Where the science of lightmeets skincare.
Red and near-infrared light, at the wavelengths studied for collagen and skin renewal. Twenty minutes. At home. On your own schedule.
A welcome price to mark our launch.
View full detailsWhy it exists
Serums work on the surface. Collagen is made underneath it. minara reaches that layer with red light. Its longest wavelength, 1060 nanometres, carries further again, into muscle and deep tissue.
Skin
Where the evidenceis strongest
Facial skin is where light therapy has been studied most closely. The cells that produce collagen sit beneath the surface, and at 630 and 660 nanometres red light reaches them directly.
Collagen, elasticity, fine lines, radiance. Gradual and cumulative, which is why the panel was made for a routine rather than an occasion.
The effect
What a consistentroutine supports
01
Collagen, elasticity and radiance
Fibroblasts in the dermis respond to red light by supporting the production of collagen and elastin, the two proteins that keep skin firm and elastic. A brighter, more refreshed-looking complexion is often the first change people notice.
02
Fine lines and wrinkles
Supporting the density of the layer beneath the surface helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time, most visibly around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
03
Skin texture
Consistent use is associated with smoother-looking skin and a more refined, more even surface.
04
Hair and scalp
The same wavelengths are used in hair-care routines, where they may support a healthy scalp environment and the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair.
05
Muscle recovery
Near-infrared light is commonly used as part of a wellness routine to support muscle relaxation and general comfort after physical activity.
06
Rest and sleep
It can support a more restful nighttime routine by promoting relaxation and complementing the body's natural sleep-wake rhythm. Used as part of a consistent evening routine, it can create a calm transition toward rest and help support overall sleep quality.
The technology
Light your cellsalready know how to use
Red light is visible. Near-infrared is not, and interacts with tissue at greater depths. Both have been studied for decades for the way they interact with the natural processes that produce collagen and renew skin.

The object
An object first,an instrument second
A device you are meant to use often has to earn its place in the room. minara is drawn as an object first: a clean steel body, no branding across the face, and a display that tells you what you need and nothing more.
