Tokyo, August 5, 2026 — Atex, a leading Japanese wellness and beauty equipment manufacturer, has officially announced the upcoming release of the Lourdes Gun Mobile (Model AX HX458), the smallest and lightest massage gun ever produced under its popular Lourdes line. The new product will go on sale September 1, 2026, with a suggested retail price of ¥8,800 (including tax / approx. $60 USD).
Redefining Portability — Just 170 Grams
Designed around the concept of “easy self-care anywhere,” the Lourdes Gun Mobile features a palm-sized form factor weighing approximately 170 grams — lighter than a standard 200 ml water bottle — making it the most compact and lightweight model in the brand’s history. Despite its ultra-light build, it retains robust performance.
The device comes with a storage lid for the massage head and an attached carrying strap, fitting easily into bags or pockets just like a smartphone. Its clean, minimalist design blends seamlessly into any setting — home, office, or on the go — eliminating the bulky “medical device” look common among massage guns.
Built In Heat Therapy — Dual Functionality
A standout feature is the integrated heating function at the base of the unit, offering two temperature settings: approximately 42°C (Low) and 46°C (High). It can be used simply as a hand warmer, or to gently warm muscles before massage to enhance relaxation effectiveness. Vibration and heating functions operate independently, each with a 5 minute auto shut off timer for safety.
Vibration performance remains impressive: an amplitude of 4 mm with three intensity levels delivering roughly 1,900, 2,300, and 2,700 percussions per minute respectively, covering everything from light daily relaxation to deeper muscle relief. Powered by a built in 600 mAh lithium ion battery (7.4 V DC), it provides approximately 1.5 hours of continuous use on maximum vibration mode, or about 6.5 hours on high heat mode. A full charge takes roughly 1.5 hours.

Market Outlook — Compact, Multi Function Wellness Drives Growth
Atex’s Lourdes series has already surpassed 16 million units in cumulative sales as of February 2026, enjoying a strong reputation across Japan’s home wellness market. The Lourdes Gun Mobile specifically targets urban professionals, frequent travelers, and health conscious consumers of all ages — especially seniors seeking gentle, convenient muscle care. By combining ultra portability, built in heat therapy, and an accessible price point, the product fills a distinct gap in the market for pocket sized, feature rich recovery devices.
Industry observers note that the post pandemic era has accelerated demand for at home fitness and recovery equipment, with portability, multi functionality, and value emerging as key trends. Atex’s latest release underscores the broader direction of Japan’s home wellness market — toward devices that are smaller, smarter, and designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
