Who should buy which
Buyers wanting handheld, cordless red light therapy for face/neck/targeted spots specifically, especially those building a broader circadian-health stack (Bon Charge also makes the best blue-blockers).
You need full-body coverage (go Joovv Elite or Mito Red MitoPRO 1500+), you want the largest LED count per dollar (Hooga wins on raw count), or you don't care about blue-blocker integration.
Buyers focused on face-specific photobiomodulation - collagen, fine lines, skin inflammation - who want the longest-running brand pedigree in the category at the value-tier price point ($299-499).
You want full-body PBM (Joovv Elite, Mito Red Pro 1500+), targeted recovery for joints (NovaaLab Light Pad), or mask-format coverage (Quasar MD 3D Mask or CurrentBody LED Mask cover more of the face simultaneously).
