Argwings Kodhek Rd runs straight through Kilimani, which makes SkinByDrNancy about as convenient as a dermatology clinic gets for anyone living around Lenana Road, Rose Avenue, Wood Avenue, Kilimani Road or the apartment blocks off Denis Pritt. We are at Landmark Plaza, 2nd Floor, a few minutes from Yaya Centre.

Kilimani is also where a lot of Nairobi’s aesthetic treatment market sits – and where a lot of skin gets damaged by it. Peels done too strong, dermarollers used at home, injectables from unqualified hands and “brightening” products with undeclared steroids all end up in this clinic eventually. Everything we do is prescribed after a proper skin assessment by a dermatologist.

What Kilimani patients come in for

Adult and hormonal acne

Jawline and chin breakouts that flare before a period, and adult acne that never quite cleared from the teenage years. Treated with prescription therapy rather than another facial – see acne treatment.

Melasma and uneven tone

Very common, very stubborn, and very easy to make worse. Treatment combines prescription topicals, superficial peels and rigorous daily sun protection – see melasma and pigmentation treatment.

Acne scarring and skin texture

Microneedling is usually the safest effective option for indented acne scars on melanin-rich skin, and it works far better once the active acne has been controlled first.

Damage from salon and home treatments

Burns from over-strong peels, tram-track marks from home dermarollers, steroid-induced acne from “glow” creams and post-inflammatory pigmentation from aggressive laser settings. All treatable – and the first step is stopping what caused it.

Hair and scalp problems

Traction alopecia from tight styling, thinning edges, and flaking or itchy scalps. See hair loss treatment.

Doctor-led aesthetics, not a treatment menu

There is a real difference between an aesthetic treatment chosen off a price list and one prescribed after a skin assessment. A dermatologist looks at your skin type, your pigmentation risk, what you have already had done, what you are using at home and whether your skin needs preparing first – and then chooses the agent, the strength and the depth.

Practically, that means:

  • Peels are preceded by two to four weeks of skin preparation, which is what makes them both safer and more effective.
  • Peel strength and needle depth are set for Fitzpatrick IV-VI, not copied from a protocol written for lighter skin.
  • Active acne, infection or dermatitis is treated first, because resurfacing inflamed skin causes pigmentation.
  • If a treatment is not right for you, we will say so rather than sell it.

Convenient for Kilimani, and open early

From most of Kilimani the clinic is a five-minute drive or a short boda ride. We are open 7:00am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday and 7:00am to 12:00pm on Saturday, so an appointment does not have to eat into your working day. Most major insurance schemes are accepted for medical dermatology.

FAQs

Dermatologist in Kilimani – common questions

How far is the clinic from Kilimani?

Usually about five minutes by car – Landmark Plaza is on Argwings Kodhek Rd, which runs through Kilimani, and we are a short distance from Yaya Centre.

Do you offer chemical peels and microneedling in Kilimani?

Yes, both are performed at the clinic by Dr Nancy Omwenga after a skin assessment – see chemical peels and microneedling.

Can you fix damage from a bad peel or home dermaroller?

In most cases yes. Bring in whatever was used, stop using it, and we will assess the damage and treat the resulting pigmentation or scarring.

Is melasma curable?

It is controllable rather than curable. Good treatment plus daily sun protection and long-term maintenance keeps it clear; stopping everything is why it comes back.

Do you do injectables like Botox and fillers?

The clinic focuses on medical dermatology and doctor-led aesthetic treatments such as peels, microneedling, intralesional injections, cryotherapy and electrocautery. Ask reception on 0728 566990 about current availability.
