Cleared, Pocket-Sized, And Twelve Minutes A Session

The Mini is Solawave's smallest light device: 9 dual-core LEDs at 630 and 830 nm and a warming head in an aluminium body that fits between two fingers. Its 510(k), K250532, names it as model 61043, the number on sale, so it scores 7 on verification. Solawave publishes no output figure, and nobody has measured one. It is a spot device worked 3 minutes per area, so a face takes 12. Amazon rates it 4.0 from 181, with ease of use and size praised and battery life split, and two Ulta owners report units that stopped charging within about a year. The warranty is one year. At $119 on solawave.co it is $30 above the $89 Ulta and Amazon listed in September 2026.
