TheraFace Mask, $650: The TheraFace Mask is a hands-free, wireless phototherapy device that uses three wavelengths (red, infrared, and blue) to meet different skin care needs. To set itself apart from its competitors, the TheraFace mask includes a built-in vibration therapy mode that massages pressure points around the eyes, brow line, and scalp to relieve additional pressure. It comes with a removable eye shield and a stylish display stand, making it easy to store on your nightstand.

JetBoots Prime for $550: Compared to the JetBoots Pro Plus, the JetBoots Prime keeps it simple: You get four pressure levels (25, 50, 75, and 100 mmHg) and three durations (20, 40, or 60 minutes), all of which are adjustable throughout the session via a built-in control panel. It’s cordless with up to 180 minutes of battery life and can be used while charging. Plus, it folds down into the included drawstring bag, making it easy to carry and store.

WaveRoller for $180: Foam rollers are great for improving range of motion, increasing blood flow, and reducing muscle tension. You can buy a decent foam roller for much less, but the WaveRoller offers Therabody app integration for a personalized experience and five vibration frequencies. Designed for full-body use, it works best for post-workout warm-ups and recovery.

TheraFace Pro for $420: The TheraFace Pro includes six detachable magnetic heads for cleansing, micro-current, rhythmic massage, and LED light therapy – blue light for acne, red light, and infrared light for anti-aging. Previous reviewer Haley Sprinkle tested the facial device and raved about her skin He was Smoother and brighter, but she also noted that there are no clinical studies proving that microcurrents are an effective facial treatment.

Theragun Mini (3rd generation) $220: I recommend the Mini if ​​you are new to rhythm therapy or need something that can be packed for travel. It’s the smallest and lightest of the Theragun pistols, with three attachments (standard ball, damper, and thumb) and a zippered pouch that can fit into a purse, gym bag, or carry-on.

Theragun Sense for $300: The Theragun Sense is slightly smaller (and lighter) than the Pro Plus, and it’s also impressively quiet. Some settings are nearly silent, allowing for a discreet recovery session at any time of the day without having to worry about disturbing your housemates. It has the same LCD screen and breathing features as the Pro Plus as well. The main difference here is that it is compatible with fewer attachments, but four heads are still more than enough for an active individual.

Theragun Pro (5th generation) for $530: Therabody still sells a few older generations as well as refurbished models directly. You may find older models for sale on Amazon. Although we haven’t tried them all, we think it has to do with the price. Anything older than the 2019 or 2020 releases may not be worth it unless the price is shockingly low. This professional device was released in 2022, so it is still a good deep tissue massager. If you can find it on sale and don’t need all the latest updates, you should be happy with this update over Pro Plus.
