Phototherapy is an exciting and revolutionary advancement in longevity science, regenerative wellness and skincare, that honours the innate healing intelligence of the body.
What is phototherapy?
Rooted in the concept of photobiomodulation, the technology of phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to signal the body to activate cellular repair, increase energy flow, and awaken natural healing pathways, from within.
Similar to the way sunlight signals our body to produce Vitamin D, peer-reviewed research shows that phototherapy can support mitochondrial function, tissue repair, collagen production, and even stem cell re-activation without introducing any substances into the body. It is a gentle, non-invasive way to help the body do what it is designed to do: restore, regenerate, and rebalance from the inside out.
What do phototherapy treatments look like?
To receive the benefits of phototherapy, wearable phototherapy patches are placed on the skin. These are essentially light activated stickers that use acupressure and the body’s own infrared light to naturally increase vitality; enhancing the body’s flow of energy and cellular repair. Each patch reflects back a very specific wavelength of light that signals the body to activate and produce a particular amino acid and endogenous peptide that awakens natural regenerative pathways of repair and renewal. Not only rejuvenating the skin, balancing energy systems, and restoring inner radiance, but supporting our physical, mental, emotional, and even energetic bodies.
A company called Lifewave is leading the charge in the world of regenerative wellness and phototherapy. They have a 20 year track record of phototherapy studies, offering eleven patches with distinct benefits, and millions of testimonials of people around the globe, who speak to the benefits. I have now become one of them! Each of these phototherapy patches are designed to support pain management, energy, sleep, immune system, brain health, fitness, inflammation and even bone density.
How phototherapy helped me balance my hormones and sleep
As I entered my 40’s I noticed that I began to struggle more with hormonal imbalances, painful cycles, sleepless nights, night sweats and even more migraines. After trying a multitude of natural approaches, eventually, I came across phototherapy patches. I’ve been using the patches daily for over 9 months. I’m sleeping better than ever, my hormones have regulated, and my body feels more supported. And, my skin looks better than ever. Overall, I feel more balanced, and what I didn’t expect – more energized and clear!
On the general wellness/skin/beauty side, one of the patches I use signals the body to produce GHK-Cu: the peptide for cellular radiance, which is designed for regenerative and age-reversing properties. Statistically, these patches enhance collagen by up to 300%, increase hair growth and thickness, boost skin and nail strength, and improve the skin’s elasticity and luminosity. GHK-Cu is known to increase healthy stem cell activity, reduce inflammation, increase energy, mental clarity, and even improve mood and sleep quality. This is my go-to daily patch that has been foundational to my transformation.
The second patch I absolutely love is called the “happy patch”. It supports the body’s stress response by balancing emotions, harmonizing mood and bringing a sense of relaxation. It also helps with the reduction of inflammation and support of liver, adrenals, and brain health.
The third patch that so many women love supports both beauty and sleep together by naturally increasing Epithalamin and Melatonin. This peptide, Epithalamin, works through the pineal gland to repair chromosomes, lengthen telomeres, and slow the cellular aging process. Its rejuvenating influence helps brighten the complexion, even skin tone, and diminish fine lines, restoring the skin’s natural glow and coherence.
Phototherapy patches work on the micro and macro systems of the body. Like anything supplemental, they aren’t the only thing you should be doing to support your health. Movement, sleep, eating well, proper hydration, and rest are always the foundation for great health.
However, I’ve become a huge fan of this type of phototherapy, because I’ve noticed a big boost in my own health and skin, and I believe in light technology and the vast wisdom it offers our bio-electric body. Phototherapy has been practised for centuries, and many studies show that light works in harmony with our body’s innate intelligence to restore, renew, and regenerate. My personal experience and turnaround this past year has been so incredible that I’ve become an ambassador for phototherapy patches and I am continually in awe of how my family, friends, and clients have felt and seen the benefits in their life too.
