Several factors influence the cost of acne scar treatments in Singapore, including

Scar mix & complexity (rolling, boxcar, ice pick; mixed scars often need combos).
-
Number of sessions (plans are staged ~4–6 weeks apart).
-
Combination therapy (e.g., subcision + CO₂ + TCA CROSS).
-
Device & consumables (RF tips, product volumes).
-
Downtime tolerance & event timelines (more conservative vs aggressive settings).
-
Aftercare (sun protection; pigment‑safe routines).

How to Keep the Costs Reasonable
-
Match modality to scar type (e.g., rolling → <a href=”https://baclinic.sg/treatments/subcision-acne-scars/”>subcision</a> ± <a href=”https://baclinic.sg/laser-treatment-for-acne-scars/”>CO₂</a>).
-
Treat active acne first to prevent new scars (ask your doctor about a stabilisation step).
-
Protect from the sun to lower PIH risk (reduces extra corrective sessions).
-
Stage sessions sensibly (review results before committing to larger packages).
Doctor Consultation and Treatment Prices
Consultation fees with an aesthetic doctor in Singapore can range from SGD $100 to SGD $300.
The overall cost of the acne scar treatment plan recommended by the doctor will vary based on the prescribed treatments, with comprehensive treatment plans involving advanced techniques like subcision or fillers costing upwards of SGD $1,000.
Acne Scar Treatment Cost — FAQs
What is the typical cost range for acne scar treatment in Singapore?
Budgets vary by scar mix and sessions. As a planning guide, many patients budget roughly ~S$1,800–S$3,500 (mild), ~S$3,500–S$6,000 (moderate), and ~S$4,500–S$7,500 (severe). Your doctor will tailor a plan after assessment. For official “from” prices by treatment, see Acne Scar Treatment Singapore — Prices.
Why do clinics quote different prices for the same acne scar treatment?
Quotes differ due to device generation, consumables (e.g., RF tips), area size, treatment time, energy settings, and whether adjuncts or reviews are included. Always request an itemised breakdown before you begin.
Which affects total cost more — scar type or number of sessions?
Both matter. Mixed scarring (rolling, boxcar, ice pick) often needs a combination plan (e.g., subcision + fractional CO₂), while deeper scars may need more sessions. Your doctor will confirm the most efficient route.
How many sessions should I budget for?
Plans are typically staged every 4–6 weeks. Many patients need several sessions; the exact number depends on scar types, response, and downtime tolerance. You’ll get a personalised schedule after consultation.
Is a combination plan more expensive than one modality?
Combination plans can cost more per course, but they are often chosen to address different scar depths in fewer visits. The goal is better improvement per session rather than repeating a single modality many times.
Are consultation fees included in the treatment price?
Consultation fees vary by clinic and may be offset if you proceed. Confirm what’s included (assessment, reviews) and what’s separate (anaesthesia options, premium consumables) before booking.
What other charges should I ask about before I book?
Ask about anaesthesia (topical/injected), device consumables, aftercare products, optional top‑ups, and review visits. For official “from” prices by treatment, see our price list.
Can I space sessions to manage budget without losing results?
Yes. Sessions are commonly spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your doctor can help you pace treatments to fit downtime and budget while maintaining progress.
Will sun‑induced pigmentation (PIH) add to my costs?
It can. Inadequate sun protection can lead to PIH, which may require extra corrective sessions. Daily broad‑spectrum SPF helps protect your investment.
Are acne scar treatments covered by insurance or MediSave in Singapore?
Cosmetic acne scar procedures are typically not covered. Check directly with your insurer for any exceptions or add‑on benefits.
Is it cheaper to buy a package for acne scar treatment?
Packages may reduce per‑session fees, but they’re not ideal for everyone. Ensure periodic review so you only pay for modalities you actually need.
How can I keep acne scar treatment costs reasonable without compromising results?
Match modality to scar type (e.g., rolling → subcision ± CO₂), stabilise any active acne first, protect from sun to reduce PIH risk, and review progress before adding more sessions. For treatment options, downtime and official “from” prices, see Acne Scar Treatment in Singapore.
