AMIRO (Chinese: 觅光, pinyin Mìguāng) is a Chinese beauty-technology brand established in 2015 in Shenzhen, China. The company specialises in at-home beauty and skincare devices, integrating optoelectronic technologies—such as LED light, radio frequency (RF), ultrasound, IPL, and optical sensing—with personal skincare routines. Its product range includes facial-care devices, LED masks, hair-removal tools, makeup mirrors, and skincare formulations.1

AMIRO has evolved from its origins in smart makeup mirrors to become a broader technology-driven home beauty and “precision skincare” brand. In China, the brand is operated by Shenzhen Zongjiang Technology Co., Ltd. (深圳市宗匠科技有限公司), while its international identity is presented simply as AMIRO.

The company describes itself as a national high-tech enterprise and states that it established an optoelectronics laboratory early in its development.

Quick Facts

2015–2017: Foundation and Smart Mirrors

AMIRO’s origins are closely linked to lighting and makeup mirrors. The company was founded in July 2015 with the initial goal of improving the at-home makeup experience through lighting and optoelectronic technology. Early products focused on intelligent and high-definition makeup mirrors designed to reproduce natural-looking illumination for better visibility during application.2

In 2017, AMIRO introduced its O1 high-definition daylight mirror, which incorporated ring-shaped, shadow-reducing lighting technology. According to the company, this product received international design recognition, including an IDEA design award.

2018–2020: Expansion into Beauty Technology

Around 2018, the company’s strategy broadened significantly. AMIRO established its first optoelectronics laboratory and began applying its optical technology beyond mirrors into areas such as skincare and hair removal.

Key developments during this period include:

• 2018: Expansion of optoelectronic technology into skincare and hair-care applications.
• 2019: Continued development of daylight/makeup mirrors and recognition as a national high-tech enterprise.
• 2020: Introduction of an IPL hair-removal device and subsequent expansion into professional-style home beauty technologies.
• 2020: Development of its first RF beauty device.

This phase transformed AMIRO from a makeup-mirror company into a broader beauty-device company.

2021–2022: Focus on Anti-Aging

From 2021 onwards, AMIRO increasingly concentrated on technologies associated with skin rejuvenation and anti-aging. In 2021, the company launched a deep RF facial device and established research collaborations with institutions including Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Zhejiang University. It also received design recognition such as the German Red Dot Design Award and Japan’s G Mark.

In 2022, AMIRO introduced products like the Collagen Cannon (胶原炮) and the Black Obsidian Mask, while conducting research involving clinical testing of its beauty-device technologies.

A central element of AMIRO’s recent branding is the concept of “精准护肤” (precision skincare). Rather than positioning beauty devices merely as cosmetic gadgets, AMIRO defines precision skincare as a combination of:

1. Understanding the biological mechanism behind a specific skin concern.
2. Identifying the relevant skin layer or target area.
3. Using optical or electrical technologies to deliver energy effectively.
4. Combining technology with active skincare ingredients.
5. Utilising efficacy testing to support claimed results.

The company formally promoted this concept around 2023. Its materials describe the strategy as using optoelectronic technology alongside active ingredients to address different layers and mechanisms involved in skin aging and other concerns.4

This shift marks AMIRO’s transition from primarily being a makeup-mirror brand to presenting itself as a consumer beauty-tech and home aesthetic-device company.

1. LED Light Therapy

LED and other light-based technologies are major product areas for AMIRO. The company develops light-therapy products intended to address concerns such as skin repair, acne, pigmentation, and signs of aging. Notable examples include:

• Spectra 5-in-1 LED Light Therapy Facial Mask
• Rainbow Light Mask
• Large-format LED beauty devices
• Other LED/photoelectric skincare devices

The Spectra mask, launched in 2024, uses five light colors targeting different skin concerns.1 AMIRO’s Chinese product lineup also features multiple LED devices and masks.3

2. RF Facial Devices

AMIRO is particularly associated with radio-frequency (RF) beauty devices. RF technology generates controlled heating in tissue, commonly used for cosmetic skin-tightening and collagen-related treatments. AMIRO’s portfolio includes several generations of RF devices, such as the R3 Turbo and later Collagen Cannon-related products.

In 2024, AMIRO announced that its RF beauty device obtained a Class III medical-device registration certificate in China. Class III represents China’s highest medical-device risk classification. However, this regulatory achievement does not imply that every AMIRO product is a medical device; the portfolio contains both consumer beauty products and regulated devices.

3. Ultrasound

AMIRO has expanded into ultrasound-based facial devices. The U1 UltraLift was introduced in 2024, while the Chinese market lineup includes the “Ultrasound Egg” (超声蛋). These products are positioned for skin tightening and lifting, bringing technologies traditionally associated with professional aesthetic treatments into a consumer/home-use format.3

4. IPL Hair Removal

The company produces IPL (intense pulsed light) hair-removal devices. AMIRO entered the IPL category in 2020. Its hair-removal products have obtained Class II medical-device certification in China.

5. Makeup and Daylight Mirrors

Despite expanding into advanced skincare devices, mirrors remain part of AMIRO’s identity. The lineup includes:

• High-definition daylight mirrors
• LED makeup mirrors
• Mini portable mirrors
• Portable/”bag” mirrors
• Smart lighting mirrors

The original expertise in lighting and optoelectronics continues to influence the wider AMIRO product design language.

6. Skincare Products

More recently, AMIRO has expanded beyond hardware into skincare formulations. Its current Chinese product portfolio includes serums, collagen sprays, and other skincare products designed to work alongside its beauty devices.3 This supports a strategy of combining device + skincare ingredient + treatment protocol rather than selling hardware in isolation.

Technology is central to AMIRO’s brand identity. The company states it established its own AMIROLAB optoelectronics laboratory and pursues cooperation between industry, universities, and medical institutions.4

Research collaborations involve institutions such as:

• Shanghai Jiao Tong University
• Zhejiang University
• Sichuan University
• Chongqing University
• Various medical institutions and clinical research organizations

One example of their R&D output is research into the relationship between RF electrode geometry and skin heating, which resulted in an SCI-indexed research paper.4

This R&D positioning helps differentiate AMIRO by placing it at the intersection of consumer electronics, medical aesthetics, and skincare.

AMIRO places strong emphasis on industrial design. The company reports that its products have received 38 design awards since its founding, including the Red Dot Design Award and iF Award.

Common design characteristics across AMIRO products include:

• Minimalist industrial design
• Compact consumer-electronics form factors
• Premium-looking materials
• Integration of technology into everyday beauty routines
• Emphasis on portability and home use
• Combination of aesthetic appearance with functional hardware

This design-first approach was evident in early mirror products and has carried over to its skincare devices.

AMIRO’s international website summarises its mission as developing cutting-edge medical technology for a simplified at-home beauty regime, aiming to make at-home skincare accessible and effective.2

The Chinese brand emphasises three core concepts: Simple, safe and effective.

Its positioning describes AMIRO as a leader in precision skincare, attempting to make sophisticated beauty technologies more accessible to consumers. Practically, the brand sits between three worlds: Beauty → Consumer electronics → Aesthetic/medical technology.

AMIRO occupies a position within the growing beauty-tech / home-aesthetic-device market. It is neither purely a traditional cosmetics brand nor solely an electronics company. Its proposition focuses on “Professional-inspired beauty technology that consumers can use at home.”

By translating technologies from aesthetic clinics—such as RF, LED, ultrasound, and IPL—into consumer-friendly products, AMIRO competes on dimensions including:

• Technology
• Product design
• Convenience
• At-home treatment capability
• Price relative to professional procedures
• Scientific/medical positioning
