If you’re considering permanent makeup but aren’t sure what the first session involves, you’re in the right place. At M.E. by Megan Emden, we prioritize your comfort and confidence at every step. Here’s what you can expect during your first visit:

1. Personalized Consultation

Your first session begins with a conversation. We’ll take the time to understand your goals, preferences, and concerns. We’ll discuss the desired look, including shape, color, and style. Together, we’ll consider factors like your skin tone, face shape, and lifestyle to design a look that feels uniquely you.

To help you visualize the final results, we’ll create a pre-draw or outline on your skin using a makeup pencil. This step ensures you’re happy with the design before we begin.

2. Preparation for the Procedure

Once we’ve finalized the design, the area will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. To minimize discomfort, we’ll apply a numbing cream or anesthetic to the treatment area. While this takes effect, we’ll go over the procedure with you so you know exactly what to expect.

3. The Procedure

Using a specialized tool or machine, we’ll carefully implant pigment into your skin. Depending on the service (brows, eyeliner, lips, or scar camouflage), the process may involve creating fine, natural-looking strokes or soft shading. We’ll pause periodically to show you the progress and make any adjustments if needed.

4. Reviewing the Results

Once the procedure is complete, we’ll review the final results together. This is the time to ensure you’re satisfied with the look and feel of your new enhancement. Every step is designed to prioritize your input and comfort.

5. Aftercare Guidance

Before you leave, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your skin heal properly and maintain the best results. You’ll also receive an aftercare kit with recommended products, such as ointments or creams. Proper aftercare is essential for healing and ensuring long-lasting results.

6. Scheduling Your Touch-Up

Most permanent makeup procedures require a touch-up session 4–6 weeks after the initial treatment. During this appointment, we’ll refine the work, ensuring the color and shape are perfect and long-lasting.

Final Thoughts

Your first permanent makeup session is an exciting step toward simplifying your beauty routine and boosting your confidence. At M.E. by Megan Emden, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless and empowering experience.
