Promising results. Real women.
The MinaRosa community started as a 30 day remote pilot program using a commercial off the shelf light therapy device as a technological proof of concept. The results: promising, self reported relief for women seeking help with UTI and bladder pain.

Noninvasive light therapy
How red light becomes relief.
Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red or near infrared light to reach cells beneath the skin. There, the light is absorbed by mitochondria, which respond by producing more ATP, the energy cells need to repair themselves, calm inflammation, and ease pain.
- 01
Light hits the mitochondria
Specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria within cells.
- 02
Mitochondria produce more energy
The light stimulates mitochondria to produce more ATP, the energy molecule that powers cellular function and repair.
- 03
Enhanced cellular healing
Increased ATP strengthens cellular processes, reduces inflammation, and supports the body's natural healing mechanisms.
