Phototherapy: A Smarter Way to Recover

Phototherapy: The Future of Recovery & Performance

At Cedar Creek Lake, active living is part of our lifestyle—whether it's paddleboarding at sunrise, competing on the pickleball court, or enjoying a long hike through nature. But staying active means prioritizing recovery, mobility, and long-term performance.

LifeWave’s phototherapy technology is changing the way people recover, manage discomfort, and optimize their energy levels—all through a wearable, non-invasive, drug-free approach.

What is Phototherapy?

Your body is designed to respond to light—from the sun regulating your circadian rhythm to red light therapy supporting tissue healing. Phototherapy works in a similar way, using specific wavelengths of light to trigger biochemical reactions at the cellular level.

LifeWave’s phototherapy patches are wearable, non-invasive, and drug-free. They work by reflecting infrared light from your own body to stimulate key acupuncture points, much like traditional acupuncture—but without needles. This activates specific cellular pathways to support pain relief, tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and energy production.

How Phototherapy Works at the Cellular Level

Phototherapy interacts with G-protein coupled receptors in your cells. When placed on the skin, the patches:

  • Absorb and reflect body heat as specific wavelengths of light

  • Trigger a biochemical response in targeted cells

  • Activate key peptides and proteins that regulate pain, inflammation, and cellular regeneration.

This is the same principle used in low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and infrared sauna therapy, except LifeWave patches work without requiring external light sources.

Targeted Solutions for Active Lifestyles

  • Best for: Injury recovery, tendon & ligament health, long-term joint mobility.


    How it works:

    • X39 is designed to support cellular repair by activating GHK-Cu, a peptide linked to wound healing, tissue regeneration, and anti-aging.

    • Supports joint resilience and muscle recovery, helping active adults maintain long-term mobility and avoid injury setbacks.

    • Ideal for those recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic joint issues

  • Best for: Chronic inflammation, stress recovery, and muscle repair.

    How it works:

    • Aeon patches are designed to support the body's ability to manage cortisol levels, reducing stress-related inflammation.

    • Chronic inflammation slows recovery, damages soft tissue, and leads to persistent stiffness—Aeon helps counteract this effect.

    • Ideal for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone looking to improve mobility and reduce muscle tightness.

  • Best for: Sore knees, muscle tension, post-game stiffness.


    How it works:

    • IceWave is designed to balance the body's energy flow using principles similar to acupuncture.

    • Supports localized pain relief by stimulating bioelectrical pathways—helping ease muscle fatigue, knee pain, and joint discomfort.

    • Used by athletes and active adults to maintain fluid mobility without relying on over-the-counter pain relief.

  • Best for: Restful sleep, muscle repair, and mental clarity.


    How it works:

    • Sleep is one of the most critical factors in muscle recovery, hormone regulation, and brain function.

    • Silent Nights is designed to support melatonin production naturally, without supplements or medication.

    • Used by athletes, executives, and active adults who want restorative sleep for better performance.

  • Best for: Pickleball players, boaters, hikers, golfers, and endurance athletes.


    How it works:

    • Energy Enhancer is designed to increase oxygenation in the blood, supporting natural energy production.

    • Helps sustain higher endurance and stamina without caffeine or stimulants.

    • Used by competitive athletes and active adults to support longer play, fewer energy crashes, and better physical output.

Patch Placement Guide: Maximizing Your Recovery

Phototherapy patches work best when placed on specific acupuncture points—similar to how acupuncture and reflexology stimulate energy flow. Proper patch placement can help support:

✅ Knee & joint comfort – Ideal for pickleball players, runners, and hikers.
✅ Lower back relief – Perfect for those with long commutes or desk jobs.
✅ Shoulder & neck recovery – Great for tennis players, kayakers, and golfers.
✅ Overall energy & balance – General placements to promote full-body circulation.
