FAQs
What does it mean to be a Brand Partner?
Being a brand partner means you’re someone who uses, shares, and gets paid to recommend products you believe in.
You’re not an employee. You’re an independent business owner building your own income stream by helping others discover the products.
As a Brand Partner, do I have to sell?
No, as long as you pay your $25 annual fee, you can keep your Brand Partner pricing.
However, if you wish to earn commissions by selling to customers, you do have to have a certain amount of monthly personal purchases.
What is a Preferred Customer (PC)?
A preferred customer gets a discount by being on a required monthly auto ship. This shipment can be rescheduled or skipped if needed.
A PC gets a random set of 10 patches for every 3 months in a row that they get an auto shipment.
There is no annual fee to be a Preferred Customer.
What is a Preferred Plus Customer (PC+)?
A Preferred Plus Customer pays an annual $25 fee. They get a discount by being on a monthly auto ship. This shipment can be rescheduled or skipped if needed.
Every month they receive an auto ship, a PC+ customer gets a random set of 10 patches.
PC+ customers also have the ability to refer new customers using a link. However, they do not get paid cash for these referrals. For every 3 referrals, they get a free sleeve of patches.

FAQs
Patch Usage
What are LifeWave patches?
LifeWave patches are non-transdermal wellness patches that use light (phototherapy) to stimulate specific points on the body.
No drugs
No chemicals entering the body
Designed to support your body’s natural processes
How do I use the patches?
⏱ Wear for up to 12 hours ON / 12 hours OFF (although there are a few exceptions for certain patches)
💧 Hydrate well (this is critical for results)
🔁 Rotate placement every few days
👂 Listen to your body (adjust as needed)
⚖️ Results vary person to person
What if I don't feel anything?
Not everyone feels immediate results. Stay consistent, hydrate, and adjust placement.
Can I wear multiple patches?
Yes, however, it may be best to start with 1 patch, the X39 or Aeon. Slow is often better to avoid overwhelming your body.
How long before I see results?
With Ice Wave patches, people often feel results relatively quickly - within minutes or a couple of hours.
For the X39, some feel results quickly, others take days or weeks. The recommendation from LifeWave is to wear the X39 for as many months as decades old you are. So if you are 50 years old, you should wear them consistently (as directed) for at least 5 months.
What does the patch put into me?
No drugs or chemicals enter your body. These patches use phototherapy, meaning that it gently reflects light into your body at a specific wavelength.
What is a sleeve of patches?
A sleeve of patches is a set of 30 patches.
