One Shot vs Elleeplex Profusion vs Brik & Pearl
Three lifting systems, each built differently. The right one depends on the lashes in front of you, the services on your menu and how you like to work. Most busy studios end up carrying more than one.
Side by Side
| System | One Shot | Elleeplex Profusion | Brik & Pearl |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reducing chemistry | Thioglycolic acid (TGA) | Cysteamine HCl, no thioglycolate | Dual reduction: ammonium thioglycolate with cysteamine HCl |
| Character | Fast acting, for artists with advanced control | Slower, more flexible reduction that keeps lash bond integrity intact | The speed of a traditional lift with the control of a gentler chemistry |
| Steps | Two: Lift Lotion and Setting Lotion | Two: Lift Lotion and Setting Lotion, with ReGen in the system | Three: Bond Flex, Bond Lock and Lash Life Volume Filler, with ReGen alongside |
| Format | Single-use sachets | Single-use sachets | 10ml airless pump bottles, about 40 services each |
| Lashes or brows | Lashes only | Lashes and brows, with the same lotions | Lashes and brows |
| Korean, Freestyle, Glueless, Hybrid | Not the preferred choice; needs advanced control | The recommended system for all four | Works with every technique, as an option alongside Profusion |
| Monofusion™ | Not ideal | Well suited | Well suited |
How to Choose
Lifting lashes the traditional way, and want speed? One Shot is the fast, proven sachet system most artists learn on.
Offering brow lamination, or Korean, Freestyle and glueless lifting? Elleeplex Profusion is the recommended system: one set of lotions for lashes and brows, and the gentler chemistry those techniques depend on.
Working with mixed or difficult lash types, or prefer dosing from a bottle? Brik & Pearl adds a dual-reduction chemistry in airless pump bottles, and works with every technique.
