Are safety concerns preventing treatment of the face's most expressive part? In our Global Webinar Series, renowned Ocular Surgeons Professor Jonathan Roos and Dr Rashna Murphy explain why the delicate eye area offers significant aesthetic and functional gains. Combining expertise in ophthalmology and eyelid surgery, they explore the "renaissance" of microneedling.
Periocular Rejuvenation: A New Era with Microneedling and Exosomes
In this episode's highlights, get some of the key insights discussed, including:
Overcome practitioner anxiety by understanding the anatomical safeguards—such as tarsal plates and collagen density—that make the eye area safe to treat.
Unlock dual benefits by learning the groundbreaking link between rosacea and Dry Eye Disease, allowing you to offer aesthetic improvements that also relieve ocular symptoms.
Optimise safety and results using Dermapen 4®’s digital precision and adjustable needle depth to deliver collagen induction without compromising delicate tissue.

DermapenWorld hosted a webinar featuring renowned ocular surgeons Professor Jonathan Roos and Dr Rashna Murphy, who shared insights on the safety and efficacy of micro-needling, particularly in the delicate periocular area.
The session highlighted the aesthetic benefits and treatments for conditions such as dry eye. The periocular region is key to expressing youth and health, facilitating connection. Ophthalmologists confirm that safe treatment can be achieved with proper technique, and microneedling is a powerful and effective resurgence.
Precise and Repeatable: The Dermapen 4® device offers digitalised accuracy and consistent performance.
Collagen Induction: Dermapen 4® creates millions of micro-channels, stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen. This effectively rebuilds and tightens the skin.
Safety in the Eye Area: The device's adjustable needle depth allows for delicate treatments in the periocular region. Comprehensive protocols guide practitioners in the safe and practical application, addressing concerns about the eye. The eyelid's natural structure, including the tarsal plates and tissue layers, provides additional protection.
Low Downtime: Patients typically experience minimal downtime, with only a few hours to a day and a half of redness.
Long-Lasting Results: Collagen induction offers enduring improvements.
Professor Jonathan Roos further addressed concerns about treating the periocular area by detailing its protective anatomy. He emphasised the eye’s resilience and how various layers shield it during microneedling:
The eyelid has several layers, each providing a barrier: skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, fat (in certain areas), and tarsal plates (cartilage).
Tarsal Plates as a Shield: These robust cartilage plates within the eyelid offer significant protection. They are difficult to penetrate even with a proper surgical needle, making accidental injury from a micro needling device highly improbable.
Adjustable Needle Depth: Dermapen's precise control over needle depth enables superficial treatments around the eyes, down to mere microns (much less than a millimetre), further minimising risk.The Eyeball’s Resilience: The eyeball is composed of robust collagen. As Professor Roos explained, it is so strong that, during blunt trauma, the bones of the eye socket often fracture before the eyeball. This strength makes inadvertent penetration during microneedling doubtful.
These anatomical insights, combined with theDermapen 4®'s advanced technology and established protocols, underscore the safety of micro-needling for periocular rejuvenation.
Dr Rashna Murphy presented pivotal findings: microneedling can markedly improve dry eye disease. This widespread condition impacts over 100 million people and frequently co-occurs with rosacea.
Understanding the connection:
Rosacea and Dry Eyes: 80% of individuals with rosacea also suffer from dry eye disease. Rosacea contributes to inflammation and leaky blood vessels around the eyes, leading to clogged oil glands and dysfunction of the tear film.
Aesthetic and Functional Gains: By improving rosacea and periocular skin quality, microneedling can lessen dry eye symptoms. This represents a breakthrough for a challenging disease.
Inclusivity: Microneedling effectively treats dry eyes in all skin types, unlike specific light-based therapies that are unsuitable for darker skin tones.
Many common lash serums contain prostaglandin analogs, which may cause side effects, including a deeper upper sulcus, eyelid pigmentation, and iris colour changes. The EXO-GROW Lash and Brow technology provides a safer and more effective alternative.
Key benefits of EXO-GROW lash and brow:
No Prostaglandin Analogs: Our formulation excludes these ingredients to prevent undesirable side effects.
Exosome Technology: It incorporates exosome technology and peptides to support and enhance lash and brow growth naturally.
Safe and Effective: It provides a potent, non-toxic solution for lash and brow enhancement, elevating both aesthetics and well-being.
