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.

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

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

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

For small areas, indication not size determines coverage.
