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.

Without a photo it is impossible to tell what is happening to your eyes. I would recommend returning to your treating physician for examination. The results from Thermage take approximately four months to see the results. Please consult an expert in Thermage for the best cosmetic results. Be...
Thermage radio frequency tightens existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen to give a firming, tightening and lifting effect. It does not take the place of a face lift so it is best to have a consultation to see if you would be a good candidate.
Thermage radio frequency does not remove fat. It can tighten loose skin after a pregnancy. You should wait until after the pregnancy and you are at your ideal weight before considering Thermage skin tightening. There are other options for fat removal such as UltraShape.
