Every client is different, and so are their lashes - which is why we’re giving you more ways to customise your clients lash lift experience.
Introducing London LashFixx™, our new cysteamine-based lash lifting system, designed to give professionals a cysteamine-based alternative to our TGA systems.
Whether you’ve been working with our tried-and-true TGA-based lash lifts or are exploring a cysteamine-based alternative, this is your guide to understanding the difference — and why both systems have a place in your salon.
What’s the Difference Between Cysteamine and TGA?
Both TGA (thioglycolate) and cysteamine are used in professional lash lifts to break down and reshape lash bonds - it’s what creates that long-lasting lift. The difference is in how they do it, and who they’re best suited for:
| Feature | TGA-Based Lift | Cysteamine (LashFixx™) |
|---|---|---|
| Reducing agent | Thioglycolate-based | Cysteamine-based |
| Professional choice | Choose according to the client's lashes, the system instructions, your training and the result you are working towards. | |
| Smell | Traditional perm scent | Low-odour, no ammonia |
| Vegan / Cruelty-Free | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Why Add LashFixx™ to Your Toolkit?
1. A Cysteamine-Based Alternative
London LashFixx™ uses cysteamine as its reducing agent. This gives trained professionals another formulation option alongside thioglycolate-based lash-lift systems; suitability should be assessed from the product instructions and client consultation rather than assuming one chemistry is universally “gentler”.
2. A Versatile Choice Alongside Your TGA System
Already loving your current TGA-based lash lifts? Brilliant. LashFixx™ simply gives you more flexibility. The two systems give trained professionals different formulation choices. Follow the timings and instructions for the system selected rather than treating cysteamine and TGA products as interchangeable.
3. Results Depend on the Lash and Protocol
Lift appearance and longevity vary between clients. Follow the LashFixx™ professional instructions and assess the lashes before every treatment rather than promising a fixed number of weeks.
Which Lash Lift Should You Use?
Choose the professional system that is appropriate for the client's lashes and the intended result, using the current product instructions and your training. Neither chemistry should be presented as automatically suitable for sensitive eyes or damaged lashes.
Both are professional-grade. Both deliver stunning results. The key is in knowing your client’s needs — and having the right system ready.
