Dr. Manny Calayan is a skilled cosmetic surgeon who mastered the art of reconstructive rejuvenation. It is then undeniable that he has anti-aging secrets that we are curious to know and we’re wondering how different it might be from a dermatologist.

We urge Dr. Manny to let us know if there are any routines he follows or procedures he swears by and luckily, we got some insider information that we can share with you when it comes to defying aging skin! His important note: it’s never too young to start with your age-defying journey.

 
Start with an intact basics
An anti-aging routine starts with getting the basics right and Dr. Manny says it doesn’t have to be fancy. When he mentioned the basics, you are right when you thought of gentle cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. Making sure these are part of your skincare routine can get you places! 

Gentle cleansers wash away pollution and dirt that can turn into skin-damaging free radicals. Toners, especially those with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, retinol, or vitamin C, are perfect for plumping up the skin and encouraging healthy skin turnover. Moisturizers keep the skin well hydrated and help maturing skin feel comfortable.

Never missing SPF
Your sunscreen doesn’t need to have a high SPF to kickstart your sun protection – SPF30 would totally suffice! The sun’s UV rays, whether UVA or UVB, are greatly damaging to the skin. Age spots, loss of skin elasticity, rough and uneven skin texture, and wrinkling are only a few photoaging symptoms that can appear on the skin as early as in your mid-twenties. Apply sunscreen religiously every day and re-apply after swimming or sweating to maximize the results.

Consider in-office treatments/procedures
Dr. Manny recommends stepping up your anti-aging routine by having your skin checked by a dermatologist and opting for in-office procedures. This will ensure that you know what your skin needs while it is maturing — from having a specific routine with special add-ons (such as serums or creams) to procedures that you may need.

In fact, Dr. Manny swears by the following treatments in keeping his skin in tip-top shape 

• Botox
  This treatment has a strong reputation when it comes to addressing fine lines and wrinkles, before and when it appears. When introduced to the muscles, it can prevent these from forming or from going deeper.
  
• Royal Facial
  This non-invasive treatment is perfect for those who are not ready yet to go under the knife. Using an ultrasonic probe and bipolar radiofrequency technology, also with the help of cryotherapy, the skin is lifted and tightened for a firmer feel and look.

Now that we know Dr. Manny’s anti-aging secrets, we hope this inspires you to take care of your skin so you can feel and look young as long as you can.
