Our Picks

Spec-transparent single panel with strong coverage per dollar

Review: The MitoPRO 1500+ gets the fundamentals right in a way very few panels do. It is wide and tall enough that full-body routines feel realistic, powerful enough that sessions do not drag on, and priced fairly for the amount of coverage you get. There is no app or feature bloat here, but that is part of the appeal: it is easy to use, easy to stick with, and easy to recommend. If you want one panel to anchor a home setup without overthinking it, this is the cleanest choice.

Balanced output with the strongest warranty package

Review: This is the panel for people who value reliability and support as much as raw performance. It does not top the charts for output, and it is not a bargain pick, but it is well thought-out, pleasant to use, and backed by one of the strongest warranty packages in the category. Over months of use, that low-friction ownership experience often matters more than chasing peak numbers. A very safe, very sensible buy.

Mid-market panel with distance-stated irradiance

Review: The Hooga PRO1500 focuses on doing the basics well: clear output claims, simple controls, and a sensible price for its size. It is narrower than the top two, so you will spend a bit more time repositioning during sessions, but it is also easier to place in a normal room. It does not feel premium or especially clever, but it is predictable and easy to live with, which counts for a lot in a daily-use device.

Value pick with strong features for the price

Review: If you enjoy tweaking modes, using presets, and experimenting with different session styles, the Refine 900 is one of the more interesting panels to own. You get a lot of features for the money, and the interface feels more modern than most. The trade-off is lower output, which means longer sessions if you are chasing the same dose as higher-power panels. Great for tinkerers, less ideal for anyone who just wants to get in and out quickly.

Raw power outlier with premium pricing

Review: This is the panel you buy when intensity is the priority. It is built for shorter sessions or for treating comfortably from further away, and in that role it does exactly what it promises. The experience is more utilitarian than refined, and the price is firmly in premium territory, so the value only really makes sense if you actually need that extra output. For everyone else, it is impressive but hard to justify.

Spectrum-first panel with lower reported power

Review: The Rouge G4 leans heavily into wavelength variety and smart modes, which makes it appealing if you care about fine-grained control. It is flexible, configurable, and clearly designed for people who like to experiment. The downside is speed: lower reported output means longer sessions, and at this price that is a real trade-off. Best seen as a niche choice for people who value control over efficiency.

Software-forward modular ecosystem

Review: As a piece of consumer tech, the Solo 3.0 is excellent. The build quality is high, the app experience is smooth, and the modular ecosystem is well thought out. The problem is that on its own, it is very expensive for the amount of coverage you get, and you will spend more time repositioning than with cheaper, wider panels. It makes sense as a starting point for a larger Joovv system, but as a standalone buy, it is hard to recommend on value.

Three-wavelength mask with broad coverage and a more complete wavelength mix

Review: Best all-rounder if you want a wider wavelength mix and broad coverage in a flexible mask. Comfortable enough for regular use, and more complete than most two-wavelength options. Pricier, but easier to justify if you want one mask to cover multiple skin goals.

Comfort-first mask focused on fit and coverage

Review: Best comfort-centric pick, and still strong value in the premium red + NIR category. Simple, predictable sessions and an easy fit make it one of the safest recommendations for long-term use.

Ultra-short red + blue sessions in a structured daily routine

Review: Best for short, low-effort sessions. The 3-minute routine makes consistency easy, and red + blue covers both breakouts and general skin goals. The rigid fit and limited dose transparency keep it below the top all-round picks.

Multi-wavelength mask with vibration for a more treatment-like session

Review: Best if you want an all-in-one face gadget. The vibration makes sessions feel more like a short treatment, and the multi-mode approach is convenient if you are balancing several concerns. Higher price and heavier fit mean it makes most sense for people who actually want the vibration feature, not just LED.
