Medical judgement

“Genital vitiligo is no different from facial vitiligo in its origin. It is different in how it affects you — and in how it has to be approached. The technique, the pigment and the judgement change completely.”

What it treats

What does genital vitiligo micropigmentation improve?

01

Vitiligo on the external genitals

Vitiligo on the external genitals — labia, pubic area, scrotum, penis — is one of the locations that most affects body image in intimacy. Micropigmentation with pigments specific to mucosal skin matches the tone of the patches precisely to the surrounding skin, with a very natural result in normal light.

Perianal and perineal vitiligo

The perianal area and perineum are where vitiligo often appears and where the impact on intimacy can be significant. Micropigmentation here needs pigments specific to genital skin and techniques adapted to skin with different characteristics from the face or body.

Pubic and groin area

Stable vitiligo in the pubic and groin area can be treated effectively with micropigmentation. It's a transition zone between abdominal and genital skin — the technique and pigments are adapted to each zone's tone, with a very careful gradient to ensure continuity with the surrounding skin.

No response to previous dermatological treatment

For patients with genital vitiligo who have followed dermatological treatments without repigmentation, and whose vitiligo is fully stable, micropigmentation is the effective camouflage alternative available. The consultation and treatment are completely confidential — discretion is part of the protocol.

The practical side

How long does it last, what is the 
recovery and how much does it cost?

Everything you need to know before your consultation. No small print.

How long it lasts
3–5years

Shorter than on facial skin — mucosal and genital skin process pigment faster.

Number of sessions
2–3sessions

6–8 weeks apart. Each session reviews the previous result. Pigment behaves less predictably in mucosal skin.

Recovery
Minimal

Possible mild tenderness for the first few hours. Specific aftercare for the area while healing. No real downtime.

Guide price
330€ / session

It depends on the extent, location and number of patches. It is set at the assessment.

Who it's for

Who is it right — and who is it not for?

A good candidate

It is a good fit if…

  • Your genital vitiligo is fully stable — no new patches in 12–24 months
  • Dermatological treatment hasn't repigmented the area
  • The patches have well-defined edges and a manageable size
  • You want a camouflage solution with medical judgement and complete confidentiality
  • You have realistic expectations — the aim is camouflage, not a cure
Better to wait or consider another option

I don't recommend it if…

  • Your vitiligo is active — spreading or with recent new patches
  • You have an active infection or inflammation in the area
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have a marked tendency to form keloids

Not sure if it's for you? That is exactly what the consultation is for: we'll tell you honestly what we see.

How much does genital vitiligo micropigmentation cost in Barcelona?

The guide price is €330 per session. It depends on the extent, location and number of patches, and is set at the assessment. The first consultation is free. You can see all fees on the prices page.

How many sessions do I need?

Usually 2–3 sessions, 6–8 weeks apart. Each session reviews the previous result. Pigment behaves less predictably in mucosal skin.

Where is it done and who does it?

At Clínica Sagrada Família, C/ Torras i Pujalt 1 (3rd floor), Barcelona. It is performed by María Dolores Pérez Sancho, a micropigmentation specialist.

Is micropigmentation safe in the genital area?

Yes, when done with the right materials and judgement. The key is using pigments specifically formulated for mucosal and genital skin — not all micropigmentation pigments are suitable for this area. The technique also differs from that used on the face or body.

How is it different from vitiligo elsewhere?

Genital and mucosal skin has a different pH, more moisture and reacts to pigment very differently from facial or body skin. Pigment fades faster, choosing the tone is more complex because mucosal skin has pinker, more variable tones, and aftercare is different. Results also last less than in other areas.

Is the consultation confidential?

Completely. Your information is protected by medical confidentiality. We never share information with third parties. The assessment follows the same protocol as any other medical consultation — no unnecessary questions, focused only on the clinical case.

Does it hurt?

We apply numbing cream beforehand. The genital area is sensitive — allowing enough time for numbing is especially important here. Most patients tolerate it well with correctly applied anaesthetic.

How long does the result last?

Between 3 and 5 years — slightly less than in other areas because genital skin processes pigment faster. A touch-up is recommended when the camouflage starts to lose intensity visibly. Protecting the area from direct sun helps the result last longer.

What aftercare is needed?

Keep the area dry and don't apply unprescribed products for the first 24–48 hours. Avoid friction and intense exercise for the first few days. No sexual intercourse for the first week. Apply the prescribed healing cream following the protocol for the area. We give you all instructions in writing before you leave.

Can I have it while still in dermatological treatment for vitiligo?

It depends on the treatment. Some topical vitiligo treatments — corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors — are compatible with micropigmentation if paused for a few days before and after the session. UV light treatments need a longer break. We assess it at the consultation according to your treatment.
