Navigating the world of lash lifts and brow laminations can be a bit overwhelming, so let’s simplify it.
There are two main systems: the TGA system, which stands for Ammonium Thioglycolate, and the Cysteamine system. We offer both options to give you the freedom to choose which one suits you best. However, we’ve noticed that lash lift training often lacks discussion about these two systems.
The TGA system is traditional and quick, having been the primary choice before the introduction of Cysteamine. While it delivers fantastic results, it requires careful monitoring to avoid over-processing.
Many argue that the TGA system is detrimental to eyebrows, but with proper training and adjusted timings, it can yield long-lasting results without issues.
On the other hand, the Cysteamine system is slightly slower but is designed to be less prone to over-processing, making it ideal for beginners who want to take their time perfecting their technique. It’s also a great option for those with sensitive skin.
With the TGA system, cling film is not used, and application should stop short of the tips to prevent over-processing.
In contrast, the Cysteamine system allows for cling film use and full-tip application. Both systems are influenced by room temperature, affecting processing speed, which is why regular lash and brow checks are essential to avoid over or under-processing.
