Melanin-Rich Skin Matters: Why We Specialise in Treating It
At Samba Aesthetics, we believe skincare should be inclusive, results-driven, and rooted in real understanding. That’s why our clinic was created with a clear purpose: to specialise in advanced skincare for all skin types - with a particular focus on melanin-rich and darker skin tones.
For Ange, our founder and lead practitioner, this isn’t just a professional passion - it’s deeply personal. As a Black woman, Ange experienced first-hand the lack of safe, knowledgeable skincare options for people with darker skin. Like so many others, she struggled to find professionals who understood how melanin behaves, what treatments are appropriate, and how to achieve real results without compromising the health of the skin.
Her journey led her to build Samba Aesthetics: a safe, specialist space where melanin-rich skin is not just treated - it’s celebrated.
Understanding Melanin-Rich Skin
Melanin-rich skin is powerful, radiant, and resilient. But it also has unique characteristics that require a thoughtful, tailored approach. Conditions like hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory dark spots, and uneven tone can be more common in deeper skin tones - and they require the right kind of expertise to treat safely.
Many mainstream treatments and products are designed with lighter skin in mind, which can lead to irritation, scarring, or worsened pigmentation for darker complexions. That’s where Samba Aesthetics steps in.
We’re proud to offer evidence-based, expert-led treatments that take into account how melanin behaves - and we’re passionate about delivering safe, effective results for the skin tones that are too often overlooked.
Why We Specialise
Ange’s story is the reason we do what we do. Her frustration with cookie-cutter solutions and lack of representation in skincare clinics became the driving force behind Samba Aesthetics. She didn’t just want better skin for herself - she wanted to create a clinic where others like her could feel seen, understood, and confident in the hands of someone who truly gets it.
Our clinic specialises in treatments that are clinically proven and safe for melanin-rich skin, including:
Chemical Peels that gently exfoliate and brighten without triggering hyperpigmentation
Microneedling to improve texture, reduce scarring, and boost collagen
LED Light Therapy to soothe, heal, and support an even skin tone
Personalised Treatment Plans tailored to your unique skin goals and tone
But more than anything, our mission is about care. At Samba Aesthetics, we’re not just treating skin - we’re nurturing confidence, education, and empowerment.
Skincare with Confidence
We believe every client deserves to feel comfortable in their skin and confident in their care. That’s why we take time to explain every step of your journey, from treatment choices to product recommendations, all with your skin’s safety and success at the core.
Whether you're dealing with pigmentation, dullness, or simply want to enhance your skin’s natural glow, you’re in safe hands here.
