🎯 Origin story

Why Optifold exists

I used to have uneven eyelids too.

Even when I was a child model, I noticed no one talked about it, but I was always comparing my monolid side to kids with clean, symmetrical double eyelids.

Eventually, I realized the solution shouldn’t be surgery.

It should be a system that teaches the skin how to crease properly.

If one side already can, the other side can learn.

🔧 What it is

Optifold is a guided training method, not just a product

Optifold is a guided training method, not just a product.

Most clients work with us over 4–6 months, during which we ship fresh Optifold tapes and check in on your results until your eyelids become symmetric and stable.

Program visual
Quick glossary so this reads fast
  • Good eye: the eyelid that already forms a stable crease naturally.
  • Difficult eye: the eyelid with a monolid, or a shallow, broken, or multi-crease pattern.
  • Training: repeat correct mechanics until the crease becomes repeatable, then stable, then independent.
The “real difference” vs regular eyelid tape or glue

Most eyelid products sit on the skin and fake a crease. Optifold is mechanical. It trains your skin using tension behavior, anchored fold behavior, and guided tape logic.

Our f-tape and n-tape combo engages the exact zone where a real crease forms. That’s why results can hold even after tape is removed.

📸 First week

Why the first week matters

The first week is critical.

We ask you to send short video clips of how you're applying and removing the tape.

Most people unknowingly apply it just 1–2 mm off, which weakens stimulation and delays results.

  • ✅ We review your tape placement
  • ✅ Spot early crease formation
  • ✅ Prevent weeks of wasted effort
Applying tape advice from Optifold Beauty Technician
What “1–2 mm off” usually looks like in real life

It often looks fine in a mirror, but the crease fails under normal blinking, facial movement, or morning puffiness. You get a “today-only crease,” not a trained crease.

🏳️🌈 Fit check

Who the guarantee applies to

This service is specifically for East Asian eyelid types where:

  • One eye has a stable, deep double eyelid
  • The other eye has a monolid, or a shallow, broken, or faint multi-crease

These cases are ideal because both eyelids often share similar muscle response and fat distribution. One side is already doing the right thing, we guide the other to match.

This isn’t for cosmetic enhancement on both sides.

It’s for balance, symmetry, and restoring natural structure.

Who this is for visual
How we check if you’re a good fit (video guides)

Follow this guide exactly when recording your eyelid profile video:

Once training begins, we’ll also need short clips of your tape application and removal so we can check placement accuracy and guide your first adjustments.

Here’s how to record and send your tape videos correctly:

🔒 Permanence

Is it permanent?

Yes, but only when the skin is capable of forming a natural crease in the first place.

That’s why our guarantee is limited to cases where:

  • One eye already has a real double eyelid
  • The other has a monolid or broken crease

With Optifold, we stimulate the correct skin tension zone until the crease becomes so stable, you no longer need tape.

4 months later result
What results to expect month by month
  • Month 1, crease stays visible for several hours or even all day
  • Month 2, crease holds for multiple days in a row without tape
  • Month 3, crease remains stable for several weeks at a time
  • Months 4–6, many clients no longer need tape for months in a row

This isn’t passive. You need to know when to do eyelid crease exercises and how to do them properly for your eyelid profile. This is how the crease becomes permanent.

Not because tape is magical, because your technique and consistency are.


🧴 Skin behavior

Does this cause sagging?

No, but only if you use the correct tape size and apply it properly.

Many clients come to us because their skin started sagging after using regular cosmetic eyelid tape or glue.

Regular tape vs Optifold gif
Why sagging happens with cosmetic eyelid tape

Those products are often too thin, too narrow, and apply sharp pinching force to the wrong part of the upper eyelid. Over time, this pulls skin in uneven directions and encourages false folds or wrinkling.

Optifold was designed to prevent that.

Our tapes are cut to match eyelid profiles, and when applied correctly, they support the skin, not strain it.

  • ✅ Choose the right tape size
  • ✅ Target the correct skin tension zone
  • ✅ Stay consistent and you’ll build structure, not collapse it

🏅 Credibility

Trusted, patented, and backed by science

Optifold was developed at the University of Toronto, won a HealthEDGE Challenge for Medical Devices award, and is now a patented treatment method.

📊 Scientific notes

A natural double eyelid forms when the levator aponeurosis connects to the upper eyelid skin. This connection creates a mechanical fold when the eye opens. Monolids and broken creases lack this anchoring.

Optifold simulates this behavior non-invasively.

Why regular eyelid tape and glue usually cannot train a stable crease
  • – Apply pinch-style tension in the wrong direction
  • – Are shaped without consideration for skin behavior mechanics
  • – Don’t teach you anything about placement or feedback

They’re cosmetic band-aids. Optifold is a training method with feedback loops.

🪄 Method detail

Posture is part of the method

Another key difference is how tape is applied. Our clients follow a specific posture to make sure tension is engaged consistently.

Posture checklist
  • – Chin slightly raised
  • – Eyes looking downward
  • – Eyebrows gently lifted (not scrunched)
  • – Magnified mirror below eye level
  • – Soft light angled toward the upper eyelid

This creates the same mechanical conditions every night so your skin learns the crease location over time. If posture changes, crease location can drift.

❓ Industry gap

Why don’t most doctors know about this?

Because traditional medicine focuses on surgical correction, not mechanical skin training. Plastic surgeons are trained to cut and stitch, not to analyze skin tension behavior daily.

This method was developed by direct testing and refined by working with real eyelids one-on-one for over a decade. Most doctors only see before and after photos. We study the time in between.

Wren’s overnight transformation + Trustpilot review

From this, to this.

Wren used Optifold as part of her nighttime routine and saw visible change by the next morning. Her crease was deep, defined, and stayed all day. This is what can happen when the tape hits the right tension zone.

Beauty Lab note: why an overnight jump can happen

Overnight improvements are most common when placement finally hits the correct tension zone on the difficult eye. The crease can look instantly cleaner because the skin is folding along a more mechanically stable path. The job after that is making it repeatable, then stable, then independent.


Zara’s 4-part progress series + Trustpilot review

From skeptic to confident. Zara used Optifold only at night and documented her real transformation.

Client-submitted video. No paid promotion. No filters. No sponsorship.

Episode 1: Trying Optifold for the first time

“I wasn’t sure if this would work, especially since I’ve tried regular eyelid tape and glue before. But I wanted to document the process honestly. This is Day 1 of using Optifold at night on my monolid side only.”

Episode 2: Wearing it at night only

“Two weeks in, and I’ve only been wearing Optifold while I sleep. I wake up with both eyes looking even now. My crease actually holds throughout the morning!”

Episode 3: 3-day crease streak without tape

“Okay, this is crazy. I haven’t worn tape in 3 days and the crease is still here. The monolid side finally caught up to my double eyelid side.”

Episode 4: Final thoughts

“If you’re still thinking about it, just start. My results didn’t happen overnight, but they did happen. Consistency is everything.”

🧑💼 Who invented it?

Not a plastic surgeon. Not a skincare influencer.

Just someone who needed a solution that didn’t exist.

Ray business photo

Hi, I'm Ray. I was a child model with uneven eyelids. I used to hold up the camera high, tilt my head, and try to make both eyes look symmetrical, because I didn’t want people noticing that one of them just wouldn’t fold.

Years later, I started studying eyelid structure, not just medically, but mechanically. How skin folds, where tension zones run, and how symmetry can be trained.

I invented Optifold because I knew one thing. If my good eye could crease every morning, the other one could too. I just had to teach it how.

Optifold isn’t based on trend. It’s based on necessity. If you’ve ever felt that same frustration, you’re exactly who I built this for.

For anyone suffering from uneven eyelids, this is the best way to even them out without surgery. After about three months of night-only wear, my eyes are perfectly even all day. The tape adhesion is strong and easy to experiment with. Love this brand!

I have typical Asian uneven eyelids and was looking into surgery, but I love my eyes as they are. I discovered Optifold and decided to try it. It was tricky at first, but once I got used to the technique, it became easier. After six months my crease is strong during the day. It’s worth all the hard work and it looks so natural.

This product works great! It didn’t take long at all to have day-long results (a month or two). After about a year the crease is permanent and I don’t have to wear the tapes anymore. They give you a lot of support too, making sure you are using it properly and checking in for updates. Honestly a great product, would definitely recommend!
