Understanding Phototherapy and LifeWave Patches
Phototherapy is a broad term for the use of light. Different technologies use light in different ways, so the term alone does not establish what a particular product does.
LifeWave describes its wellness patches as using a proprietary form of phototherapy. When considering these products, it is important to distinguish LifeWave’s description of its patch technology from medical light treatments. The uses and benefits of other phototherapy technologies should not be attributed to LifeWave patches.
How LifeWave Describes Its Technology
According to LifeWave, the body emits infrared energy as part of its natural heat radiation. The company describes its patches as capturing this energy and reflecting it back to stimulate specific points on the skin, with the aim of supporting general wellness and healthy activity.
This is the company’s explanation of its wellness technology. It should not be interpreted as a claim that the patches treat medical conditions.
What Makes the Patches Different?
LifeWave patches are non-transdermal: they are not designed to deliver substances into the body through the skin. LifeWave describes the different patches as being designed to reflect particular wavelengths of energy towards specific points on the skin.
The products have different intended uses. Before choosing a patch, review its current official description and application instructions rather than assuming that all LifeWave patches serve the same purpose.
Using Product Information Responsibly
For information about a particular LifeWave product, consult its current official description, directions and precautions. Follow the instructions supplied with the product, including any restrictions on its use.
LifeWave patches are wellness products and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. If you have questions about a medical condition or treatment, consult an appropriate healthcare professional. Information about wellness products does not replace individual medical advice.
