The P.I.L.L.A.R. Method™ is an innovative approach to pro-aging skincare developed by Spa Circle as part of their Pro Aging Skin Series. This comprehensive method focuses on preserving and stimulating collagen production while supporting overall skin health and longevity through both topical and oral approaches.

Coined the P.I.L.L.A.R. Method™ due to the core focus being on Collagen which is an abundant protein responsible for giving the skin structure and support just like "pillars" for a building. Collagen keeps our skin firm and youthful in appearance. 

Here's a breakdown of the P.I.L.L.A.R. Method™

Preserve - Shield collagen with antioxidants, peptides, and SPF, protecting the skin from environmental stressors.

This step aims to protect existing collagen and shield the skin from environmental damage. Antioxidants play a crucial role in this preservation process. Studies have shown that topical antioxidants like vitamin C can protect against photoaging, reduce wrinkles, and support collagen synthesis

Invest - The P.I.L.L.A.R. Method™ is a lifestyle to support overall skin health and longevity through both topical and oral approaches

Investing in the skin involves using treatments that stimulate collagen production for long-term benefits but also ensuring that your fibroblasts have exactly what they need to produce quality collagen, we do this by taking a topical and internal approach. 

Lift - Encourage skin tightening and firmness

This component focuses on enhancing skin firmness and elasticity. Think specialist pro aging techniques like microneedling or Japanese Gua Sha into the scalp & behind the ears to create a lift in the face. 

Lock - Locking in hydration and nutrients is essential for maintaining skin barrier function & healthy collagen levels. 

Additionally research indicates that well hydrated skin is more resilient and better able to protect itself from environmental stressors.

Activate -  Deeper collagen activation

Restore - Optimise cellular processes for longevity 

Restoring skin resilience is key to maintaining a youthful appearance as we age. This involves supporting the skin's natural regenerative processes.

The P.I.L.L.A.R. Method™ emphasises a holistic approach to skincare, combining topical treatments with oral supplements to support skin health from the inside out. This aligns with research suggesting that both external and internal approaches are beneficial for optimal skin health
