I Have Had Thermage on my Eyes and Face. I notice the results on the face more than the eyes. I'm wanting to do another procedure to tighten the skin on my eyelid. I don't want surgery. I don''t feel I need it yet. I'm still in my mid thirties and have good skin. If not, can anything other than Thermage be used on the lid? I was told e matrix but I don't need resurfacing. I'm not wrinkly, it just needs a little tightening because it looks a little puffy.Thanks.
