— MICROPIGMENTATION · Barcelona
María Dolores Pérez Sancho · Nurse specialised in micropigmentation
Permanent definition and colour for the lips. Lip micropigmentation outlines the contour, evens out the tone and adds visual volume without filler — a result you can wear without make-up that lasts for years.
In short
Lip micropigmentation adds colour and defines the contour naturally. It usually takes 1–2 sessions, recovery is minimal and results last 1–3 years. Price: €395 per session. At Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez's practice in Clínica Sagrada Família (Barcelona), with a prior medical assessment.
María Dolores Pérez Sancho explains how we redesign the lip outline and colour, from a natural tone to a more made-up effect.
Medical judgement
“Well-done lip micropigmentation doesn't read as permanent make-up. It reads as beautiful lips — with their own colour, a defined outline and no pencil lines that wear off within the hour.”María Dolores Pérez Sancho
Technique · Lip micropigmentation
Outline and colour, made for you.
Redefines the contour and Cupid's bow.
From a natural tone to a more made-up one.
Hypoallergenic, in the shade you choose.
What it treats
Many lips have a poorly defined outline — the line between lip and skin is blurred, irregular or asymmetric. Micropigmentation defines that outline precisely, without lip liner. The result is a more present, sharper lip — without exaggerating or changing its natural shape.
A naturally thinner upper lip — or a short upper lip that shows little volume — improves very visibly with micropigmentation. A well-designed outline and the right shade create the illusion of fuller lips without filler. It's the most natural volume effect available.
Natural lip colour can fade with age, sun exposure or simply genetics. Micropigmentation evens out and enhances lip colour permanently — no lipstick needed. The shade is chosen to look good on its own and with make-up on top.
Fine lines around the mouth make lipstick bleed and the lip outline lose definition over time. Micropigmenting the contour creates a visual boundary that defines the lip and reduces the perception of those lines without filler.
The practical side
Everything you need to know before your consultation. No small print.
It varies with skin type, sun exposure and skin. Lips fade slightly faster than brows because the area is constantly moist.
A first session and a touch-up at 4–6 weeks. The final result shows after the touch-up, once the pigment has settled.
Possible mild swelling for the first few hours. The lips may look darker and more intense for the first days — they lighten as they heal.
It depends on the technique — outline only, shading or full lip. It is set at the assessment.

The guide price is €395 per session. It depends on the technique — outline only, shading or full lip — and is set at the assessment. The first consultation is free. You can see all fees on the prices page.
Usually 1–2 sessions: a first session and a touch-up at 4–6 weeks. The final result shows after the touch-up, once the pigment has settled.
At Clínica Sagrada Família, C/ Torras i Pujalt 1 (3rd floor), Barcelona. It is performed by María Dolores Pérez Sancho, a micropigmentation specialist.
The lips are very sensitive. We apply numbing cream for 30–45 minutes beforehand — with good numbing the discomfort is tolerable. Even so, it's the micropigmentation area you feel most. Most patients describe a constant warmth or stinging that varies across the lip.
For the first 3–5 days the lips look much darker and more intense than the final result — this is completely normal and expected. The pigment lightens by 30–40% as it heals. There may also be some swelling and tightness for the first 24–48 hours. The real result shows from 4–6 weeks.
Yes. Micropigmentation is the base — you can wear lipstick on top without a problem. The pigment shade is chosen to work on its own and under any lipstick. It simplifies your routine without limiting it.
Between 1 and 3 years depending on skin type, sun exposure, how hydrated the lips usually are and the use of acids or retinol on the area. Lips tend to fade slightly faster than brows — constant moisture and movement speed up fading.
Yes, with precautions. The treatment can trigger cold sores in people with a history of them, so we prescribe antiviral prevention around the session. If you have an active cold sore at the time of your appointment, it must be postponed until it's completely inactive.
Yes, but at different times. If you already have filler, wait until it has settled — at least 4 weeks. If you want both, I recommend starting with micropigmentation — the outline design defines the lip we want, and filler can be adjusted to that design afterwards.
Don't wet or rub the lips for the first 24 hours. No lipstick or acid products while healing — about 2 weeks. Apply the prescribed healing cream as directed. Avoid direct sun on the area. No kissing or friction on the lips for the first few days. Full healing takes 4–6 weeks.
