About us.

A dermatology clinic in Muthaiga where the medical and cosmetic sides sit in one building, on one record.

Book an appointmentTreatment menu

Deep, deliberate dermatology and skincare for melanin-rich skin.

Melanin-rich skin behaves, heals and scars in its own way, and every condition here is read and treated with that in mind.

From consultation and diagnosis to procedures and testing, everything happens under one roof. Our Muthaiga clinic has eight procedure rooms and a laboratory of its own.

Both sides sit under one roof, so a diagnosis and its treatment do not send you to two clinics. Every plan is written down, with its cost, before you agree to it.

Who you will see

Dr. Margaret Gachanja, dermatologist at Mela Skin

Dr. Margaret Gachanja

Board-Certified Dermatologist

Dr. Gachanja is a board-certified dermatologist, trained at the University of Nairobi and in clinical dermatology at Cardiff University, with further training in aesthetic medicine through the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. Her practice covers skin, hair and nails together, since on melanin-rich skin the three rarely present as separate problems.

Six commitments, in the order they affect you.

  1. One roof, one record

    Same building, same notes, same clinician. A diagnosis and its treatment do not need two clinics or two sets of photographs.

  2. Settings chosen for your skin

    Your Fitzpatrick type, laser history and how you scar are recorded before a device is switched on. On IV to VI the setting decides the outcome, not the machine.

  3. A cost before you agree, not after

    The cosmetic consultation is free, and it is where the figure comes from: what is recommended, how many sessions, what it costs.

  4. A plan you leave with

    In writing, from the first appointment: the cost, the sessions, how long before anything shows, and what happens if it does not work.

  5. No treatment you do not need

    Some marks are better left alone, and some courses are not worth the cost. You get that at the consultation, not after it.

  6. The room and the protocol

    Eight procedure rooms and a registered laboratory, on one floor. [Confirm before launch: single-room privacy, pain relief, and how equipment is cleaned between patients.]

Just over 2,000 square feet on one floor: eight procedure rooms and a registered laboratory.
