Why red light therapy is having a moment in women's wellness
Consumers have increasingly embraced wellness products designed around prevention, longevity and at-home care. Red light therapy has become particularly popular
because it is non-invasive and can be incorporated into regular routines.
That interest is also showing up in intimate wellness. Grand View Research estimates the global vaginal rejuvenation market was worth approximately $3.57 billion in 2023 and projects it could reach $14.34 billion by 2030, representing a roughly 22% CAGR.

Mona Spectra is Lelo's take on the growing red light therapy trend, pairing LED technology with the brand's Mona-style internal massager.
Rather than choosing between a pleasure device and a wellness gadget, the device is designed to combine the two.
Lelo says the red light technology is intended to support circulation, collagen production, tissue elasticity and intimate comfort. Those are interesting claims in the context of the broader photobiomodulation field, although research specifically evaluating red light devices for intimate health is still developing.
The red light therapy is what makes this Lelo especially interesting
Red light therapy has been having a major moment in the wellness world, showing up in everything from face masks to recovery devices. Now, Lelo is bringing the technology into the bedroom with an intimate wellness device.
Mona Spectra uses red LED light at 615-625 nm, a wavelength range that's being studied for its potential effects on cellular activity, circulation and tissue health. The basic idea centers around how when certain wavelengths of light interact with cells, they may help support the cells' natural energy-producing processes.
Research into red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, has explored potential benefits including supporting circulation, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. There is also growing interest in how the technology could be used for intimate wellness, although research specifically on vaginal applications is still developing.
The Mona Spectra is not simply another red light therapy gadget that takes up space on your bathroom counter. It's designed to combine the light therapy trend with a device you might actually want to use.
Note: Red light therapy itself has been studied extensively in various contexts, but that doesn't mean every red light device or wavelength has been clinically proven to treat a particular intimate health condition.

It has four LED light options
One of Mona Spectra's biggest differentiators is that the device offers more than just red light.
According to Lelo, the red LED setting operates at 615-625 nm, while connecting the device to the Lelo app unlocks additional green, blue and near-infrared settings.
The app-controlled options include:
- Red light: 615-625 nm
- Green light: 525-535 nm
- Blue light: 465-475 nm
- Near-infrared: 850 nm
Lelo says the device's LEDs are UV-free. That makes the app more than a simple remote control. It gives users additional ways to customize the device's light and vibration experience.

Mona Spectra has 16 vibration intensities
Of course, this is still a pleasure device—and Lelo hasn't exactly forgotten the vibration component.
Mona Spectra features 16 vibration intensities using the brand's Smoothrise technology, which is designed to create a gradual transition between intensity levels rather than abrupt jumps. Lelo also says the device has multiple vibration modes, with additional options available through its app.
The result is a device that can be customized depending on whether you're interested in the light therapy component, vibration, or both.
Is Lelo Mona Spectra waterproof?
Yes. Lelo describes Mona Spectra as fully waterproof.
You can customize the experience through the Lelo app
When connected to the Lelo app, users can customize the combination of LED and vibration settings. Lelo says users can choose LED therapy alone, vibration alone, near-infrared therapy, or combinations of the available features.
For someone who already uses red light technology elsewhere in a wellness routine, that flexibility may be one of Mona Spectra's biggest selling points.
How much does Lelo Mona Spectra cost?
Lelo currently lists Mona Spectra at $299 on its website. Shoppers can currently use code SPECTRA10 for an additional 10% off, bringing the price down to around $269.10 before taxes.
