Everything you need to know about Professional Korean Lash Lift
A Korean Lash Lift is the latest innovation transforming the lash industry – designed to create a flawless, lifted curl while maintaining the lash’s natural health. Unlike traditional lash lift systems, Phat Lash’s Korean Lash Lift uses a cysteamine-based formula to restructure lash bonds gently, leaving them stronger, softer and with a natural-looking curl.
At Adel Professional, you’ll find the full Phat Lash Korean Lash Lift system, including the Dream Set, Korean Lash Lift Powder, and Glueless Flat Shield, all trusted by professional lash artists across the UK.
What Is a Korean Lash Lift?
A Korean lash lift is an advanced treatment inspired by K-beauty innovation, focusing on healthy, damage-free results. It gently reforms the lash structure using cysteamine – a milder alternative to thioglycolic acid found in most traditional lash lift lotions.
Rather than forcing lashes into a tight curl, this method nurtures the natural lash fibre, producing a smooth, glossy lift that enhances lash definition without frizz or brittleness.
Why Cysteamine?
Cysteamine helps to:
- Rebuild disulphide bonds rather than break them harshly.
- Reduce odour and irritation for both client and technician.
- Deliver gentle, consistent lifts, ideal for fine or previously treated lashes.
Key Benefits for Technicians and Clients
- Healthier lashes – reduced damage risk with cysteamine formulation.
- Softer lift results – natural curl pattern, not over-processed.
- Low-odour formula – improved salon comfort.
- Faster processing times – ideal for busy treatment schedules.
- Versatile – suitable for sensitive or tinted lashes.

How to Perform a Korean Lash Lift with Phat Lash
Here’s how to achieve perfect, glossy results using the Phat Lash Korean Lash Lift system.
Step 1 – Lift & Rebuild Product: Dream Set Cysteamine Step 1 Apply Step 1 evenly along the mid-lengths to tips using a micro brush. This step gently softens the lash bonds, preparing them for reshaping. Leave on for the recommended processing time depending on lash strength (typically 6–10 minutes).
Step 2 – Set & Define
Product: Dream Set Cysteamine Step 2
Apply Step 2 to re-bond and define the new curl shape. This step locks in the lift and adds structural strength.
Step 3 – Nourish & Glow
Product: Nourish & Glow Step 3 Airless Pump
Finish by applying this ultra-light conditioning treatment. It smooths, hydrates and enhances shine, leaving lashes soft and healthy.
Optional – Customise with Korean Lash Lift Powder
Product: Korean Lash Lift Powder 5g
Mix into Step 1 or Step 2 for custom viscosity and lift control – ideal for advanced technicians seeking tailored results.
Pro Tip – Go Glueless
