Pain Relief Through the Healing Properties of Light
Chronic pain, alone, affects 1.5 billion people around the world, leading to billions of dollars in health care costs and lost work productivity
each year.1 IceWave is a safe, powerful and affordable solution for all levels of pain.
Using the healing properties of light, IceWave is designed to provide fast relief at the source of discomfort. If you have knee pain, for
instance, you can place the patches around that area for quick relief. If you have pain throughout your body, there are different placement
options that produce equally effective results (see the Usage Tab for easy instructions).
This non-drug, non-addictive approach sets IceWave apart from all other pain relief products on the market. Particularly in contrast to
mainstream pharmaceutical painkillers, which are known to have harmful side effects, including widespread opioid addiction plaguing
many communities in the U.S. today.
But the problem isn’t just in America. New research on prescription drug use in Denmark, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the United
Kingdom estimates the lifetime rate of opioid use at nearly 14 percent. This is compared to just 5 percent in the previous year.2

What Is Phototherapy?
The science of phototherapy, which has been around for about 100 years, uses light to improve the health of the body. And modern forms
of phototherapy such as Low Level Laser Therapy, which helps reduce wrinkles and treat other more serious skin conditions, are very well
understood scientifically.
But this idea is nothing new. As far back as two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks had a center for studying the effects of different
colored lights on the body. Even the ancient Egyptians, who promoted health by focusing sunlight through colored glass on certain areas
of the body, understood this concept.
How Our Phototherapy Patches Work
Your body emits heat in the form of infrared light. Our patches are designed to trap this infrared light when placed on the body, which
causes them to reflect particular wavelengths of light. (see Usage Tab for placement instructions). This process stimulates specific points
on the skin that signal the body to produce health benefits unique to each LifeWave patch.
What Makes one LifeWave Patch Different than Another?
Each patch is exclusively designed to reflect particular wavelengths of light that stimulate specific points on the skin. This enables each
patch to provide unique health benefits (e.g. pain relief, increased energy, etc.). No drugs or chemicals enter your body.
How Does This Relate to Pain?
Pain is caused by a change in tissue conductivity. By reflecting particular wavelengths of light, IceWave patches improve tissue
conductivity. This means they use the body’s natural energy flow (or bioelectricity) to reduce pain. IceWave patches have also been shown
to reduce inflammation using this same method.
