If you’re in the K-beauty sphere at all, even on the edges, you’ve seen it: sleek in black or pink, sometimes even adorned with angel wings—it’s the same K-beauty device celebrities are using and everyone’s talking about: Medicube Age-R Booster Pro. I’ve been using this at-home facial device for over 6 months now and finally feel qualified to share my experience!
But the biggest question remains: Is it worth the price tag? Before we answer that, let’s break down what it actually does.
How Does Booster Pro Work?
Medicube’s “VIRAL GLASS GLOW KBEAUTY DEVICE” promises exactly that—the coveted K-beauty glass skin glow from the comfort of your home. It’s also touted for anti-aging benefits, making it ideal for those looking to improve skin elasticity and overall radiance. But how does the Booster Pro achieve this?
The 6-in-1 technology combines:
- Electroporation to boost skincare absorption
- Microcurrents to gently stimulate facial muscles
- EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) for firming and lifting
- Electroacupuncture for skin rejuvenation
- LED therapy to target specific skin concerns (used in all modes)
- Sonic vibrations for enhanced skin penetration (used in all modes)
The Four Working Modes
The kbeauty device features four distinct modes, each with adjustable intensity levels to cater to different skin sensitivities. The LED therapy for each mode is preset but customizable via the AGE-R App.
1. Booster Mode
- Uses electroporation to deeply absorb skincare products for an extra radiant, nourished complexion.
2. MC Mode
- Utilizes microcurrents to stimulate facial muscles, promoting collagen production and firmness, particularly effective around the eyes and mouth.
3. Derma Shot Mode
- Employs mid-frequency EMS to sculpt and tone facial muscles, creating a visibly lifted appearance.
4. Air Shot Mode
- Features electric needle technology, creating micro-channels in the skin to tighten pores and improve overall skin texture.
You can pair the Booster Pro device with Medicube’s products (like the PDRN Serum I love) or any of your own favorite skincare products. I also like to use it over a sheet mask in Booster Mode for enhanced absorption.
Does Booster Pro Work?
Short answer: Yes.
The Age-R Booster Pro improves skin texture, fine lines, and overall radiance—but only if you’re consistent. Like any skincare routine, one-time use won’t yield long-term results. You need to build the habit.
That said, it does take time to learn how to use the different modes effectively. The biggest challenge? Figuring out the angles, duration, and techniques for each mode. If you have the patience, it’s worth it.
Side Effects? Some users report mild irritation or muscle twitching, but the Booster Pro’s low electrical output ensures safety when used correctly.
Is It Worth the Price?
Here’s the real talk. At just over $200 USD on a good day, the Age-R Booster Pro isn’t a casual impulse buy. Plus, customs and delivery fees may add to the total cost. However, when compared to other high-end devices, it holds up:
- Dualsonic – Starts at $1,300 USD
- NuFACE Trinity Starter Kit – Costs around $395 USD
One major upgrade with this model is its all-in-one functionality—previous Medicube devices required multiple purchases for different treatments, but the Age-R Booster Pro consolidates everything into a single device. That’s a huge step up in the skincare device game: No more will we settle for a one-trick pony when we know they can do more.

Additionally, I’ve seen some argue, “Just go get a professional facial!” While facials are amazing, not everyone has easy access or the ability to go regularly. Even professional facials require consistency—so why not invest in an at-home solution like the Booster Pro that you can use on your own schedule?
If you’re consistent (or even semi-consistent!), this device will pay for itself over time.
Final Thoughts
- Best for: Skincare enthusiasts who love tech-driven beauty, are committed to routine self-care, and want a multi-functional device.
- Skip if: You prefer low-maintenance routines or expect instant, dramatic results after just a few uses.
So, is it worth it? If you’re serious about at-home skin rejuvenation, yes. Just be prepared to put in the time to master it.
