Korean lash lift: a rising trend in eyelash treatments

In recent years, lash lift treatments have become one of the most in-demand beauty services in salons and aesthetic centers, establishing themselves as a true trend.

This technique is highly appreciated for its ability to enhance the eyes by working with natural lashes—without the need for extensions or daily makeup—and has gradually evolved with innovative approaches, including the Kalentin Vegan Lash Lift. Alongside popular beauty trends, a new treatment originating from the Far East is rapidly gaining recognition: the Korean Lash Lift, an innovative and gentle method that respects the natural lash structure and is quickly conquering the European market as well. In this article, we will explore what the Korean Lash Lift is, how it works, and why an essential ingredient in modern formulas—cysteamine—is attracting so much interest.

What is the Korean or Asian lash lift?

Before diving into the treatment itself, it is useful to understand the characteristics of Asian lashes and eyelids. Asian eyes often feature monolids or hooded eyelids, with little or no crease on the upper lid. This anatomical trait significantly affects how lashes can be lifted, curled, and enhanced: without a specific technique, the results may appear less visible or harmonious. Compared to Western lashes, Asian lashes tend to be straighter and therefore require a tailored lifting and curling strategy to achieve a bright and natural look.

For these reasons, the Korean Lash Lift—also known as the Asian Lash Lift—was developed. It is a beauty treatment designed to enhance natural lashes without the use of extensions or daily cosmetic products such as makeup or strip lashes. The goal is to lift and curl the lashes, making them more visible and harmonious while improving shine and nourishment with the help of professional Kalentin products used during the procedure.

Thanks to this delicate technique, lashes appear more defined, orderly, and healthy. Up to this point, the process may resemble traditional lash lifts, but the key differences lie in the procedure, which we will explore below.

Distinctive features of the Korean lash lift

The Korean technique is characterized by several elements that make it unique compared to traditional lash lifts:

• Inspired by the “K-beauty no-makeup look”: the treatment enhances the eyes naturally, creating an elegant, soft curl without weighing them down. The result is a fresh, clean gaze that aligns with the Korean philosophy of emphasizing natural beauty.
• No adhesive is used: unlike traditional methods, the Korean Lash Lift does not require glue to fix the lashes onto the rod, making the process gentler.
• Cysteamine as the key active ingredient: instead of relying on adhesive, cysteamine—developed in Kalentin’s laboratories—reshapes the hair structure safely and effectively. The application requires precision and slightly longer processing times, ensuring uniform, natural-looking results.

The role of cysteamine in Kalentin's Korean lash lift

Cysteamine is a fundamental active ingredient in lash lift treatments. It is a gentle yet effective compound that works directly on the lash structure, reshaping it in a controlled way and ensuring long-lasting, natural results.

Main benefits of cysteamine in Korean Lash Lifts include:

A natural effect, lifting and curling lashes without adding heaviness.

Delicate action, respecting the integrity of the lash hair.

Enhanced shine and definition, giving lashes a healthy, well-groomed appearance.

For professionals wishing to try this innovative method, Kalentin offers single-dose sachets of CYSTEAMINE LIFTING LOTION, made in Italy, available individually or in packs of five. Their vegan and cruelty-free formula makes them suitable for both traditional and Korean lash lifts. 

These products allow professionals to perform the treatment with precision, delivering impeccable, natural, and long-lasting results.

Korean VS traditional lash lift: key differences

Now that we’ve examined the features of the Korean Lash Lift, let’s compare it with the traditional technique to highlight the main distinctions:

Adhesive use: in traditional lash lifts, glue is applied to secure lashes to the rod, while in the Korean method, this step is skipped. The curl and lift are instead achieved through cysteamine, applied along the full length of the lashes—including the tips—for a more refined outcome.

Processing time: traditional lash lifts typically require shorter processing times, depending on lash type, whereas Korean lifts involve longer processing periods to ensure even results.

Product flexibility: traditional methods may use cysteamine or thioglycolic acid, depending on the client’s needs, while the Korean method relies exclusively on cysteamine for a gentler approach.

It is important to emphasize that both methods are effective. Both Korean and traditional lash lifts provide visible, satisfying results, enhancing natural lashes with refined, defined effects.

The importance of professional and conscious choices

Whether you opt for the traditional or Korean technique, it is essential to rely on qualified professionals who use certified and professional-level products such as those developed by Kalentin. Only in this way can safe, effective and eyelash-friendly results be guaranteed. Each method has its own unique characteristics, which is why the competence of a professional is fundamental. In this way it is guaranteed that the treatment is personalized based on the type of eyelashes and the individual needs of each customer, guaranteeing harmonious, safe and long-lasting results.
