Phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes. For decades, it has been used in medicine – for example, blue light therapy for newborn babies with jaundice – as well as in devices such as infrared saunas to support wellbeing.

Today, innovators are discovering new ways to apply this non-invasive approach to support energy, recovery, and overall vitality.

LifeWave has developed a wearable form of phototherapy that’s helping thousands of people not only support their health, but also share this technology with others – and for some, turn that interest into an additional stream of income.

The short video below explains how phototherapy – and the X39 patches – work to support natural repair and regeneration at the cellular level.

As illustrated in the video, X39 patches work on the principle of phototherapy by reflecting your body’s own infrared light to activate a peptide called GHK-Cu, which supports tissue repair and regeneration. This technology has been shown to deliver measurable effects and is backed by verified clinical results.

A DOCTOR’S EXPLANATION 

In this video, Dr. Jon Harmon, a respected chiropractor and brain health expert, explains the science and mechanisms behind the X39 phototherapy patch.

A SCEPTICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST’S VIEW

X39 is made from organic crystals that reflect your own light back to the body, creating subtle cellular changes through a process called photobiomodulation. Dr. Newman, a neuropsychologist, explains how photobiomodulation can support healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate neuron regeneration. Initially skeptical about the X39 patch, he shares his personal positive experience using it.

Dr. Newman mentions a study of a 77-year-old woman’s brain and the state of coherence it reached after wearing the X39 patch for 6 weeks:

Scientific Studies on LifeWave Patches

The LifeWave X39 patch is known for stimulating the body’s natural production of the copper peptide GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-copper(2+)). Clinical research has shown a notable increase in GHK-Cu levels in the bloodstream of individuals using the X39 patch.

This patch works by reflecting infrared light back into the body, which in turn activates cellular pathways and supports the natural production of GHK-Cu.

What does GHK-Cu do?

GHK-Cu plays a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. It has been shown to stimulate blood vessel and nerve growth, boost collagen and elastin production, and support glycosaminoglycan synthesis. It also enhances the function of dermal fibroblasts—cells crucial for skin health and healing.

Its regenerative effects have been observed in skin, connective tissue, bone, liver, lungs, and even the stomach lining. Users often report visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and hydration within the first few weeks. Between 6 to 12 weeks, many experience enhanced skin elasticity, fewer fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.

For the skeptics

While some may approach phototherapy with doubt, it’s worth noting that many healthcare professionals—including medical doctors, physiotherapists, and chiropractors—incorporate LifeWave patches into their practice. Furthermore, LifeWave’s technology is approved for use by professional athletes and has been accepted by organizations such as the Olympic Committee, reinforcing its safety and credibility.

CLINICAL STUDIES

LifeWave’s technology has over 90 clinical studies conducted at world-class universities and research institutions. Below, you will find links to a selection of clinical studies about the LifeWave patches:

Effects on Cortisol, Circulation, and Mood

A 2015 pilot study examined the impact of LifeWave Energy Enhancer (LEE) patches on salivary cortisol levels, peripheral circulation, and psychological measures in healthy adults. The double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that LEE patches may influence cortisol production and microvascular perfusion, suggesting potential stress-related benefits.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Autonomic Function

Another study evaluated the effect of LifeWave energy patches on heart rate variability (HRV) signals in healthy volunteers. The findings indicated that these patches might modulate autonomic nervous system activity, as evidenced by changes in HRV parameters during rest and exercise conditions.

Wound Healing Applications

A 2024 case report explored the use of the LifeWave X39® phototherapy patch to facilitate wound healing following pacemaker extraction. The application of the patch was associated with a 40%-50% acceleration in wound closure, suggesting its potential as a non-pharmacological adjunct in postoperative care.

Impact on Athletic Performance

A 2011 study investigated the effects of LifeWave energy patches on substrate utilization in collegiate cross-country runners. The results showed no significant performance enhancements, although there was a notable increase in respiratory exchange ratio (RER) during the initial stage of exercise, indicating altered substrate metabolism

Electrical Stimulation for Wound Management

A study conducted between 2008 and 2010 assessed the use of bioelectrical signal therapy (BST) devices, including those from LifeWave, for difficult-to-heal wounds. The treatment resulted in an 87% wound closure rate over an average of 97 days, highlighting the potential of BST in chronic wound management

Photobiomodulation and the X39 Patch

The X39 patch is made from organic crystals that reflect back your own light to make changes in your body. This process is called photobiomodulation. Light works fast to support the natural flow of energy in your body, restoring optimal health in a non-transdermal, non-invasive and safe way.

Dr. Newman, a neuropsychologist, highlights the benefits of photobiomodulation – using light to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and stimulate neuron regeneration. He shares personal success with the X39 patch that alleviated his chronic back pain and repaired tissue by boosting ATP, CCO, and mitochondrial function.

Dr. Newman mentions a study of a 77-year-old woman’s brain and the state of coherence it reached after wearing the X39 patch for 6 weeks:
