You can wear them for 24 hours comfortably. Another negative consequence of using tape or glue for the eyelids is that the skin on the eyelids stretches. The skin on the eyelids stretches when the tape is applied to create a double eyelid fold because the tape will rub against the skin. Pressing the adhesive tape and rubbing it against the skin, since a person opens the eye thousands of times a day, stretches the skin.
The glue applied to the place where the skin rubs against the skin will create a similar stretching effect. Our skin is elastic, where the elastin collagen stretches according to tension. In addition, these external mechanisms will stimulate cells to induce greater collagen formation so that the skin stretches. An analogy to consider is if you look at the progressively long necklaces worn by African tribal women to stretch their necks.
The entire neck will stretch significantly to adapt to the tension being applied. I started using adhesive tape when I developed a small crease in one eye so I could even them out. When I first started, I would tape at night, but I found that my double eyelid would last longer if I used adhesive tape while I was awake. I now record every 2 or 3 days and only for as long as it takes me to get ready and drive to work.
They may disappear, but rarely (it happens if I wake up particularly swollen) and have lasted more than two weeks, but I'm still recording because the folds are larger initially after recording them. Eyelid thickening occurs when adhesive tape or eyelid glue is used, causing the edges of the skin to be irritated by friction. Therefore, it's wise to simply not use them at all or to undergo double eyelid surgery by a plastic surgeon who specializes in double eyelid surgery. People with constant eyelid swelling that is poorly controlled also loosen the skin on their eyelids over time.
Asian eyelid tapes have existed for a long time and became very popular in China and Korea to give users with monolids a more westernized eyelid. Anyone can use eyelid tape, but it works best if the eyelids don't yet have a well-defined crease. Eyelid tape is a popular beauty item that enhances the eyes by defining a crease or crease in the eyelids and making the eyes appear wider. I applied this eyelid tape with my fingers, as instructed, and used the tool to press it against my eyelid.
Manipulating the eyelids with the tape is likely to cause a slight stretching of the eyelids.
