Acne Scar Removal in Singapore
Acne scar removal here is a doctor-planned course, not a single machine. Dr Gerard Ee has treated acne scars for sixteen years and more than 2,000 patients, and every plan starts with the scar type: ice pick, boxcar or rolling, and usually a mixture. The full guide to how that decision is made, what each treatment does and what to expect is the acne scar treatment guide. This page is the short version: what is offered, what it costs, and how to book.
Acne scar removal at a glance
| Treatments | Fractional CO2 laser, Infini RF and Secret RF microneedling, subcision, TCA CROSS, Juvelook and Rejuran, combined over a six-month plan |
| Who does it | Dr Gerard Ee, MBBS (UK), MRCS (Edinburgh), PGDip Practical Dermatology (Cardiff) |
| Sessions | A course, four to six weeks apart, over about six months |
| From | $390 for a single fractional CO2 session; $4,000 for the six-month combination plan |
| Downtime | Recovery depends on the procedures and settings. Redness, swelling or temporary surface changes can follow RF or laser treatment; a combination course may involve different recovery periods at different visits. |
| Darker skin | Treatment is considered after assessing pigment history, skin condition and scar type. Infini is often considered for suitable scars; no device removes all pigment risk. |
For an explanation of the RF component of a scar plan, read RF microneedling in Singapore. It covers Secret RF and Infini, who may benefit, expected recovery and treatment risks.

Package prices, before GST. Individual sessions are charged separately and cost less; most scars need a course rather than a session, which is why the package figures are the ones that matter. The six-month plan is bundled and costs less than the treatments in it would cost separately. A full breakdown is in what acne scar treatment costs in Singapore.
What happens
A consultation to map your scars by type and decide the sequence. Photographs are taken. Most plans open with subcision and RF microneedling together, add fractional CO2 about a month later once the skin has settled, and finish with a biostimulator or Rejuran to rebuild and repair. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart so each round of collagen matures before the next. Improvement shows over three to six months, and the review at six months compares photographs. Active acne is settled first; scar treatment on skin that is still breaking out is money spent twice.

Acne scar removal FAQ
How much does acne scar removal cost in Singapore?
Here, from $390 for a single fractional CO2 session to $4,000 for the bundled six-month plan, before GST. Packages for Infini, Secret RF, subcision, Juvelook and Rejuran are listed above.
Can acne scars be removed completely?
No treatment removes a scar completely. A well-planned course typically improves scars by 20 to 30 per cent with energy-based treatment over six months, more when biostimulators are added.
How many sessions are needed?
A course of several sessions four to six weeks apart over about six months. The number depends on scar type and severity and is set at the consultation.
Is it safe for darker skin?
Many patients with darker skin can be treated, but the plan needs to account for previous pigment changes, current inflammation, scar type and recovery. I often consider insulated Infini for suitable scars. Neither insulation nor lower settings guarantees safety for everyone.
