Design brief

Every skin tone, Fitzpatrick I to VI, with deep Skin of Colour expertise

Why a clinician-led clinic near Clapham Junction

Three things that make Melatone different.

01

Registered clinicians, not beauty rooms.

Many venues around Clapham Junction route advanced treatments such as polynucleotides, microneedling, and peels through unregistered beauty staff. At Melatone, your treatment is delivered by a clinician on a statutory register, under aseptic technique, with a written aftercare plan. The lead clinician, Arman Zaki, is a GMC-registered Physician Associate.

02

Skin of Colour is the design brief.

Fitzpatrick IV to VI is the clinic's core positioning, not a side category. Laser wavelength selection, peel strengths, microneedling parameters, and melasma protocols all reflect it. Melatone means Melanin and Skin Tone, and melanin-rich skin is the reason the clinic exists.

03

A paid consultation, no pressure funnels.

The consultation costs 30 GBP and is redeemed against your first treatment. Charging for clinical time means the clinic never needs to upsell to recoup an unpaid hour. The honest recommendation sometimes says no to a treatment, and there is no same-day pressure.

Skin of Colour

Built for melanin-rich skin, not adapted for it.

Clapham Junction and the wider SW11 catchment are among the most diverse in London. Skin of Colour is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and a laser or peel set for lighter skin can cause real harm at Fitzpatrick IV to VI. The answer was never to avoid these skins. It was to learn them.

Laser hair removal at Melatone uses a triple-wavelength SmartDiode MD device. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is the one the evidence supports for the deepest skin tones, because it targets the hair follicle while sparing surface melanin. Pigmentation and melasma are treated on a conservative ladder: rigorous broad-spectrum SPF, prescribed topicals, low-strength superficial peels, and microneedling at melanin-safe parameters.

The clinical goal for every pigmentation patient is even skin tone, never lighter skin. Melatone does not offer, recommend, or supply bleaching or skin-whitening treatments.

Frequently asked questions

Aesthetic treatments in Clapham Junction.

Where is the nearest aesthetic clinic to Clapham Junction?

Melatone Skin Clinic is at Unit 13A, Battersea Business Centre, 99 to 109 Lavender Hill, London SW11 5QL, a 10 to 14 minute walk from Clapham Junction. From the Brighton Yard exit, turn left onto St John's Hill, then right onto Lavender Hill. It is a clinician-led clinic founded by Arman Zaki, a GMC-registered Physician Associate.

What aesthetic treatments can I get near Clapham Junction?

Personalised skin consultations, polynucleotides, microneedling, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, skin boosters and Profhilo, laser hair removal safe for Fitzpatrick I to VI, HydroMED Pro facials, dermal filler, and prescriber-led anti-wrinkle treatment. Regenerative and skin treatments are delivered by Arman Zaki, laser by Catia Zaki, facials by Vanessa Paz and Catia Zaki, and injectables by Rhianna Beckford.

How much do aesthetic treatments cost in Clapham Junction?

A consultation is £30, redeemed against your first treatment. Polynucleotides start from £540 for a course of 3, microneedling from £99.99 per session, PRP microneedling from £450 per session or £1,200 for a course of 3, HydroMED Pro from £79.99, and laser hair removal is a course of 7 from £30 per session. Chemical peels, skin boosters, dermal filler, and anti-wrinkle treatment are quoted at consultation.

Is Melatone doctor-led or clinician-led?

Clinician-led. Every advanced treatment is delivered by a statutorily registered clinician: Arman Zaki (GMC), Rhianna Beckford (HCPC-registered Paramedic), and Catia Zaki (VTCT Level 4). Anti-wrinkle treatment is prescribed by a pharmacist at a face-to-face consultation and administered by Rhianna Beckford. This differs from many high-street venues where advanced treatments are delivered by unregistered beauty staff.

Do you treat darker skin tones and Skin of Colour safely?

Yes. Skin of Colour is the clinic's design brief. Laser hair removal uses a triple-wavelength SmartDiode MD, and the 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is the evidence-supported choice for Fitzpatrick V and VI. Pigmentation and melasma are treated on a conservative ladder because of the published post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk in darker skin. The clinical goal is even skin tone, never skin lightening.

Do I need to pay for a consultation, and is there a patch test?

A personalised skin consultation is £30 and is deducted from your first treatment. Laser hair removal includes a £10 patch test, which doubles as a short consultation. Charging for clinical time means the clinic does not run free-consultation funnels that pressure you into a same-day decision.
