Did you know that some of LifeWave’s most popular wellness patches — like X39, X49, Alavida, and the Y-Age range — are often placed at the base of your neck? While they may look like simple stickers, these patches are part of a revolutionary technology designed to help your body thrive naturally.
LifeWave’s wearable wellness patches harness phototherapy and body heat to trigger biochemical responses that awaken your body’s potential. There are no needles or chemicals; it's just a safe and non-invasive approach to feeling better, looking better, and boosting your vitality.
Founded in the United States over 21 years ago, the company made its Malaysian debut five years ago—right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the global uncertainties, LifeWave quickly gained traction, fuelled by growing interest in non-invasive, health-enhancing alternatives. Headquartered in Utah with a manufacturing facility in Ireland, LifeWave ensures product quality and authenticity by shipping directly to customers through its official website.
Revolutionary Technology for Vibrant Health

At the core of LifeWave’s success is its X39 patch — the company’s flagship product that stimulates the production of GHK-Cu, to promote wound healing, better sleep and overall well-being. “Once the patch is on your body, your own infrared heat activates it. It reflects specific wavelengths that tell your cells what to do — such as producing glutathione or carnosine, depending on the patch,” explained How Kam Chiong, Country Manager for LifeWave Malaysia and Singapore.

How to Use LifeWave X39
For optimal results, apply the LifeWave X39 patch to clean, dry skin. Recommended application sites include the back of the neck and below the navel. LifeWave patch users are advised to stay hydrated because hydration helps the body respond optimally to the patches’ effects. It is advisable to wear the patch for up to 12 hours per day, followed by a 12-hour rest period. Consistent daily use can help maintain elevated GHK-Cu levels and maximize the benefits.
As with any health product, sourcing it from the right place matters. How also cautioned consumers to avoid buying from platforms like Shopee or Lazada, as counterfeit versions from China have already been found circulating online.
Beyond X39, LifeWave’s expanding product range addresses everything from stress reduction to skin rejuvenation. The X49 patch, for instance, promotes performance, strength, and stamina, while the Alavida patch is formulated to promote healthier, more radiant skin from the inside out. Each patch serves a specific purpose, but they all share the same foundation: light-activated technology designed to communicate with the body naturally.
LifeWave Expands Reach and Wins Golden Bull Award 2025
To build stronger connections with their community, the LifeWave team has been actively engaging with consumers across Malaysia. “We don’t just stay in KL, we travel from Kedah, Penang, Melaka, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak and have been doing back-to-back product talks and seminars to educate and inspire,” How explained.
These road shows are often held in collaboration with LifeWave’s growing network of brand partners, who help spread awareness, share testimonials, and demonstrate how the products have changed their lives.

One of the most meaningful highlights for the team this year? Winning the Golden Bull Award for Outstanding SME 2025. “We were thrilled. This award truly validates our growth journey and adds credibility to our brand in Malaysia. It shows our customers and partners that we’re here for the long run,” How said proudly. It’s the third major award the company has received, alongside the SME100 Fast Moving Companies Award and the Sin Chew Health & Wellness Award.
LifeWave’s mission isn’t just skin-deep. Community outreach has also become a core part of its DNA. As part of its CSR efforts, the team runs quarterly initiatives, including activities like dining experiences that support visually impaired waitstaff at “Dining in the Dark KL”. Some of the proceeds from the event also helped support the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB). “We want to spread our impact across different groups, even if the donations aren’t huge. It’s about consistency and heart,” said How.
Looking ahead, LifeWave plans to launch Cellergize, a nutritional supplement powder currently available in the US, adding another layer to their holistic health ecosystem. Closer to home, the team is also working on integrating more payment options beyond credit cards to ease purchases.
As LifeWave continues to grow its footprint across the region, the team remains focused on education, authenticity, and innovation. With a unique blend of light-activated wellness technology, heartfelt community efforts, and strategic expansion plans, LifeWave is not just building a brand — it’s cultivating a movement toward better health, inside and out.
