Dermaplaning
Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue

RP Plastic Surgery offers professional dermaplaning treatments in Seattle and Bellevue for patients who want smoother, brighter skin without downtime. This non-invasive exfoliation treatment removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, helping to improve skin texture and enhance the performance of skincare products.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a superficial skin resurfacing treatment that manually exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin using a sterile surgical blade. It also removes vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. The result is a softer, more even complexion with improved glow and makeup application.
Unlike chemical peels or laser treatments, dermaplaning doesn’t rely on heat or acids. It’s an excellent foundation for treatments like Botox or dermal fillers, which benefit from smooth, prepped skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and tones. It may be a good option for individuals who:
- Have dull, dry, or rough skin texture
- Want to remove fine facial hair
- Are preparing for an event or photoshoot
- Prefer to avoid chemical exfoliants or lasers
- Have sensitive skin but still want exfoliation
It is not recommended for patients with active acne, open lesions, or skin infections. A consultation will help confirm whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin condition.
What to Expect During Dermaplaning
Each appointment begins with a brief evaluation by Dr. Parikh or Dr. Yang. They will assess your skin and determine whether dermaplaning alone—or combined with other non-surgical options like microneedling or a light chemical peel—will help you meet your goals.
The treatment itself takes 20-30 minutes. Your provider will use a sterile, single-use blade to carefully glide across the surface of your skin, removing dead cells and peach fuzz with light, controlled strokes. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia.
What to Expect After Dermaplaning
There is no downtime after dermaplaning. You can resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness may occur for a few hours but typically fades quickly.
Because the outer layer of skin is freshly exfoliated, you’ll need to avoid harsh products and sun exposure for the first 24 hours. Daily sunscreen use is strongly recommended. Most patients immediately see smoother, more radiant skin, with results lasting up to four weeks.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers immediate improvement in skin appearance and texture. Benefits include:
- Smoother, softer skin
- Brighter, more even tone
- Improved makeup application
- Better absorption of skincare products
- No pain or downtime
- Gentle removal of facial hair
This treatment is ideal for patients looking for a quick refresh or regular maintenance as part of their monthly skincare routine.
How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost in Seattle & Bellevue?
Dermaplaning costs vary depending on your provider and whether it’s performed alone or alongside other treatments. It may be combined with HydraFacial or chemical peels for some patients to boost results. Pricing will be discussed during your consultation.
