When Dr. Amber Reinhardt first saw red light being sold for intimate health, she rolled her eyes. Twenty years as a urogynecologist had made her wary of wellness products dressed up as medicine. "Show me the mechanism," she said. "Show me the data."
The data existed. Clinics already used 660nm red light for vaginal atrophy, and 415nm blue light had been studied against the bacteria behind BV and recurring UTIs. Nobody had put the two in one device a woman could use at home.
About six years ago it was her turn, and lying awake with the symptoms felt nothing like explaining them to patients. So she built the device herself: two years to a prototype, a third tuning the heat and the light, every version tried on herself first and then on her own patients.
