Is Thermage a viable treatment option for skin tightening on a patient with EDS type 3?

cnmar
I'm 33 and have been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobilty Type. I am noticing more crepey loose skin appearing on my body, face and neck. One eyebrow and eyelid is drooping more than the other side. I would like to know if thermage has been used for tightening skin of this type. If so, what were the results? Are there any studies on this or laser tightening treatments? Can collagen even be safely stimulated with type 3. I am finding nothing online about this.
