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
Double-Blind Testing of the LifeWave X39 Patch to Determine GHK-Cu Production Levels: This study observed a significant increase in GHK-Cu concentration in the blood after participants wore the X39 patch for one week. GHK-Cu is associated with tissue repair and regeneration.
LifeWave X39 Pilot Demonstrates Light-Triggered Changes: This pilot study documented significant improvements in metabolic parameters, blood pressure, memory, sleep quality, and other factors after participants used the X39 patch for one week.

A double-blind randomized control study published in the International Journal of Research Studies in Medical and Health Sciences revealed a significant increase in the production of 8 amino acids, which improved short-term memory, sleep, and vitality.

A double-blind test published in the Journal of Internal Medicine Research showed a significant increase in copper-peptide concentrations in the blood of subjects who had worn X39 patches for 1 week.

Non-Invasive Scanning and Subtle Energy Testing Lab Effect of LifeWave X39 Patches on Brain as Seen with P3 Brain Mapping: Preliminary Results
All participants showed dramatic changes in their scalp topographic maps reporting the amplitude of the P300 recording for each channel and also in their coherence maps.
Metabolic Implications of the LifeWave X39 Patch
The data show improvement in blood pressure, 17 statistically significant amino acid changes over the 7 days, significant improvement in anti-inflammatory response, improvement in sleep levels, reduction in blood pressure, improvement in short-term memory, improvement in reported feelings of vitality and consistency in reporting across the study suggest that further research with a larger sample size be done.
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:

Hi Luc,
This is a fascinating article on light wave technology helping the body to stimulate the body’s own ability to produce copper. Which i did not know our bodies produced! Including helping with tissue repair and regeneration. For it to be accepted by the Olympic committee also says speaks volumes for them to let athletes use it.
Thanks for your nice comment, Rich! And yes, human GHK-Cu copper peptide is powerful. The only way to elevate it in the body is either through very expensive injections at a doctor’s office or through phototherapy. So the X39 patches offer a great solution to this.
And as for the Olympic athletes, here’s a short video that shows a number of them wearing the patches. The X39 is usually worn at the back of the neck or under the navel, and I’m pretty sure these sportsmen wear them too, but what you’ll be able to see in the pictures is that they are wearing 2 patches on more visible areas of the body. These are another type of patches by LifeWave, called the ‘Energy Enhancer’. But the X39 is the flagship patch, which is worn long-term, and after about 3 to 6 months, people usually notice the benefits.

Been using the x39, x49 plus some of the others as well, ice wave and aeon, they are truly amazing, work so well and I’ve given these to other people with nerve pain and it soothes them completely (ice wave) I highly recommend them.
WOW, when I saw this I thought so much information to get through, but I’m glad I followed it through because it sounds amazing and I have copied your link and sent it to a friend whose grandchild has autism and she is very grateful for the information.
I work in a school where there are many children who are on the autistic spectrum or have autism and if only they knew about this!
Thanks you so much for sharing, I will pass this on where ever I can.
Julia.
Dear Julia, thank you for such a beautiful reply, it moved me very much. It’s heartwarming to hear that you feel inspired to share this information that has a huge potential to help others. Of course we cannot make any medical claims and say that tis technology cures specific conditions or diseases, but from so many personal testimonials, we know that the patches can potentially alleviate certain symptoms.
As your have probably noticed, I have included two testimonials by mothers with autistic children who reported improvement of their symptoms which is very encouraging; also, these two examples are not the only ones, I have come across quite a few more in social media chats and various groups. The patches are definitely worth a try, I cannot thank enough for the day I have discovered them. Thanks again for your lovely words and I hope that this may benefits many people you share the information with – especially those children at the school where you work. I am more than happy to offer you more advice. Have a lovely day!
