Studies and patents
Over more than two decades, LifeWave has invested in independent research and in intellectual protection of its technology. Here are the most relevant points.
BY THE NUMBERS
Granted patents
Globally, with several more pending.
Patents in regeneration
Directly tied to regeneration science and technology.
Years of development
Continuous research since the company was founded in 2004.
Biotech Breakthrough Award
"Stem Cell Innovation of the Year" category.
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH
Different labs and research centers have evaluated the patch technology. Below is a selection.
Biophotonic and energy-response analyses
Measurements of changes in subjects' biophotonic response before and after using the patches, using imaging and biophysical field analysis techniques. They observed consistent variations in energy markers.
Biophysical response measurements
Studies on physiological and subjective variables in patch users, with protocols applied by independent researchers, focused on perceived wellbeing and markers of energetic balance.
Hypoallergenicity and skin compatibility
Testing by independent dermatological certification labs to evaluate the safety of the adhesive and the patch material on sensitive skin. The patches use medical-grade hypoallergenic 3M acrylic adhesive.
Pre/post evaluation of the copper peptide
Pilot studies analyzing GHK-Cu levels in users before and after continued use of the X39 patch, aiming to document the peptide increase associated with exposure to specific wavelengths.
Changes in expression of repair-related genes
Observations on the expression of thousands of genes linked to tissue repair and cellular response in subjects after short-term use of the patch, documented in company technical reports.
Observations in athletes and active people
Reports on post-training recovery and effort tolerance in athletes who use the patches, including healing times for micro-injuries and return to activity.
