✨ Peptides respond to Light! ✨
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked together by chemical bonds. You can think of amino acids as individual Lego bricks. When you snap a few of them together, you get a peptide. When you snap many of them together into a long, complex chain, you get protein.
Peptides act as messengers that travel through the body to tell cells and organs what to do. They help regulate hormones, control appetite, and manage immune responses.
There are two types of peptides. Endogenous peptides are made naturally by your own body. Exogenous peptides are made outside the body, such as in food sources or synthetic ones created by pharmacy companies.
Infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) works by energizing cellular powerhouses (mitochondria) to boost overall cellular function and collagen synthesis. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as chemical messengers, giving specific instructions to cells—such as signaling for tissue repair or collagen production
Light boosts cellular receptivity, peptides (like copper peptides) to work much more effectively. Studies on combinations like GHK-Cu (copper peptides) and LED photoirradiation show significantly higher fibroblast proliferation and collagen production.
PHOTOTHERAPY
For centuries, phototherapy has been used to improve health. Phototherapy, sometimes called light therapy or photobiomodulation, works by using a mechanism to reflect or shine light into the body. With LifeWave, our patches reflect your energy back into your body.
How do our Phototherapy Patches Work? Your body emits heat, including heat in the infrared spectrum. Our patches are designed to trap this infrared energy when placed on the body, which causes them to reflect it back to stimulate specific points on the skin that can promote a general state of health and healthy activity unique to each LifeWave patch.
ACUPRESSURE
By capturing visible and infrared light, acupressure works like acupuncture, which is based on the concept that we all have a human energy field that flows through “meridians” in the body. The belief held in traditional Chinese medicine is it is necessary to avoid blockages of Qi energy in those meridians to live well. By applying slight pressure to various points corresponding to the Chinese tradition, the belief is that doing so will lead to a better state of wellness.
