LifeWave patches are non-transdermal adhesive patches that utilize phototherapy to stimulate specific points on the skin, promoting various health benefits without the use of drugs or chemicals.

The patches reflect specific wavelengths of light emitted by the body, stimulating points on the skin to promote a general state of health and wellness unique to each LifeWave patch.

Benefits vary by product but may include increased energy, improved sleep quality, reduced stress, enhanced skin appearance, and support for overall health and vitality.
