What Is Dermaplaning?

When skin rejuvenation treatments like microdermabrasion and facials are not helping you attain your desired outcome, but you aren’t ready to seek more invasive procedures, you may be a candidate for dermaplaning skin resurfacing.

This procedure is an exciting skin and facial rejuvenation treatment that smooths the skin by stripping away dead skin cells and vellus facial hair for a soft, radiant complexion. Also called dermablading, this treatment is completed with a careful scraping technique by a surgical scalpel. Plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters is thrilled to offer dermaplaning treatments at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa in New Orleans, LA. Dermaplaning is very popular because it is nonsurgical and can provide smooth, beautiful skin safely and efficiently.

Is Dermaplaning Right for Me?

Dermaplaning procedures are safe and effective skin treatments for nearly all skin tones. Men and women with severe acne should discuss their skin condition with our team beforehand. Ideal candidates for this procedure:

  • Are searching for something other than microdermabrasion and chemical peels
  • Do not have rosacea
  • Have an abundance of fine facial hair
  • Do not have highly sensitive skin
  • Have uneven skin tone

How Is Dermaplaning Performed?

Our experienced aestheticians perform dermaplaning procedures in the comfort of our beautiful new office.

After cleansing and prepping the skin, the dermaplaning will begin with a painless, gentle scraping of the surface of the face with a scalpel. The time needed will depend upon whether part of or the full face will be treated. At a consultation beforehand, Dr. Walters will help you to understand the procedure with clarity.

What Results Can I Expect from Dermaplaning?

In the hours following your dermaplaning treatment, you should expect mild redness. This is a normal reaction that will subside shortly. It’s not uncommon for small amounts of flaking to occur as the skin heals.

Patients will need to avoid prolonged sun exposure as the face will be sensitive in the days following the procedure. Patients can expect results soon after, as dermaplaning produces smoother, softer skin instantaneously. To help you protect your refreshed skin, our team will discuss an improved skincare routine with you, including the highly recommended daily application of sunscreen.

“Went to Maggie for the first time for Botox and filler, and she was absolutely phenomenal! She took her time and educated me on everything and gave me a personalized plan. I am beyond happy with how everything came out. Thanks to her amazing work, I feel like I have an overall more youthful, but still natural look! Cannot wait to go back!”

Amanda T. New Orleans, LA Botox + filler

“Beautiful office with amazing results and staff! I got my rapid recovery breast augmentation done in October 2024 and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. I went through a series of appointments disclosing what would be best suited for my body and lifestyle, along with what I wanted to personally achieve. Dr. Walters did a great job walking me through every step of the process and preparing me for my procedure. … I value the office’s goal to achieve natural results and how easy they are to work with throughout the process. Recommend to everyone looking for any cosmetic work!”

Hannah B. New Orleans, LA, breast augmentation and Botox patient.

“I cannot express how wonderful of an experience this has been and how comfortable I felt from the moment I walked in. Dr. Walters and his staff were so knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and they put me completely at ease. I am extremely happy with my results - even more than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Dr. Walters and would absolutely recommend him again for any future procedures.”

Sarah M. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgery patient.

“My experience with Dr. Walters and the team at The Modern was absolutely top-notch! I was nervous coming in for my initial consultation, but the warm and welcoming staff immediately put me at ease. During my first consult, Dr. Walters took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and explain how each option would impact the overall result. … If you’re looking for a surgeon who is respectful, listens, and delivers stunning results, look no further than Dr. Walters. I couldn’t be happier with my experience—and my results!”

Amanda H. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgery patient.

“Everything about the Modern is amazing! All the staff are very sweet and welcoming on every visit. Maggie is hands down the best injector in the city! I was very hesitant to get filler and Botox, but I'm so glad I did, thanks to Maggie. She explains everything so well and takes the time to understand what you want. Everything she did looked so natural, I couldn't be happier with the results! I recommend Maggie and the Modern to all my friends and family.”

Rebekah E. New Orleans, LA, injectables patient.

“From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and professional. My injector, Maggie, is truly outstanding. … I like how she tailors her work to each individual, instead of doing a ‘one-size-fits-all’. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my lips, and I feel so much more confident! I highly recommend this place to anyone considering lip filler.”

Dana C. New Orleans, LA, lip filler patient.

“Had a breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Walters at the MODERN in October 2024 and couldn’t be happier with the results and outcome! I always highly recommend Dr. Walters to any of my friends who are interested in getting their breasts done. Dr. Walters is very personable, and I loved that he gave me his personal cell number to contact him if I had any questions. … His staff is SO wonderful, and I also go there for other things too, like Botox with Maggie and facials with Zea! 10/10 highly recommend going to the MODERN.”
