One Shot vs Profusion: Which Lash Lift System Should You Use?

Many artists have been asking, “Which system gives better results?” — and the truth is, it’s not about choosing one over the other. Each system has its own unique strengths, and the best artists know when to use each. Let’s break it down.

The OG: Elleebana One Shot Lash Lift

Why artists love it:
Elleebana One Shot offers luscious, lifted lashes that can last up to 8 weeks — in a safe, 20-minute professional treatment.

How it works:
One Shot uses TGA (thioglycolic acid) to break down disulphide bonds and redirect the lash into a new shape — fast.

Key Benefits:
✔️ One of the fastest processing systems in the industry
✔️ Ideal for resistant lashes
✔️ Perfect for busy salons
✔️ Trusted worldwide for 30 years
✔️ Long-lasting results — even after swimming or showering
✔️ Nourishing formula with conditioning ingredients

The All-Rounder: Elleeplex Profusion

Why it was created:
As a brand focused on lash health, innovation, and flexibility, we developed Profusion for artists who want to offer both lash lifts and brow laminations — using one gentle, vegan-friendly formula.

How it works:
Profusion uses CHC (cysteamine hydrochloride) to gently restructure the hair while maintaining its strength and integrity.

✨ New Highlight: Profusion is Korean & Freestyle Technique Friendly

Profusion is incredibly versatile and can be applied to the tips of the lashes due to it being a gentle CHC system — making it perfect for:
✔️ Freestyle lash lifting – apply step 1 to the lashes before wrapping the lashes onto the shield, making them easier to wrap
✔️ Korean technique styles – mix our system with a viscosity controller of your choice to go glue free!

This flexibility gives artists more creative control while still ensuring the health of the lash.

Custom Processing Times — For Both Systems

Every client is different — so your timing should be too.

Elleebana One Shot

While One Shot’s 6 & 5 timing (6 mins for Step 1 / 5 mins for Step 2) works beautifully for most clients, there will always be variations.

Elleeplex Profusion

Profusion, on the other hand, has more forgiving timing. Artists have seen fantastic results with 13–15 mins for Step 1 / 9 mins for Step 2, especially on stronger hair types.

Reminder: Always base processing times on consultation and observation. Factors like ethnicity, hair thickness, medication, and growth patterns all play a role. You may need to extend pr shorten your processing times outside of our guidelines.

Lash Lift FAQs: Everything You Need to Know for Flawless, Long-Lasting Results

Lash Lift FAQs: Everything You Need to Know for Flawless, Long-Lasting Results

Are you curious about lash lifts and whether they’re right for you or your clients? You’re not alone! Lash lifts are one of the most popular beauty services today—but with popularity comes questions. From longevity to aftercare, we’ve rounded up the most frequently asked questions about lash lifts and answered them all right here.

At Elleebana, we’re proud to be global leaders in lash lift education and product innovation. Whether you’re new to lash lifts or a seasoned artist, this guide will give you the clarity and confidence to create stunning, safe, and long-lasting results — using the best in the business.

How long does a lash lift last?

A lash lift typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your client’s natural lash growth cycle and how well they follow aftercare instructions. Using a high-quality system like the Elleeplex Profusion Lash Lift System can help extend those results while nourishing the lashes during processing.

Will a lash lift damage my natural lashes?

When done correctly with professional products and training, a lash lift should not damage the lashes. In fact, our Elleeplex Profusion system and Elleebana One Shot System are formulated with lash health in mind, featuring nourishing ingredients. Plus, we offer advanced education that teaches proper timing, technique, and lash assessment — so you lift safely and confidently, every time.

Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?

Yes, you can wear mascara after a lash lift — but we recommend waiting 24–48 hours post-treatment to allow the lashes to fully set. For best results, avoid waterproof formulas and opt for nourishing mascaras, such as our Elleevate Lash Lift Mascara, specially designed to complement lifted lashes without breaking down the curl. Plus, this mascara CAN be worn directly after a lash lift without affecting the results!

How do I maintain my lash lift results?

Maintaining a lash lift is all about aftercare. Here are a few essential tips:

  • Avoid heat, steam, or heavy makeup for 24 hours.

  • Don’t rub your eyes or sleep face-down.

  • Use a nourishing aftercare product like Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare daily to keep lashes hydrated and healthy.

  • Encourage clients to brush their lashes gently with a clean spoolie.

 

What’s the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?

A lash lift enhances the natural lashes by curling and lifting them from the root, giving a wide-eyed, defined look with zero maintenance. Lash extensions, on the other hand, involve applying synthetic lashes onto natural lashes to add length, volume, and drama. A lift is perfect for clients who want a low-maintenance enhancement, while extensions offer more customization and fullness.

How soon can I get a lash lift again?

We recommend waiting at least 6–8 weeks between lash lifts to ensure the natural lash cycle has reset. It’s important to assess the clients lashes before they get another lash lift to ensure their lashes are in a healthy condition. Over-processing can lead to dryness or breakage, which is why proper timing and technique — taught in all Elleebana training programs — is essential.

Why did my lash lift not last or drop quickly?

There are a few common reasons:

  • Incorrect processing times (too short or too long).

  • The lashes weren’t fully cleaned or prepped.

  • The client did not follow the aftercare instructions given to them.

  • There was too much adhesive left on the lashes.

The managing director of Elleebana – Otto Mitter, taught a live webinar on the phenomenon of “The False Lift Paradox”. Dive deeper into the topic of ‘why did my lash lift drop overnight’ here.

Why Lash and Brow Artists Trust Elleebana – and Say So Loudly on Google

Why Lash and Brow Artists Trust Elleebana – and Say So Loudly on Google

Have you ever felt alone in your business?

Clients come and go, sharing snippets of their lives. You smile, nod, and do what you do best deliver beautiful lashes and brows. But when it comes to your own challenges, those silent struggles with technique, confidence, or product performance… who do you talk to?

The truth is, many beauty professionals feel isolated. Talking to clients about your frustrations can seem unprofessional. And if your lash lift results aren’t consistent or your brow lamination isn’t setting right, you’re left wondering, is it me?

At Elleebana, we understand that success in the salon isn’t just about the products on your trolley — it’s about the support behind them. That’s why we’ve built a brand around supporting salons first through world-class education, reliable product performance, and a community that truly cares.

🌟 Real Reviews from Real Professionals

One look at our Google reviews tells the story better than we ever could. Here’s what Kristy Franksen, a lash artist and salon owner, had to say:

“Your brand has given me the life I didn’t even know existed. My mental health suffered for years and now that I have a job that I get excited for every single day and a brand I can rely on 100%, I am soooo grateful. My training was almost 10 years ago with you guys, and I continue to love my job more and more everyday. The anxiety has gone, knowing I can confidently do Lash Lifts every day with amazing and consistent results. Honestly, I’ve never been so happy and grateful for the life I’ve been able to create and it’s thanks to Elleebana.”

— Kristy Franksen

💬 You’re Not Alone — You’re with Elleebana

From the moment you train with Elleebana or start using our lash lift and brow lamination products, you gain access to more than just tools, you gain a tribe.

Whether you’re troubleshooting lash lift curl inconsistencies or mastering lotion placement, Elleebana educators and our verified Lash Lift and Brow Lamination Society Facebook group are right there with you.

Our students often say:

  1. “The support doesn’t end after training.”
  2. “Elleebana educators genuinely care.”
  3. “I finally feel confident in my results — every single time.”

🔍 Why Elleebana Reviews Stand Out

In an industry filled with fast fads and marketing buzzwords, Elleebana stands firm on three pillars:

  1. Consistent product performance
  2. Exceptional training and aftercare
  3. A community-first mindset

That’s why thousands of salons worldwide continue to leave five-star Google reviews, praising not just our products, but how they feel using them  confident, supported, and empowered.
