Dr Mélanin

Dr Mélanin was founded by Dr Aishwarya Vasudevan (BMBS, PGDip), a medical and aesthetic doctor who practices in the NHS as a GP Specialty Trainee with a special interest in dermatology and minor surgery. She holds a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Injectables and Cosmetic Dermatology (Harley Academy), has completed additional skin‑of‑colour training with the Black Skin Directory and is a member of the Skin of Colour Training Society. Consultant dermatologist Dr Vyoma Damani (MBBS, DVD) provides clinical advisory support, bringing over 23 years of dermatology and aesthetic experience.

The clinic offers clinician‑led treatments specifically adapted for melanin‑rich skin, including anti‑wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, Profhilo, polynucleotides, exosomes, mesotherapy, skin boosters and medical‑grade skincare. Dr Mélanin combines evidence‑based protocols, specialised skin‑of‑colour techniques and personalised treatment plans to prioritise safety, natural‑looking outcomes and reduced risk of pigmentation complications.

Based in West Thurrock/Grays, Essex, Dr Mélanin serves local and nearby Greater London communities with specialist care for darker skin tones. The practice emphasises inclusivity, research‑informed practice and patient education, delivering measured, patient‑centred results while preserving each individual’s natural features.
