Did you know that Joovv is considered one of the leading companies in the global red light therapy device market?

You should if you have explored Joovv online or used any of their red light therapy panels.

Joovv panels are unique in several features, and the manufacturer claims a “Joovv difference” for creating a “true medical-grade device.”

But have you considered that there are Joovv alternatives with competitive specs and more affordable price tags?

Check out the top 6 Joovv competitors from the long list of brands we tested.

Features of Joovv Red Light Panel

Talk to red light therapy experts and they will tell you that the top 2 features of the best RLT device are wavelength and irradiance (power output).

Joovv panels meet the requirements for these features in that all their panel options (Go 2.0, Mini 3.0, & Solo 3.0): 

• Deliver LED red light wavelengths of 660 nanometers (nm) and near-infrared light wavelengths of 850nm.
• Have an irradiance above 100mW/cm2 at the LEDs surface (not optical irradiance).

Having the first feature means that Joovv panels can deliver many benefits of red light therapy, including:

• Skincare for issues like wrinkles, fine lines, acne breakouts and scars, eczema, and psoriasis.
• Pain management for chronic joint pain, inflammation, and sports-related injuries.
• Muscle recovery and relaxation.
• Wound healing.
• Overall wellness from better stimulated cellular energy, increased blood circulation, and controlled oxidative stress.

The second feature qualifies the Joovv panels as capable of delivering the above benefits effectively in shorter timeframes.

But these are not the only features that make Joovv a unique red light therapy products brand. 

Here are additional features that make the Joovv brand stand out:

• A modular design: Joovv’s generation 3 devices allow you to combine up to 6 panels to create a customized panel setup for your therapy needs.  
• Mobile app-controlled settings: You can easily control your treatment settings, track your therapy sessions, and enjoy the ambient mode using the Joovv app. 
• Recovery+ features: Including an ambient night and morning soothing light, pulsed technology, alarm clock function, and panel pairing with Bluetooth or cables.

So, here’s a summary of the above and other key features of the Joovv red light therapy panels: 

• Price: $599 (Go 2.0), $1,099 (Mini 3.0), & $1,599 (Solo 3.0).
• Wavelengths: 660nm & 850nm.
• Irradiance: >100mW/cm².
• LED count: 12 (Go 2.0), 60 (Mini 3.0) & 150 (Solo 3.0).
• Beam angle: 60°.
• Warranty: 1 year (Go 2.0), 2 years (Mini 3.0 & Solo 3.0).
• Return period: 30 days (Go 2.0), 60 days (Mini 3.0 & Solo 3.0).

Despite Joovv’s great features, their panels have fat price tags. Also, their wavelength range is limited to 660nm and 850nm.

So, do our 6 Joovv alternatives offer affordable red light therapy, and how do their features match or outmatch Joovv?

Our top 2 tested picks outmatch Joovv with their multiple wavelengths and higher irradiance.

RedLiteX compares to Joovv in that it has multiple panel options to choose the best one for you. 

Also, its RedLiteX RL1200 is similar to the Joovv third-generation panels in its modular design. You can combine several panels through a wireless connection to extend your therapy coverage area and speed up therapy effectiveness time.

Another similarity is that both brands focus on delivering true medical-grade RLT devices. They also have the dimmable and pulsed wave options.

However, RedLiteX RL1200 outmatches Joovv in several features.

First, it has 7 wavelengths. 

This vast range of wavelengths allows you to choose the 480nm blue light therapy wavelengths separately or enjoy a range of red, near-infrared (NIR), and far-infrared (FIR) therapy wavelengths simultaneously. The wavelengths range from 630nm to 1060nm.

Secondly, the RL1200 has a higher power output of >210mW/cm² (optical irradiance) than Joovv’s >100mW/cm².

A third core difference between the RL1200 and Joovv panels is that the RedLiteX has a beam angle of 30°, while Joovv delivers light at 60°. 

This means that the RL1200 irradiance is more focused on the targeted treatment area, while Joovv’s irradiance is widespread.

Two other unique features of the RL1200 are its 240 light-emitting diode count and user-friendly touchscreen interface.

Like Joovv, Platinum LED has several RLT panels suitable for home use in its BIOMAX series.

The BIOMAX600 is similar to Joovv panels in that it delivers both red and infrared light with dual-chip technology. It is also a modular design that allows the combination of 2-4 panels for a larger-area therapy setup.

But as a difference, PlatinumLED BIOMAX600 has seven wavelengths, starting with the 480nm blue light wavelengths to 1060 FIR wavelength. 

That makes it a great option for any type of treatment, from skincare for rejuvenation to chronic pain management and deep tissue cellular renewal.

PlatinumLED BIOMAX600 also outmatches Joovv for its user-friendly session setting features. You can use a simple remote control that comes with the panel to set therapy specifications or opt for the built-in voice recognition feature.

Or, as an additional purchase, you can acquire a patented next-gen touchscreen remote.

Similar to Joovv, Hooga ULTRA1500 is a modular design panel. You can use it alone or set it up with other panels to irradiate a larger therapy area or the whole body.

Also, the ULTRA1500 has the pulsed wave option for enhanced phototherapy outcomes.

But, the Hooga ULTRA1500 has several features that are different from Joovv.

First, while the biggest Joovv panel has 150 dual-chip LEDs, the ULTRA1500 is equipped with 300 quad-chip LEDs. 

This means it covers a larger treatment area in a single session and has a higher light intensity. Consider also that its irradiance power of >165mW/cm² surpasses Joovv’s >100mW/cm².

Additionally, Hooga ULTRA1500 has four wavelengths. It allows the user to reap the benefits of red wavelengths (630 & 660nm) and NIR wavelengths (810nm & 850nm) simultaneously.

The MitoPRO 1500X red light therapy panel is similar to Joovv in several features. 

First, both the MitoPRO 1500X and Joovv’s biggest panel, the Solo 3.0, have 300 dual-chip LEDs. 

Also, both have an alarm clock feature that delivers the experience of sleeping off or waking up to the calming ambiance of red light.

Like Joovv, the 1500X uses a remote control and a mobile device app for easy and advanced therapy details setting. The two brands also offer the pulsed wave treatment option.

Different from Joovv, however, the MitoPRO 1500X has 6 light wavelengths compared to Joovv’s two options. The wavelengths range from 590nm at the margin of blue and red light wavelengths to 850nm NIR wavelengths.

Also, the 1500X has an irradiance >160mW/cm² compared to Joovv’s >100mW/cm².

The Vital Elite red light therapy device is closely similar to Joovv with its 110mW/cm² irradiance power.

But, it is different in that it delivers four light wavelengths from 630nm & 660nm red to 810nm & 850nm NIR, against Joovv’s two wavelengths. 

That means it can offer a wider range of therapy options for skin health, pain management, muscle recovery, and overall well-being.

The Kala Red Light Elite Panel is like Joovv in that it has two wavelengths: 660nm red and 850nm NIR.

However, Kala Elite outmatches Joovv because the Solo 3.0, which is similar to Kala Pro in size, has only 150 LEDs compared to Kala’s 231. This means you can cover a larger treatment area with the Kala Elite.

Also, Kala Elite has a higher irradiance power of 161mW/cm² compared to Joovv’s >100mW/cm².

It also has a better light focus on the treatment area with its 30° beam angle. Joovv has a more spreading beam angle of 60°.
