Light TherapyBest Red Light Therapy Panel for Home Use: A Biohacker's Buying Guide
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) panels range from $150 travel-size units to $2,000+ full-body clinical panels, and price alone tells you almost nothing about effectiveness. What actually matters is irradiance at a realistic treatment distance, wavelength accuracy at 630–670nm (red) and 810–850nm (near-infrared), and whether the company publishes third-party testing. This guide compares Joovv's Elite panel, Hooga's budget-friendly HG panel, Mito Red's Mitopro line, and CurrentBody's LED mask for facial use, then breaks down how to choose based on your goals and budget. New to the science? Start with our Red Light Therapy complete guide.

Light TherapyRed Light Panel vs Face Mask: Which to Buy
On Amazon, the red-light choice that actually ships is a Hooga panel or a CurrentBody face mask. The panel is $120–$170 and treats skin plus a joint or a muscle at a distance. The mask is $449–$549, sits on the face, and runs a fixed 10-minute skin session. A mask will not treat your back. A small panel is an awkward way to do your face every day. Joovv's large panels are a separate, mostly direct-to-consumer purchase.
