Is mole removal at NSC cheaper than at a private clinic in Singapore?

Doctor's Answers 2

I think the charges for mole removal in Singapore at private clinics or NSC are pretty comparable.

The cost at NSC depends primarily on factors like:

  1. Size and location of mole
  2. Method of removal (excision vs lasers)

The cost for excision removal at NSC starts from $300 – $400 and up, and only requires 1 session.

The cost for laser removal at NSC starts from $300 and up, and typically requires a few sessions. Not all moles can be lasered off.

As NSC rates are standardised, you may be able to find some private clinics that do it for cheaper.

Usually it is easier and faster to get an appointment at private clinics. Both can issue MCs – at most, it will be a 1 day MC as it’s a very very minor procedure. Most wounds on the face heal within a week.

Do note that there’s a chance that moles can come back! You can check out this post on mole removal in Singapore for more information.

Hope this helps.

I agree with Dr Chua’s take. In fact from what I know, some private clinics do perform mole removal at very competitive prices.

But do note (as Dr Chua as stated) that some moles do recur soon after, and may need an additional session for removal.

Hope this helps!

Which type of specialist should I see to perform an excision removal of a mole on my face?

If you are planning to excise the mole using surgical method, then your alternatives are : 1. Plastic Surgeons (facial, body and burns surgeons who specialize on reconstruction and aesthetic surgery) 2. Facial Plastic Surgeons (ENT surgeons who specialize in facial reconstruction and/or aesthetic surgery) 3. Oral-Maxillo-Facial Surgeons (Oral Maxillo Facial dental specialist surgeons who specialize in facial reconstruction and/or aesthetic surgery) These 3 would be your best bets, do call up to check prices first after googling for a suitable surgeon.

Where is the best place for mole removal in Singapore?

There are many clinics in Singapore that do mole removal. Private clinics are usually a little more pricey than government hospitals such as National Skin Center. However, National Skin Center’s waiting list is usually very long, can be up to 3-6 months. The more important factor to consider is to get your mole assessed properly before getting it removed. Laser removal over many sessions may not be a good way to remove a mole because the risk of mole recurrence can be high, and the mole cannot be assessed in the lab for any signs of skin cancer.
