills now underpin every aspect of her work within the clinic, allowing treatments to be approached with depth, clarity, and intention rather than assumption or trend.

Every treatment offered at SKN & SMILE Co has been carefully researched, understood, and assessed beyond surface-level training. From the science behind each technology to the reasoning behind protocols and treatment planning, decisions are made through informed analysis and evidence-based consideration.

This academic approach ensures that clients are guided through thoughtful skin and smile journeys that prioritise long-term skin quality, safety, and informed decision-making. Treatments are selected because they make sense; clinically, ethically, and strategically — not because they are fashionable or commercially driven.

Mikaela remains closely involved in all aspects of the clinic, from treatment selection and protocol development to ongoing education and technology investment, ensuring the clinic operates with consistency, integrity, and intention.

At the heart of SKN & SMILE Co is a belief that meaningful results come from knowledge applied thoughtfully, delivered within a calm, professional environment.
