Medicube Device Review: Every AGE-R Device Compared (2026)
Medicube’s AGE-R devices are some of the most-searched beauty devices in the US. Here is every Medicube device on its US store, what each one actually does, current prices and FDA records, and which one fits which buyer.
Medicube devices: quick picks
- Best Medicube device overall$249 at Medicube (regular $299)
Seven modes including electroporation, microcurrent and EMS, six intensity levels and app control. The one to buy if you want the full AGE-R experience.
- Best budget Medicube device$99 at Medicube (regular $160)
Electroporation plus red and blue LED in a pocket-sized wand. Good for absorption and glow; no microcurrent or EMS. Charging cable not included.
- Best Medicube device for firmness$350 at Medicube (regular $530)
Radiofrequency plus microcurrent, no gel needed, for daily 5–10 minute sessions. Medicube’s only RF device on its US store.
- Best for a multi-tool routineFrom $110 at Medicube (sets $179–$229)
A mini booster with swappable cleansing-brush and face-roller heads. Choose it for convenience, not for advanced modes.
Short answer: the Booster Pro X2 is the Medicube device most people should buy, the Mini Booster Pro is the budget pick, and the RF Ultra Tune is the one aimed at firmness. All are research-based picks: we haven’t tested Medicube devices hands-on, so we draw on Medicube’s product pages, FDA records and published hands-on reviews, and we label brand claims as such. Prices were checked on Medicube’s US store on October 8, 2026, when most devices were discounted from their regular prices; they change often.

Prices checked October 8, 2026 at medicube.us (Olive Young US for the noted price). “Class I listed (ISA)” means FDA’s registration and listing database shows the device under “massager, therapeutic, electric”; it is not FDA clearance.
How we chose
We included every Medicube device sold on its US store when we checked, and compared them on what each technology can realistically do, published specs and session guidance, FDA records, what independent hands-on reviewers report, and price. Limited editions and gift listings were left out. Our full method is in How We Evaluate.
Medicube Booster Pro X2
- Modes
- Booster X2 (electroporation), MC X2 (microcurrent), Derma Shot X2 (EMS), Air Shot X2 (“electric needles”), Mask, Dual, AI
- Intensity
- 6 levels
- Extras
- 7 LED colors, sonic vibration, AGE-R app (Bluetooth) for AI and Dual Mode customization
- Use
- Booster, MC and Derma Shot 1–3 times daily; Air Shot 2–3 times a week (per Medicube’s listings)
- Regulatory
- Class I listed (ISA) under APR. Not FDA-cleared
- Price
- $249 (regular $299); a separate $179 promotional listing also appeared
The X2 keeps the original four modes and adds Mask Mode (over a sheet mask), Dual Mode (two modes at once) and an app-based AI Mode. Medicube says it has twice the power output and electrodes of the original Booster Pro; that’s a brand claim. Glamour UK named it the “Best Upgraded” microcurrent device. If you want one Medicube device that does the most, this is it. Full details in our Medicube Booster Pro and X2 review.
Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro (original)
The original four-mode Booster Pro (Booster, Air Shot, MC, Derma Shot) was back on Medicube’s US store at $230 (regular $249) in black when we checked, and Olive Young US listed it at $221. With the X2 only about $20–$30 more at current prices, the X2 is the better buy unless you find the original heavily discounted.
Medicube Mini Booster Pro
- Technology
- Electroporation with red and blue LED modes
- Use
- 5–10 minutes per session, up to 3 times a day, per Medicube
- In the box
- Device and manual. No USB charging cable (USB-C, 5V/2A)
- Regulatory
- Class I listed (ISA) as AGE-R Booster Pro Mini. Not FDA-cleared
- Price
- $99 (regular $160)
The Mini focuses on what most reviewers like best about the full-size Booster Pro: the absorption-boosting Booster mode and a quick glow. It has no microcurrent or EMS, so don’t buy it for contouring. Medicube cites a “562% improvement in skin absorption rate,” a brand-reported figure we couldn’t check.
Medicube Mini Booster Pro Plus
- Modes
- Red, Blue and Purple modes; LED emits only on skin contact; AGE-R app
- Heads
- Sold alone ($110) or in sets with a cleansing head ($179), face-roller head ($189) or both ($229)
- Gel
- The roller head needs a conductive gel, per Medicube
- Regulatory
- Class I listed (ISA) as AGE-R Booster Pro Mini Plus. Not FDA-cleared
The Plus turns the mini booster into a small system with a cleansing brush and a massage roller. Medicube says it delivers “up to 6.2 times” the performance of the Mini, another brand claim. It’s about convenience; if you only want the booster, the plain Mini is cheaper.
Medicube RF Ultra Tune 40.68
- Technology
- Radiofrequency plus microcurrent; energy only when all six tips touch the skin
- Use
- Daily, 1–3 times a day for 5–10 minutes, without a special gel
- Regulatory
- We found no FDA listing in our search
- Price
- $350 (regular $530)
The Ultra Tune is Medicube’s answer to home RF devices. Medicube contrasts it with its Deep Shot (RF plus ultrasound, 2–3 times a week), saying the Ultra Tune runs at a much higher RF frequency and suits daily use. In-office RF is well studied for skin laxity; home RF runs at far lower energy. Compare it with other technologies in LED vs microcurrent vs RF vs EMS vs ultrasound.
Is Medicube worth it?
For the right expectations, yes. Published hands-on reviews are broadly consistent: CNN Underscored used the Booster Pro daily for over a month and judged it worth buying while noting it doesn’t fully live up to its “6-in-1” billing; Byrdie’s sensitive-skinned tester saw only brief redness but found the full routine time-consuming; Cosmopolitan’s testers singled out Booster mode. What none of them describe is lasting lift. Medicube’s own percentage results come from brand-commissioned testing.
- Worth it if you want an affordable, gel-free device that gives a same-day glow and you’ll use it several times a week.
- Skip it if you dislike tingling (microcurrent, EMS and Air Shot can be felt), want one technology with deeper evidence (an FDA-cleared LED mask), or expect clinic-style lifting.
Medicube vs ultrasound devices
If the “no tingling” approach appeals, our picks are in the best at-home ultrasonic facial devices, including THOME The Glow at $299–$399. The flagship head-to-head is Quadthera Titan vs Medicube Booster Pro X2.
What we’d pick on a Medicube-like budget: the Quadthera MiniTitan, with 3, 10 and 19 MHz and a titanium head for $299.25 on pre-order until November 5, 2026 ($399 after).
