Dusan Sajic

Dr. Dusan Sajic is a board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist and a certified physician in anti-aging and precision medicine. His work sits at the intersection of clinical dermatology, longevity science, and real-world living — shaped not only by two decades of research and practice, but by a personal history that forced him to rethink everything he thought he knew about prevention.

Dusan grew up on the Adriatic coast and spent his youth rowing competitively, training outdoors through long hours of sun, heat, and open water. Even as a dermatologist, he believed he was doing everything “right”, until he developed skin cancer. That moment changed his understanding of what skin remembers, and how much damage accumulates long before it becomes visible. It also pushed him into a full 180: searching for solutions that didn’t yet exist for people who love the outdoors, want to stay active in the world, and don’t want to hide from the elements just to stay safe.

His journey led him deeper into longevity medicine, exploring how sun exposure, inflammation, metabolism, and mitochondrial health converge in the skin. Today he approaches skin not as a cosmetic category but as a living organ that mirrors cardiovascular health, cognitive aging, immune resilience, and emotional wellbeing. This perspective underpins his work at the Derma Skin Institute, where he trains physicians in true skin anti-aging using non-invasive technologies, targeted interventions, and evidence-based protocols grounded in the biology of repair.

As founder of Sajic Skin Science, he has continued to study how measurable tools — from antioxidant testing to mitochondrial analytics — can show when skin is improving, not just appearing to. His philosophy is simple: when we understand what the skin is telling us, we can live more fully in the environments we love.

As a podcast guest, Dusan brings a candid, science-driven perspective on how real skin longevity is built., helping audiences make sense of aging, sun exposure, and everyday habits through the lens of both clinical expertise and lived experience.
