Patch Tips

2-min video

VIDEO:  This 2-min video demonstrates the patch technology so well. 


The Patches are Non-Transdermal

The patches go to work immediately... no supplements or drugs are involved.


12 Hours On & 12 Hours Off

Apply the patch to clean, dry skin. Wear for 12 hours. Discard. Wait 12 hours. Apply a fresh patch.


Stay Hydrated

Sip slowly on water all day long. Ask your health practitioner or a reliable source for the amount of water for your weight. Another tip is to inspect the color of your urine — a pale straw or light-yellow color indicates proper hydration, whereas dark yellow or amber-colored urine suggests dehydration.

Can I Get the Patches Wet? 

Yes! They are impermeable to moisture.


Body Heat

Infrared heat from your body activates the patches... up to 3 or 4" away from your body.  Our bodies are always producing heat which moves outward as invisible infrared light. This heat doesn’t stop right at our skin—it extends a couple of inches into the air around us. Infrared cameras can detect this invisible light and turn it into an image so they can “see” people by the warmth their bodies give off, even in the dark. 


Another Option for Wearing the Patches

If you don't want to (or can't) adhere patches to your skin, they can be put on the inside or outside of your clothing... or even in a pocket. It doesn't matter which side of the patch faces your body.


Warnings

  • Remove the patch if you feel discomfort. Wait an hour or two and try again. However, don't reapply this patch to your skin. Instead, see the section 'Another Option' above.
  • If you experience irritation after wearing the patch (which seldom happens btw), it's usually because you're applying the patch to the same location every day and a bit of glue from the previous patch may still be on your skin. This is why we say apply to CLEAN & DRY skin.

The Sun Story

LifeWave phototherapy patches offer a new approach to improving the way your body fosters the flow of energy in your body... by gently stimulating the skin with light. 


It's been known for thousands of years that specific frequencies of light can cause specific changes within the body. When we go out in the sun, a specific frequency of light causes our body to make its own Vitamin D. Another specific frequency of light (UV) will cause our body to make melanin, the chemical that gives us a suntan.  


LifeWave's patented technology is based on this same scientific principle. Instead of an active light source such as a laser or lamp, LifeWave utilizes a patch that reflects specific wavelengths of light to the skin. 


The nerves on the skin are stimulated by these specific wavelengths of light, and this triggers a chemical reaction in the body. 

How the Patches Are Made

The LifeWave patches are a revolutionary discovery proven to be effective by numerous open-label and double-blind studies completed since 2002.


  • LifeWave uses organic materials confined to patches placed on the skin that are capable of absorbing infrared light (body heat) and retransmitting specific wavelengths back into the body (photobiomodulation).
  • A layer of medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive is applied to one side of the patches, so that the patches may be applied to the surface of the skin.
  • The organic materials are a solution composed of stereoisomers of L-amino acids and D-sugars capable of self-assembly into nano-sized crystals. 
  • The impregnated fabric is sandwiched and sealed between two films of high-density medical-grade plastic that is impermeable to moisture and other environmental factors.

BRAND PILLARS

  • Live Long: We are committed to redefining the future of human potential
  • Live Well: We are passionate about the wellness connection of mind, body, and spirit


David’s experience in business and product development spans over 30 years and includes a formal education in Management Information Systems and Biology at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. 


David then went on to pursue several entrepreneurial endeavors and, as a result, owned successful companies involved in manufacturing and product development. One of these companies, Advanced Applications Group, is a research and development center that specialized in energy-production technologies for both military and commercial applications. During his time with AAG, David developed new methods for producing hydrogen and oxygen, designed and prototyped multi-fueled, bladeless-turbine power generation systems, and constructed metal-combustion rocket engines. 


As a result of his innovations, David was presented with an honorary doctorate by Dr. Alexander Marinaccio of the International Hall of Fame of Inventors. 


In addition, as a result of work performed in the design of emergency oxygen systems for General Dynamics and the U.S. Navy, David was invited to participate in the Navy’s next generation mini-sub program.


The LifeWave Technology was born out of three years of intense research by David into the concept of being able to naturally increase energy and stamina through elevation of fat burning, utilizing wireless communication to the human body via phototherapy.


Globally, David is the holder of over 100 patents, with many more being written. More than seventy of those issued patents are in the field of regenerative science and technology. One of his inventions, the Double Helix Conductor, produces a novel blend of electromagnetic and non-electromagnetic fields to improve the speed of wound healing that rivals that of stem-cell injections.
