Antared started with a simple frustration: most red and near-infrared light therapy devices on the market either hide their specifications behind vague marketing language, or bury real engineering under an inflated price tag. We set out to build a range that does neither — devices with disclosed wavelengths and LED counts, built for the routines people actually keep, at a price that reflects the hardware rather than the marketing budget behind it.
That's still what guides every device we add to the range: real specifications, a format people will actually use, and no claims we can't stand behind.
Where the name comes from
Antares, the star behind the name
Antares is a red supergiant — one of the brightest stars visible to the naked eye, sitting in the constellation Scorpio. Ancient Greek astronomers named it « anti-Ares » — the rival of Mars — for the deep red hue that sets it apart from the rest of the night sky.
That colour is not just a matter of brightness: red stars are also the coolest ones. A supergiant like Antares radiates most of its energy toward the red and near-infrared end of the spectrum, rather than the blue of hotter stars — the same red and near-infrared wavelengths our devices use.
That same red is what we borrowed for the brand name: a colour that reads from a distance, long associated with intensity rather than softness, and one that literally describes the light at the core of every device. Antares lent its name and its colour; Antared turned it into a device.

Harry
Tech and health enthusiast
Tuan has spent years testing and refining light therapy protocols in the field with his athletes; Harry set out to bring the same engineering rigour he'd seen in tech to the health space. Antared grew out of that meeting of minds.
