you didn't say which messages, but in systemd 253 there's a new per-unit option
LogFilterPatterns=.
* A new LogFilterPatterns= option has been added for units. It may be
used to specify accept/deny regular expressions for log messages
generated by the unit, that shall be enforced by systemd-journald.
Rejected messages are neither stored in the journal nor forwarded.
This option may be used to suppress noisy or uninteresting messages
from units.
