Thermage at 36

Jason R. Lupton, MD answers: Is 36 year old too young for Thermage?

I am 36 years old and I am considering Thermage. I have fair, tight skin and have subtle signs of aging (little sagging around my mouth). But is 36 years too young? Or is it better to start young to keep your skin in good condition? Or wait until there are more signs of aging?

Thanks for advice, regards from Holland.

Thermage is usually an excellent option for younger patients like yourself.  Most people first start to notice visible signs of aging in their early 30's and Thermage can be a great way to combat these changes and induce new collagen formation and a general firming to the skin.  I have been performing Thermage for more than 8 years now and the younger, more fit patients typically have the best results.  I think Thermage is a great treatment option (in addition to skin care, possibly Botox etc.) for younger patients who want to address aging concerns early before they become too noticeable.

Good luck.
