Can a patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome get RF skin tightening?

1madscientistJan 30, 2020
In the last couple years, I have developed mild/moderate jowling, crepe-like skin along my neckline, and a worsening double chin. I would love to do a skin tightening procedure involving radio frequency both on the skin and sub-dermally. However, I was recently diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome involving joint and, as my doctor explained it, very mild skin laxity. My biggest fear and concern is that such a treatment would make my jowls and neck worse. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

The best combination treatment for the jaw area is a combination of skin tightening and volume in the jaw area.  I would suggest Thermage FLX to help best with skin tightening as the new technology heats the skin more efficiently and tightens the skin.  Volume in the jaw line can be a...
