laser for wrinkle reduction
Our Approach to Wrinkle Reduction with Laser
At Dr Hadges Medical Aesthetics, we offer non-invasive laser solutions to help refresh your skin, soften fine lines, and support natural collagen regeneration — without surgery or downtime. Using medically guided laser therapy, we help strengthen your skin’s internal structure while improving overall tone, texture, and resilience.
Our approach focuses on stimulating your skin’s natural healing and renewal processes over time. Through gentle dermal heating, the treatment supports collagen and elastin production, key components of firm, youthful-looking skin, while softening early signs of ageing and promoting a visibly smoother appearance.

LASER for WRINKLE REDUCTION
TREATMENT JOURNEY
Before any treatment, you’ll meet with Dr Hadges for a full consultation to assess your skin quality, goals, and treatment suitability.
We will:
Examine your skin’s elasticity, texture, and concerns.
Discuss previous treatments, skincare, and health history.
Determine if laser therapy is appropriate for your needs.
Create a personalised plan to restore smoothness, tone, and vitality — safely and gradually.
Discuss a staged, realistic plan to safely manage pigmentation over time.
Once your plan is confirmed, your treatment is performed using a medical-grade laser device, selected to gently stimulate dermal collagen.
Treatment lasts 30–45 minutes.
Most clients describe a gentle warming sensation, not discomfort.
No numbing or downtime required.
The device is moved over the skin in a controlled, consistent pattern to evenly stimulate renewal.
You may notice an immediate glow, with results building over time.
Skin tightening and collagen stimulation work progressively over weeks and months. We support you throughout this process.
After your treatment, we:
Recommend skincare to enhance collagen regeneration
Monitor results at follow-up and adjust your plan as needed
Space treatments to allow optimal collagen response (typically every 3–4 weeks during a course)
Offer advice on maintenance care, SPF, and healthy skin practices

While some patients notice a refreshed glow right away, the real benefits — including smoother, firmer skin — build gradually over 4–12 weeks as collagen regenerates.
A course of 3–6 treatments is commonly recommended for best results, depending on your skin type, age, and goals. Maintenance may be advised every few months thereafter.
