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.
Answer: What is the right age for Thermage? To put it simply, it has more to do with the condition of your skin than your absolute age. In some ways it makes sense to start younger, because as we have gained experience with Thermage we have found that the more elastic tone there is in the skin, the better the response. So younger skin does better. This is somewhat ironic because those who are a little older with thinner skin will not do as well even though they need it more. I think that is why some people express disappointment with the results.

Answer: Age alone is not the deciding factor in Thermage When deciding any anti-aging procedure including Thermage it has more to do with the quality of your skin and how you are aging than your actual number. The better your skin tone and texture the better the results with Thermage. Whether you are 36 or 46 it has more to do with the subtle signs of aging that can be addressed. If you do small non-surgical procedures to prevent sagging and aging these can be your best investments rather than waiting until you look really tired and have more significant signs of aging.

Answer: At 36, Thermage is a good maintenance and preventative treatment The aging process of the mid thirties is variable but often results in the beginning stages of loss of collagen and elastin, loss of midface fat, and a bit of sagging resulting in a mild squaring of the jawline. Thermage, by inducing collagen, can tighten the skin in these areas or at least help slow the further effect of aging. The length of time one is "maintained" is probably most dependant on ones genetics and sunexposure. Most persons at 36 don't need a facelift or blepharoplasty, but they very well might benefit from the refreshing and tightening provided by Thermage.
