LifeWave Aeon Patch Placement: CV14 or CV6, Evening Routine and Rotation

A practical Aeon placement guide: CV14 as the primary point and CV6 as the alternate, how to find each one step by step, the evening routine with up to 12 hours of wear, rotation between the two points, and the mistakes behind most placement problems.

The photo shows a patch applied to the back of the neck; Aeon goes on the abdominal midline instead, at CV14 or CV6, one patch at a time on clean, dry skin.

The LifeWave Y-Age Aeon patch goes on one of two points on the midline of the abdomen: CV14, on the upper abdomen about 6 cun (two stacked four-finger widths) above the navel, or CV6, about two finger-widths below the navel. You wear one Aeon patch at a time for up to 12 hours, then leave 12 hours off. This guide shows how to find each point, how the evening routine fits, how to rotate and how Aeon sits next to other patches.

Aeon is a non-transdermal phototherapy patch: it is sealed, worn on the outside of clean, dry, undamaged skin, and nothing in it is designed to enter the body. The points come from acupuncture and acupressure tradition and serve as a consistent routine convention, not a medical prescription. Aeon is also a single-patch product, so landing near the point is acceptable and daily consistency matters more than millimetre precision.

Use this page together with the interactive Body Map page on this site, which shows CV14 and CV6 on a visual model. The sections below also link to the full placement chart for all eight patches, the combination guide and the safety guide.

Key takeaways

  • The LifeWave Y-Age Aeon patch is placed on CV14 (the upper abdominal midline, about 6 cun or two stacked four-finger widths above the navel) as the primary point, with CV6 (about two finger-widths below the navel) as the alternate.
  • Wear one Aeon patch at a time for up to 12 hours, then leave 12 hours off; the Aeon protocol says not to wear a second Aeon patch unless your consultant directs it.
  • Use CV6 for Aeon when CV14 is uncomfortable or needs a rest, one point per application; CV6 is also the point used in the published heart-rate-variability investigation of Aeon.
  • A popular Aeon routine is to apply it in the evening while winding down, but Silent Nights remains the product most directly tied to sleep routines, and Aeon is the stress-balance option some users add to the evening.
  • In the Y-Age System rotation, Aeon takes day one on CV14 (CV6 as the alternate), followed by Glutathione on CV6 and Carnosine near GB20; the system is a rotation, not three patches worn at once unless a consultant directs it.
  • Aeon is not for use during pregnancy; ask a healthcare provider about medical conditions, and take persistent anxiety, panic symptoms or mood changes to a qualified professional instead of trying a different point.

CV14 or CV6: which Aeon point should you choose?

Both points are used for Aeon, and either one is a reasonable place to start. CV14 (Conception Vessel 14) is the primary point in the Aeon placement protocol: it sits on the midline of the upper abdomen, about 6 cun above the navel. CV6 (Conception Vessel 6) is the alternate, on the lower abdomen about two finger-widths below the navel, and it is the point used in the published heart-rate-variability investigation of Aeon.

A simple way to decide: start with CV14, the protocol default. Choose CV6 when CV14 is uncomfortable or needs rotation, as the protocol describes. Use only one point per application, and never a second Aeon patch unless your consultant directs it.

  • Default: CV14.
  • CV14 uncomfortable or in need of a rest: choose CV6.
  • CV6 taken by another patch: keep Aeon on CV14, because two patches never share one point.
  • One point, one patch, up to 12 hours.

How to find CV14 and CV6 step by step

To find CV14, lie down or stand relaxed and locate the centre of the navel. Rest four fingers side by side across your body just above the navel, then stack a second set of four fingers directly above the first. Two stacked four-finger widths come to about 6 cun, and the point sits on the midline at the upper edge of the second set. Centre the patch over that spot and keep it on the midline rather than drifting to one side.

To find CV6, stay relaxed and place two fingers side by side directly below the navel, along the midline. The point sits at the lower edge of the second finger, about 1.5 cun below the navel. As with CV14, centre the patch over the spot and keep it on the midline.

Because Aeon is a single-patch product, landing near either point is acceptable; what matters more is that the patch sits flat on clean, dry skin on the midline and that you stay on a listed point. The Body Map shows both points on a visual model if you want to check your position.

  • CV14: two stacked four-finger widths (about 6 cun) above the navel, on the midline.
  • CV6: two finger-widths (about 1.5 cun) below the navel, on the midline.
  • Centre the patch over the point and press it flat.

Aeon in the evening and how long to wear it

A popular Aeon routine is an evening application while winding down, as a companion to sleep-hygiene basics. That is a common pattern rather than a rule: product notes on this site also mention morning use or use during stressful periods, so choose the time that fits your day and keep it consistent.

Wear one Aeon patch for up to 12 hours, then remove and discard it and leave 12 hours off. Apply it to clean, dry skin free of oils and lotions, do not cut, reuse or re-stick a patch, and drink about two litres of water a day, the habit company protocols pair with every patch.

Aeon is not positioned as the sleep patch. Silent Nights remains the product most directly tied to sleep routines: it goes on 30 to 60 minutes before bed and comes off in the morning. Aeon is the stress-balance option some users add to the evening, and because its protocol gives up to 12 hours of wear and no separate overnight instructions, questions about sleeping with the patch on are best taken to your consultant.

  • Evening while winding down is the popular routine; product notes also mention morning use.
  • Up to 12 hours on, then 12 hours off.
  • One fresh patch per application; never cut, reuse or re-stick.
  • About two litres of water a day.

Rotating CV14 and CV6, and looking after your skin

An Aeon rotation does not need to be complicated. The aim is that the same patch of skin is not covered every time, so keep CV14 as the default and move to CV6 when CV14 is uncomfortable or needs a rest, as the protocol describes. One simple pattern is to alternate: CV14 for one application, CV6 for the next, then back to CV14. That is an example, not a protocol requirement. If you wear Aeon as part of the Y-Age rotation, the same logic applies from one Aeon day to the next.

Skin comes first. Never apply Aeon over rashes, broken, irritated or sensitive skin, and move away from any spot that looks red or feels sore. If redness, itching or irritation appears, stop using that area and reassess; if the reaction is severe, persistent or getting worse, stop use and speak to a healthcare professional. If a patch lifts during the day, replace it with a fresh one rather than re-sticking it.

  • Example pattern: CV14 one time, CV6 the next, then back to CV14.
  • Rotate away from red, sore or irritated skin; stop and reassess if irritation appears.
  • Replace a patch that lifts with a fresh one; do not re-stick it.

Five common Aeon placement mistakes

Most Aeon placement problems come from a short list of habits that are easy to fix.

  • Wearing a second Aeon patch: the routine is one Aeon patch at a time unless your consultant directs otherwise.
  • Using a point listed for another patch: Aeon goes on CV14, or CV6 as the alternate, rather than on points such as GV14 or GB34.
  • Applying to oily, damp or lotioned skin, so the patch lifts and has to be replaced.
  • Wearing past 12 hours: leaving the patch on for a day instead of removing it after up to 12 hours and taking 12 hours off.
  • Sharing one point with another patch: when Aeon is on CV6, a patch that also uses CV6 (X39 or Glutathione) needs a different site, because two patches never share one point.

Aeon with other patches: Y-Age rotation, Silent Nights and X39

Aeon has its own place in the Y-Age rotation. The Y-Age System protocol is a three-day cycle: Aeon on CV14 on day one (CV6 as the alternate), Glutathione on CV6 on day two and Carnosine near GB20 on day three, then the cycle repeats. It is a rotation, not three patches worn at once unless a consultant directs it.

Aeon and Silent Nights both show up in evening routines. The combination guide suggests alternating them across evenings rather than layering both on the same night; that is an editorial suggestion for keeping the evening readable, not a company rule. Silent Nights keeps its own clock: 30 to 60 minutes before bed, removed in the morning.

Aeon on CV14 does not take CV6 or GV14, the two X39 points, so the two patches can be worn without sharing a point; if Aeon is on CV6 as the alternate, X39 goes on GV14, because each patch needs its own site. The combination guide’s seven-day example shows the same idea: X39 at GV14 in the morning and Aeon at CV14 in the evening.

  • Y-Age rotation: Aeon (CV14, CV6 as the alternate), then Glutathione (CV6), then Carnosine (near GB20).
  • Aeon and Silent Nights: alternate across evenings instead of layering both in one night.
  • Aeon with X39: Aeon on CV14, X39 on GV14 or CV6; if Aeon uses CV6, X39 goes on GV14.
  • Each patch gets its own site; two patches never share one point.

Safety: pregnancy, medical conditions and when to stop

Aeon is a general wellness product, and its protocol is explicit: do not use it during pregnancy, and consult a healthcare provider if you have a medical condition. The general patch safety guide extends the caution to nursing, and the combination guide adds that a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device needs medical clearance first, and that active cancer, blood thinners, immunosuppression or an organ transplant call for a physician’s advice first.

Placement is a routine detail, not a medical decision. Aeon is discussed as stress-balance and relaxation support, so persistent anxiety, panic symptoms or mood changes belong with a qualified professional, not with a different point. Stop using the patch and speak to a healthcare professional if you notice a reaction that is severe, persistent or getting worse, or any unusual symptom, and never change a prescribed medication because of a patch routine.

  • Do not use during pregnancy; the general patch safety guide extends the caution to nursing.
  • Medical conditions: consult a healthcare provider first.
  • Ask first: implanted electronic device, active cancer, blood thinners, immunosuppression or organ transplant.
  • Persistent anxiety, panic symptoms or mood changes: a qualified professional, not a different point.
  • Stop and reassess for irritation, discomfort or unusual symptoms; never change prescribed medication because of a patch routine.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you place the LifeWave Aeon patch?

Place one Aeon patch on CV14, on the midline of the upper abdomen about 6 cun (two stacked four-finger widths) above the navel, or on CV6, about two finger-widths below the navel. CV14 is the primary point and CV6 is the alternate. Apply it to clean, dry, undamaged skin and wear it for up to 12 hours.

Aeon patch placement: CV14 or CV6?

Start with CV14, the primary point in the Aeon protocol, and use CV6 when CV14 is uncomfortable or needs a rest. CV6 is also the point used in the published heart-rate-variability investigation of Aeon. Use one point per application, and never wear a second Aeon patch unless your consultant directs it.

Can I wear the Aeon patch at night, and for how long?

Aeon is worn for up to 12 hours, followed by 12 hours off, and a popular routine applies it in the evening while winding down. The Aeon protocol gives no separate overnight instructions, so ask your consultant if you are unsure about sleeping with it on. Silent Nights is the product with an explicit overnight routine: it goes on 30 to 60 minutes before bed and comes off in the morning.

Can I use Aeon with Silent Nights or the other Y-Age patches?

Yes, as a routine rather than a stack. The Y-Age System rotates Aeon on CV14 (CV6 as the alternate) on day one, Glutathione on CV6 on day two and Carnosine near GB20 on day three, and it is not three patches worn at once unless a consultant directs it. For Silent Nights, the combination guide suggests alternating it with Aeon across evenings instead of layering both on one night, an editorial suggestion rather than a company rule.

Where should I put Aeon if I also wear X39?

Put Aeon on CV14 and X39 on GV14 or CV6, so each patch has its own point. If Aeon is on CV6 as the alternate, X39 goes on GV14, because two patches never share one point. The combination guide’s seven-day example pairs X39 at GV14 in the morning with Aeon at CV14 in the evening.

What should I do if the Aeon patch irritates my skin?

Stop using that area and move to a different point; for Aeon, that means the other of CV14 and CV6, on undamaged, unirritated skin. Never apply Aeon over rashes, broken or irritated skin, and if the reaction is severe, persistent or getting worse, stop use and speak to a healthcare professional. If a patch simply lifts during the day, replace it with a fresh one rather than re-sticking it.
