Abrasive Therapy for Extensive Scarring: Managing Surface-Level Complications

Abrasive therapy may be used to manage extensive superficial scarring that causes discomfort or recurrent breakdown.

Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,000 – 4,000
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required

Coverage is possible when:
• Scars are symptomatic or post-traumatic
• Treatment aims at function or comfort

Document symptoms (pain, breakdown, restriction) rather than appearance.

Surface treatments can still be medically necessary.
