Take the Patch FinderWhat are LifeWave patches and how do they work?
LifeWave patches are non-transdermal phototherapy patches. Your body naturally gives off heat, including infrared light. The patches are designed to reflect specific wavelengths of that light back into the skin, stimulating specific points to promote a general state of health. They contain no drugs or chemicals and nothing enters your body.
Which LifeWave patch should I start with?
Most people start with X39, LifeWave's flagship patch. If you have a specific goal (sleep, calm, comfort, appetite or skin), take our 30-second Patch Finder and we'll recommend the best fit.
Are LifeWave patches safe to use every day?
LifeWave patches are designed for daily use and are drug-free and non-transdermal. Follow the instructions for each patch: most are worn for up to 12 hours, and LifeWave advises against use during pregnancy or nursing, on children, or on damaged skin.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
Everyone responds differently. Some people notice changes within days, while others need several weeks of consistent use. LifeWave's 90-day money-back guarantee on first orders gives you time to try a patch properly.
