Precise semi-permanent lip liner to define and reshape the lip border — lasting symmetry, no daily pencil needed. Expert SPMU at Obsidian Clinics, Edinburgh.
Semi-permanent lip liner deposits pigment precisely along the vermilion border — the natural edge of the lip — to create a defined, symmetrical lip line that is always in place. It corrects uneven or faded lip borders, restores definition to lips that have lost their outline through ageing or naturally thin structure, and provides a permanent outlined effect that eliminates daily lip pencil application.
Unlike lip blush, which covers the entire lip surface with tint, lip liner concentrates on the border alone — ideal for clients who want subtle definition rather than full colour, or as a preparation layer before a full lip blush. The two are frequently combined at Obsidian Clinics Edinburgh for a complete lip enhancement: a defined border with a soft flush of colour across the body of the lip.
Results last two to three years, with treatment performed under full medical supervision. A 6–8 week review appointment is included to assess healing and refine the lip line.

Post-treatment care instructions and 6–8 week review appointment.
Yes. Lip liner defines the border only; lip blush covers the entire lip with a soft tint. They are frequently combined for a complete result. Lip liner alone suits those wanting subtle definition without full colour.
Yes. Precise measurement and symmetry mapping create a balanced, flattering lip shape tailored to your face.
When applied with a well-matched pigment, it is indistinguishable from a perfectly applied lip pencil — tailored to your natural lip contour.
In the first 2–3 days the liner appears darker than the final result; mild swelling is normal. Colour softens over 10–14 days. Full result visible at 4–6 weeks, assessed at the 6–8 week review.
Yes — fillers must be settled (at least 4 weeks) before or after lip liner. Discuss your full treatment goals at consultation.
