I'm 25-year-old Asian female with hooding beginning on one eyelid. Is facial Thermage appopriate for younger skin? Is it possible the every 2-year follow-up procedures will not be needed for my case, if I take good care of my skin following as I am still fairly young?

Answer: Thermage at 25
We have had some really excellent results in improving sagging upper eyelids in patients treated with Thermage. For some patients it does take two treatments to see a more noticeable improvement. If you don't feel surgery is an option for you yet, or your surgeon doesn't, then Thermage can be an excellent alternative. Though results are not guaranteed, our patients have been pleased. Unfortunately, even if you take excellent care of your skin, aging still occurs, gravity is still in effect and collagen does degrade, so you'll need follow up/maintenance treatment at some point. Thermage can be an excellent part of preventative treatment.

Answer: Thermage in younger adults Thermage may be a good alternative for you since at 25 you probably are not too interested in surgical options. Thermage tends to work well in those who are younger, generally fit with good skin tone. Results with Thermage on eyelid skin may be dramatic for some individuals. I think Thermage may be a reasonable option to consider especially if you want to delay or even avoid surgery. Good luck.
