Overview

Hooga Pro300 and Joovv Mini 3.0 are light therapy panels designed for use at home to support various aspects of your health and overall well-being.

Hooga Pro300 claims to deliver pain relief, improve performance, support the recovery of muscles, promote skin health, and fight signs of aging. Joovv Mini 3.0 on the other hand purports to increase blood flow, relax sore joints and muscles, stimulate cellular energy, and reduce joint pain and inflammation.

However, the battle between which one is better has left some in dilemma wondering which of the two will be worth investing in and deliver value for their hard-earned money. Well, that sounds like you then this comparison review meant for you.

The aim of this review is to increase your understanding of the two light therapy panels by comparing their key features. It is our hope that by the time you are through reading this review, you will already have decided on which panel to settle for.

What are Hooga Vs. Joovv?

Hooga Pro300

Hooga Pro300 is a targeted red light therapy panel designed with the intention of delivering targeted 660nm and 85nm wavelengths for benefits like muscle recovery, skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and pain relief.

Hooga Pro300, therefore, comes fitted with a targeted medical grade light therapy panel and clinically verified wavelengths of 660nm-850nm plus near-infrared power switches for customized for tailored treatment.

The light panel is also designed with key features including high irradiance of over 100mW/cm² through 60 double-chip LEDs, thus increasing efficiency and reducing treatment time. Its adjustable hand plus the 60-degree beam angle, offers you the option of tabletop use. It also comes with dissipated heat cooling fans with low EMG output for treatment distances.

Joov Mini 3.0

Joov Mini 3.0 is a red light therapy panel ideal designed to emit red and near-infrared light to reduce pain, increase circulation, relax joints and muscles, reduce pain and inflammation in the joints, and stimulate cellular energy.

Joovv Mini 3.0 also with a number of key features most of them similar to that of Hooga Pro. For instance, the device is fitted with a medical-grade light panel and clinically verified wavelengths of 660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared) with optical irradiance of 100mW/cm² going through the 60 LEDs.

However, since they have not specified if the Joovv LEDs are double chip the assumption is that they are not. This gives Hooga Pro an advantage over it because of its double-chip LEDs that make it have a larger treatment area.

As part of the brand’s patented design, Joovv Mini 3.0 comes with a door mount system, boot flow stand, or tabletop stand, making the mini expandable to both max and half-max kits. This allows you to come up with a perfect light therapy setup.

Joovv is Bluetooth-enabled, meaning that it uses wireless technology. It also comes with upgradeable kit options and ambient mode something that Hooga doesn’t have.

Features Comparison – Hooga Pro300 & Joov Mini 3.0

LEDs

Before we do a comparison of LEDs in these two devices let’s first find out why comparing LEDs is important. One research study discovered that the size or number of LEDs on a light panel increases efficiency. And of course, with such expensive devices, all you can expect from them is effective results. Now let’s compare the two.

Pro300 has dual chip LEDs Joovv Mini 3.0 panel, has single-chip LED. Based on the above research, it looks like that Pro300 efficiency is likely to surpass that of Joovv Mini 3.0 because of the dual chip LEDs advantage.

Wavelengths

Both light panels are fitted with 660nm and 850nm red and near-infrared wavelengths that have been studied and clinically proven to have a positive impact on human health and wellness.

Both brands have harnessed the science to manufacture devices that work to deliver the right amount of power to guarantee safety and treatment efficiency.

One study revealed that irradiation with a certain amount of red and infrared wavelengths has shown to have physiological effects in both human and animal cells and tissues.

Design

Before we compare the two, why is design important when it comes to choosing a light panel therapy device? Well, according to one science-based research, an LED panel device plays a vital role in ensuring that the user attains maximum light efficiency. Now that we know how this is important, let’s jump into comparison.
Hooga Pro300 and Joovv Mini 3.0 differ in design. The Pro panel has a sleek appearance especially when it is off, thanks to its metallic kind of face with built-in LEDs.
Pro300 also has rubber feet, allowing you to place it securely on a hard surface.

Joovv Mini 3.0 features a patented design that also gives it a sleek appearance. The device uses the latest technology easing its usage. For instance, you can operate the light panel seamlessly using Bluetooth technology while you still have the option of hardwire cables.

Joovv Mini 3.0 can also be operated using an App. The light therapy panel can be linked to Joovv App allowing you to track your therapy session and set reminders so that you don’t miss out on your treatment. The App also ensures ease of functionality of the device in the palm of your hand. With the app, you can easily adjust light modes and treatment settings for a customized experience.

The stand

Hooga Pro 300 and Joovv Mini 3.0 differ a bit. Pro300 comes with a stand that is adjustable, allowing you to it as a tabletop option. It also has a hanging kit which also allows you to hang it up if you don’t want it on your desktop, thus ensuring flexibility.

Joovv Mini 3.0 comes with a slider pole mount system that is custom-made to allow faster and seamless assembly and flexible treatment.

Modular connection

Hooga Pro300 it fitted with a built-in daisy chain plug, giving room to link more panels and create one large panel. Pro300 is a small panel but if in the future you happen to buy a larger panel, you don’t have to discard it. The device has the option of connecting to a larger panel to come up with a larger treatment area.

Now, Joovv Mini 3.0, comes with a door mount system, boot flow stand, or tabletop stand, making the mini expandable to both max and half-max kits. In other words, you can begin treatment with a single light panel and expand over time and build a perfect light therapy setup.

Price Value

Now, here is where you’ll be surprised because the price difference between the two devices will surprise you.

Hooga Pro will cost $279 while Joovv Mini 3.0 will cost you $1,099. That is a difference of $820, pretty huge difference there.

What makes the Hooga Pro300 stand out is its affordability. A price difference of $820 is not small money given that the device performs great and offers the same health benefits. So, if you are still determined to have a light panel on your health routine and you are working with a budget, then Pro may be ideal for you. You won’t miss out on anything in terms of health benefits because your budget is restricted from settling for the other.

Joovv Mini 3.0 may be generally expensive but still ideal for those who are not concerned about the price. What makes the panel unique even with the higher price are the seamless features, thanks to the Joovv App.

While some may not see sense in the price difference since the devices offer almost the same benefits, there are those whose money is a non-issue and won’t mind investing in Joovv Mini 3.0 provided it gives them value for their money.

However, just you know any product with more advanced features, especially involving technology comes with a higher price tag because tech makes things that appear complicated become easy with a little fun.
