Thermage for Rough Under Eye Skin?

Hello, I am a 30-year-old male and I want to know if Thermage will work for me. I have very rough, bumpy, redish skin under my eyes and it makes me look very tired all the time. The skin is somewhat flaccid, but it is mainly the texture and redish purple aspect that give me that undesired look. It seems that if the skin under my eyes was healthier and less rough, I wouldn't have this tired look since I have no bags. Will thermage help improve the skin condition under my eyes? Thank you so much!

A: Thermage is for tightening, not for wrinkles, I would recommend laser resurfacing

I would recommend laser resurfacing options such as fraxel lasers, erbium lasers and the like. There are non-ablative lasers such as v beam, cool touch etc but they are very subtle in their improvements.  Chemical peels are also helpul in improving wrinkles under the eyes.

Thermage or Blepharoplasty for Sagging Under Eyes?

Will Thermage fix my under eye sagging skin, or will a lower Blepharoplasty work better?

A: Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that produces mild to modest improvement in laxity

Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that produces a deep heat in the tissue.  I have seen mild to modest improvement with this treatment.  Another option for laxity of the skin might be the fractionated lasers or other resurfacing lasers depending on your skin type and color.
