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!

I'd strongly suggest that you visit with a board certified dermatologist for an evaluation and possibly some allergy tests....

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 can provide some skin tightening under the eyes but does little for true textural abnormalities. The beauty of Thermage is, of course, that there is no associated down time. One laser procedure that does tighten skin...
