Medical practitioners say that todays generation is more fortunate because advances in medicine and cosmetic dermatology have been so rapid that practically any threat to staying young can be addressed. <\/p>\n
Lasers and stem-cell therapy are just two of the innovations we have seen in recent decades that are helping people stay young and beautiful. <\/p>\n
Among the growing number of Filipino doctors who are keeping abreast of these trends is Dr. Francis Decangchon. A graduate of the University of Santo Tomas College of Medicine and a practitioner of cosmetic dermatology for years, Dr. Decangchon has branched out into regenerative or anti-aging medicine. <\/p>\n

He explains that, during the 1950s and 60s, those who wanted to stay young had to resort to radical measures that involved invasive, meaning surgical, procedures. Of late, however, the emphasis has shifted to minimally invasive, less invasive or, in some cases, non-invasive ways of defying age. <\/p>\n
When women, for instance, reach their 30s and 40s, they start losing their natural supply of collagen and elastin. The skin begins to sag and lose its elasticity. <\/p>\n
Fortunately, theres a solution. <\/p>\n
Nowadays there are patients who, at 30 years old, can already start having lifting, so by the time they are in their 50s and 60s, banat pa yan, says Dr. Decangchon. Lasers are also used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. <\/p>\n
Hormone replacement <\/p>\n
The Asian Center for Ageless Beauty is a clinic that offers regenerative medicine treatment. <\/p>\n
