Laser Excision of Burns Scar or Tattoo (<1% TBSA): Targeted Treatment for Small Areas

Laser excision may be used for small, symptomatic burn scars or other medically indicated superficial lesions over very limited body surface areas.

What It Costs

MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 300 – 800
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage depends on indication:
• Burn-scar treatment may be covered
• Tattoo removal is usually excluded

Insurance Tip

Ensure documentation clearly states burn scar symptoms (pain, restriction) rather than cosmetic intent.

Conclusion

For small areas, indication not size determines coverage.
