Yes. Laser technology can break down unwanted SMP pigment particles so the body can gradually clear them. Treatment can remove pigment, soften a hairline or correct previous work, subject to individual response.

Avoid sweat and moisture for at least four days after each session unless advised otherwise. Keep unapproved creams and lotions off the treated area during early healing, then return to training gradually as guided.

Mild redness is common and often settles within a day or two, though every scalp responds differently. Temporary tenderness can occur. Aftercare and post-treatment soothing steps are provided in studio.

Most clients need multiple laser sessions. The exact number depends on pigment type, density, area size and how your skin responds. A personalised plan is confirmed in consultation and reviewed as treatment progresses.

Most clients describe a short, sharp or warm sensation during treatment rather than lasting pain. Comfort varies with treatment area, pigment density and individual sensitivity. Sensations are explained before treatment begins.

Laser SMP removal can feel like a quick snapping or warm prickling sensation. Tolerance varies. We treat carefully and can discuss comfort measures during your consultation.

ONYX & NOIR is open 10am–7pm, seven days a week at Haland House, 66 York Road, Weybridge KT13 9DY. Appointment availability is confirmed when you book a consultation or treatment. Call 07932353232 or email onyxnoirsmp@gmail.com.

Complete removal may be possible for some clients, but results cannot be guaranteed. Pigment composition, depth, density and healing response all influence the outcome. A consultation sets realistic expectations.

Yes. Laser can lighten dense, uneven or poorly placed SMP so the scalp can be softened or prepared for correction. Whether full removal or staged fading is best is decided after assessing your pigment and goals.

Laser offers a controlled way to fade or remove unwanted scalp micropigmentation when colour, density, hairline shape or previous work no longer suits you. It can prepare the scalp for refined new SMP. Suitability and expected results are assessed in consultation.

Session length depends on the size and density of the area treated. Timing is confirmed when your plan is agreed. Please allow extra time for preparation and aftercare guidance.

Sessions are spaced to allow healing and pigment clearance. The recommended interval is set at consultation and may be adjusted based on your response. Adequate spacing supports safer, more consistent fading.

Follow the written aftercare from your session. Typically avoid washing or sweating as advised for the first days, do not pick flaking skin, and keep heat and sun off the area. Contact the studio if you have concerns during healing.

When treatment is appropriate for your skin and aftercare is followed, lasting damage is uncommon. Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur. Suitability is assessed first, and rare risks such as pigment change are discussed honestly in consultation.

SMP laser removal is a specialist laser treatment used to lighten or remove scalp micropigmentation pigment that is no longer wanted or no longer suits you. Controlled pulses of light target pigment particles in the skin, breaking them into smaller fragments that the body can gradually process. At ONYX & NOIR in Weybridge, every treatment begins with an individual assessment of the pigment, skin type, treatment area and existing results. The aim may be complete removal, softening an existing hairline, correcting poorly executed work, or preparing the scalp for a fresh SMP treatment.

Specialist laser energy is absorbed by the pigment particles in the scalp. That energy breaks the pigment into finer fragments. Over the weeks that follow each session, the body's natural clearance processes gradually reduce the visible pigment. Because SMP pigment can sit at different depths and may vary in composition, treatment is planned carefully rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all protocol. Your practitioner will advise on a suitable approach after assessing your scalp in consultation.

Complete removal can be possible for some clients, but it cannot be guaranteed. Outcomes depend on pigment composition, how the original SMP was applied, depth of placement, colour, coverage density, skin type and how your body responds between sessions. In many cases the goal is significant fading rather than an absolute promise of 100% clearance. A consultation is the right place to set realistic expectations for your particular pigment and scalp.

Most SMP laser removal journeys involve multiple sessions. The exact number varies from person to person and is influenced by pigment type, density, area size and how the skin responds after each treatment. We do not quote a fixed session count without seeing your scalp. After consultation we can outline a personalised plan and review progress as treatment continues.

Sessions are spaced to allow the skin to settle and the body time to process fragmented pigment. The appropriate interval is confirmed during consultation and may be adjusted as your response becomes clearer. Rushing sessions can increase irritation without improving results, so spacing is part of a careful, results-led approach.

Most clients describe a short, sharp or warm sensation during treatment rather than lasting pain. Comfort varies with treatment area, pigment density and individual sensitivity. We work carefully and can discuss ways to make the session as comfortable as possible. Any expected sensations will be explained before treatment begins.

Aftercare protects the treated skin while pigment clearance continues. You will receive clear instructions after your session. In general, keep the area clean as advised, avoid unnecessary irritation, and follow guidance on washing, products and heat exposure. Avoid sweat and moisture for at least four days after each session unless your practitioner advises otherwise, and do not apply unapproved creams or lotions to the treated area during early healing. If anything feels unexpected, contact the studio for advice.

Downtime is usually modest. Mild redness is common and typically settles within a day or two, although every scalp responds differently. Some clients notice temporary tenderness, dryness or light flaking as the skin recovers. Most people can return to normal daily routines quite quickly, while following aftercare around exercise, heat and skincare. Your practitioner will tell you what to expect for your treatment plan.

Yes — many clients have laser treatment specifically to fade or correct previous SMP before a refined new application. Timing matters: the scalp needs adequate recovery, and remaining pigment should be assessed before new work begins. ONYX & NOIR can advise on whether removal, lightening or correction is the better route, and when the scalp is ready for a fresh SMP plan.

Both use laser energy to break down pigment, but SMP is typically finer, denser across the scalp and placed with techniques designed to mimic hair follicles. Pigment type and depth can also differ from body tattoos. That means assessment and settings are tailored to scalp micropigmentation rather than treating it as a standard large tattoo. A consultation ensures the approach suits SMP specifically.

When carried out appropriately, scarring is uncommon. Temporary redness, sensitivity or surface healing responses can occur. Rarely, pigment changes or other skin responses may be seen, which is why suitability and aftercare matter. We assess your skin and history first and treat with precision. Please raise any previous scarring, keloid tendency or skin conditions during consultation.

Suitability depends on your skin, the pigment used, medical history and your goals — whether full removal, softening or preparation for new SMP. Not every pigment responds in the same way; for example, different pigment formulations can clear at different rates. A consultation and suitability assessment help determine whether laser is appropriate and what results are realistic for you.

Arrive with a clean scalp and follow any preparation notes provided after booking. Avoid applying heavy products to the area beforehand unless advised otherwise, and tell us about medications, recent sun exposure, skin treatments or sensitivities. Being well and sharing an accurate treatment history helps us treat safely and plan effectively.

Some lightening can appear as the skin settles after a session, but meaningful change usually develops over the following weeks as the body clears fragmented pigment. Progress is typically gradual across a course of treatments rather than immediate after one visit. We review results between sessions and adjust the plan where needed.

Your consultation includes an assessment of the existing pigment, skin and treatment goals, together with an honest discussion of likely outcomes, session planning and aftercare. Pricing is personalised because every scalp and pigment history is different. ONYX & NOIR is a private aesthetics studio at Haland House, 66 York Road, Weybridge KT13 9DY, open 10am–7pm, seven days a week.

Laser SMP removal uses targeted light energy to break down unwanted scalp micropigmentation pigment so it can fade over time. Treatment is one-to-one in our private Weybridge studio and is planned around your pigment, skin and desired outcome. Whether you want pigment removed, a harsh hairline softened, or the scalp prepared for corrected SMP, the process starts with assessment rather than a standard package.

People seek laser SMP removal for several reasons: dissatisfaction with colour or density, an unnatural hairline, poorly placed work, changing style preferences, or the wish to start again with more refined SMP. Laser offers a controlled way to reduce unwanted pigment. In consultation we discuss whether removal, partial fading or a combined correction pathway best matches your goals.

Not always. Laser can substantially fade or, in some cases, clear SMP pigment, but results vary. Factors include pigment chemistry (including how carbon-based or other formulations respond), depth, density, previous treatments and your healing response. We will not promise total removal where the evidence on your scalp suggests fading is the more realistic outcome. Clear expectations are part of a professional plan.

A course of several sessions is typical, because pigment is cleared progressively. Dense coverage or resistant pigment may need more visits; lighter or patchy work may need fewer. Your estimated course is confirmed after we examine the scalp. We reassess after each session rather than locking you into an inflexible number.

Adequate spacing between sessions supports healing and pigment clearance. The recommended gap is set at consultation and may vary with how your skin responds. Keeping to the advised interval helps protect the scalp and supports more consistent fading from session to session.

Sensation is often compared to a quick snapping or warm prickling feeling on the scalp. Tolerance differs between clients and across areas of denser pigment. Treatment is delivered with care, and we explain comfort expectations beforehand. If you are anxious about sensation, raise this at consultation so we can plan accordingly.

Follow the written aftercare you receive on the day. Typical guidance includes protecting the treated scalp, avoiding sweat and moisture for at least four days, and steering clear of unapproved topicals while the skin settles. Do not pick at any flaking skin. Keep sun exposure and heat away from the area as advised. Contact us if you have concerns during healing.

Many clients experience only short-lived redness or mild sensitivity. A soothing approach is used after treatment, and redness often eases within a day or two, though individual responses differ. Plan to follow activity restrictions for the first few days — especially exercise that causes heavy sweating — then return to routine as guided.

Yes. Laser is frequently used to soften an overly low, straight or dense hairline so a more natural shape can be created afterwards. Partial fading can be as important as full removal when the goal is correction. We assess whether lightening alone, staged removal, or a combined removal-and-SMP plan is the most discreet route for you.

Yes. Pigment response varies. Formulation, colour and how the pigment was implanted all influence clearance. Some pigments fade more readily across a course of sessions; others are more stubborn and may require more treatments or leave a softer residual tone. This is evaluated visually and discussed honestly at consultation, including where a patch assessment may help guide planning.

Laser treatment must be matched carefully to skin type and history. Suitability is confirmed case by case, taking into account sensitivity, previous reactions, medications and any tendency toward pigment change. If laser is not the best option for you, we will say so and discuss alternatives where appropriate.

Common, temporary effects include redness, warmth, swelling or mild scabbing as the skin recovers. Less commonly, temporary or longer-term pigment changes can occur. Scarring is uncommon when treatment and aftercare are appropriate, but no procedure is risk-free. We prioritise careful assessment, precise treatment and clear aftercare to keep risk as low as practically possible.

Bring details of when and where your SMP was done if you know them, and list any skin issues or medications. Avoid recent strong sun on the scalp and follow any pre-treatment advice we send you. A calm, informed preparation helps us treat accurately from the first session.

Appointment length depends on the size and density of the area being treated. Smaller zones are quicker; larger scalp coverage takes longer. Timing is confirmed when your treatment plan is agreed. Please allow a little extra time at the studio for preparation, aftercare explanation and any questions.

Laser tattoo removal uses controlled pulses of light to break down unwanted tattoo ink within the skin. The fragmented pigment is then gradually processed by the body’s natural clearance systems over the weeks between sessions. At ONYX & NOIR in Weybridge, treatment begins with an individual assessment of the tattoo, ink colours, skin type and your goals — whether fading, partial lightening or working towards as much clearance as is realistically achievable.

Specialist laser energy is absorbed by tattoo pigment particles. That energy breaks the ink into smaller fragments. Between appointments, the body continues to clear those fragments, so fading develops progressively rather than all at once. Settings and approach are tailored to the tattoo’s size, location, colours and depth after consultation, rather than applied as a generic protocol.

Darker inks — particularly black and deep greys — often respond more readily because they absorb laser energy efficiently. Some brighter colours, including certain greens, blues and yellows, can be more stubborn and may need more sessions or leave a softer residual tone. Ink type, how the tattoo was applied and where it sits on the body also influence clearance. We assess your specific tattoo in consultation and set expectations honestly.

Most tattoos require a course of multiple sessions. The number varies with ink colour, density, depth, age of the tattoo, skin type, location on the body and how your skin responds after each treatment. We do not publish a fixed session count for every tattoo. After seeing the work, we can outline a personalised plan and review progress as treatment continues.

Sessions are spaced to allow the skin to settle and the body time to clear fragmented ink. The appropriate interval is confirmed at consultation and may be adjusted as your response becomes clearer. Adequate spacing supports safer healing and more consistent fading. Rushing appointments rarely improves the end result.

Sensation is often described as a quick snapping or warm prickling feeling over the tattoo. Comfort varies with tattoo size, location, ink density and individual sensitivity. We treat carefully and explain what to expect before we begin. If you are concerned about sensation, raise this at consultation so comfort options can be discussed.

Temporary redness, warmth and swelling are common after a session. Some clients notice blistering, scabbing or sensitivity as the area heals. These responses usually settle with proper aftercare, though every skin reacts differently. You will receive clear guidance on covering the area, washing, exercise and sun exposure. Follow those instructions closely to support healing.

Aftercare protects the treated skin while ink clearance continues. Keep the area clean as advised, avoid picking at any blistering or flaking skin, and follow guidance on moisturising, dressings, heat and sun. Avoid unnecessary irritation, swimming and heavy sweating until you are cleared to resume them. If healing looks unexpected, contact the studio for advice rather than applying unapproved products.

When treatment is appropriate and aftercare is followed, scarring is uncommon. Temporary surface healing responses can occur. Rarely, longer-term texture or pigment changes may be seen, which is why suitability assessment matters. Please tell us about previous scarring, keloid tendency or skin conditions during consultation so we can treat with appropriate caution.

Many adults with unwanted tattoos are candidates, but suitability depends on your skin, medical history, the tattoo itself and your goals. Recent strong sun or tan on the area, active infection, pregnancy, and certain medications or conditions may mean treatment should wait. A consultation and suitability assessment determine whether laser is appropriate and what results are realistic for your tattoo.

Session length depends on the size and complexity of the tattoo. Smaller pieces are quicker; larger or multi-coloured work takes longer. Timing is confirmed when your treatment plan is agreed. Please allow extra time at the studio for preparation, aftercare explanation and any questions.

Some lightening may appear as the skin settles after a session, but meaningful fading usually develops over the following weeks as the body clears fragmented ink. Progress is gradual across a course of treatments. We review results between sessions and adjust the plan where needed. Patience between appointments is part of a successful outcome.

Significant fading is achievable for many tattoos, and some can clear very thoroughly. Complete 100% removal cannot be guaranteed. Residual shadow, resistant colours or very dense ink may remain even after a full course. Your consultation is the place to set a realistic goal — full clearance where plausible, or substantial fading if that is the more honest expectation.

Both use laser energy to break down pigment, but tattoos and scalp micropigmentation differ in ink type, depth, density and placement. Body tattoos are assessed as tattoos; SMP removal is planned specifically for scalp micropigmentation. ONYX & NOIR offers both services. If your concern is unwanted SMP rather than a conventional tattoo, ask for SMP laser removal so the approach matches that pigment.

Start with a consultation so we can assess the tattoo, discuss likely outcomes and provide a personalised quote. Pricing is not listed as a fixed package for every design, because size, colours and complexity vary. We are at Haland House, 66 York Road, Weybridge KT13 9DY, open 10am–7pm, seven days a week.

A carbon facial — also known as a carbon Hollywood facial or carbon laser facial — is a skin treatment that uses a fine carbon lotion or mask on the face, followed by laser energy. The carbon absorbs the laser light and is vaporised from the skin surface, helping to lift away impurities as it goes. At ONYX & NOIR in Weybridge, carbon laser facials sit alongside our private aesthetics offering and are approached with the same emphasis on precision, discretion and a personalised plan after consultation.

A thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied so it can settle into the skin’s surface and pores. A laser — commonly a Q-switched laser in this type of treatment — is then passed over the face. The carbon particles absorb the energy and shatter or vaporise, taking surface debris and excess oil with them. The result is a clean, refined finish rather than a harsh peel. Exact settings and technique are confirmed after assessing your skin in consultation.

Clients typically seek a carbon facial for congested or oily skin, enlarged-looking pores, dullness, uneven texture and a general lack of radiance. It is often chosen as a refining, revitalising treatment rather than a dramatic resurfacing procedure. Results vary with skin type, lifestyle and how regularly you treat. We will advise honestly whether this is the right option for your skin goals.

It can suit many adults who want clearer-looking, smoother, brighter skin with little disruption to daily life. Oily, congested or dull complexions are common reasons to enquire, though suitability always depends on your skin history and current condition. Certain situations — such as pregnancy, active infection, recent strong sun or tan, or some medications and skin conditions — may mean treatment should be postponed or avoided. This is assessed carefully in consultation rather than assumed.

Most clients describe a warm, snapping or prickling sensation as the laser interacts with the carbon, rather than lasting pain. Comfort can vary across different areas of the face and with individual sensitivity. We work carefully and explain what to expect before we begin. If you are anxious about sensation, raise this at consultation so we can plan accordingly.

Sessions take around 60 minutes. A carbon facial typically includes consultation or review, cleansing, carbon application, laser passes and aftercare guidance. We confirm timing when you book. Please allow a little extra time at the studio so the treatment is not rushed.

Downtime is usually minimal. Mild redness or a warm feeling can appear afterwards and often settles quickly, though every skin responds differently. Many people return to normal activities the same day. Whether makeup is appropriate later that day or the next depends on your skin’s response and the guidance you receive after treatment. Follow the aftercare you are given in studio.

You will receive clear aftercare after your session. In general, keep the skin clean, avoid harsh exfoliants or strong active products until advised, and protect the face from unnecessary heat and strong sun while it settles. If anything feels unexpected — prolonged redness, irritation or discomfort — contact ONYX & NOIR for advice rather than self-treating with new products.

Many clients notice a fresher, cleaner, more refined look soon after treatment as surface impurities and oil are reduced. Texture and radiance can continue to look improved as the skin settles over the following days. A single session can refresh the complexion; a course may be discussed if your goals involve ongoing oil control or pore refinement. Expectations are set honestly at consultation.

Frequency depends on your skin type, concerns and how your skin responds. Some clients book occasionally for a brightening refresh; others prefer a spaced course for congestion or oiliness. We typically recommend a course of 4–6 sessions, spaced every 2–4 weeks, with occasional maintenance sessions to keep skin clear. Your plan is confirmed after assessing your skin.

A chemical peel uses acids to encourage controlled exfoliation of the skin. A carbon facial uses carbon plus laser energy to target surface impurities and refine the complexion, usually with a different sensation and typically lighter downtime profile for many clients. Neither replaces the other for every concern. Consultation helps decide which approach — or whether another treatment — better matches your skin and diary.

Sometimes, but spacing and order matter. Combining treatments too closely can irritate the skin or reduce the quality of results. What can be paired safely depends on your skin, recent procedures and the products or devices involved. Please tell us about any recent peels, injectables, laser work or strong skincare so we can advise on suitable timing.

Arrive with clean skin where possible and avoid recent strong sun exposure on the face. Share details of medications, allergies, active breakouts, cold sores or recent aesthetic treatments when you book or at consultation. If you use prescription topicals or strong acids, mention them — we may ask you to pause certain products before treatment. Specific prep notes are confirmed when your appointment is arranged.

After a brief review of your skin and goals, the face is cleansed and a fine carbon layer is applied. Once ready, the laser is passed over the treatment area so the carbon can absorb the energy and lift away from the skin. The skin is then checked and aftercare is explained. Treatment is one-to-one in our private Weybridge studio, with the same discreet, considered standard we apply across our aesthetics work.

A single carbon laser facial is £100. Course packages are available: 3 sessions for £285, 6 sessions for £525 and 12 sessions for £1,000. If you are new to laser treatments, we will check suitability before your first session. ONYX & NOIR is at Haland House, 66 York Road, Weybridge KT13 9DY, open 10am–7pm, seven days a week.
