If you’ve been scrolling through social media over the past few months and are a K-beauty enthusiast, chances are you’ve come across the buzz around Medicube’s six-in-one device, the AGE-R Booster Pro. This revolutionary beauty tool has taken the skincare world by storm, with thousands of people sharing glowing reviews and showcasing their results.
We managed to get our hands on the Booster Pro back in October and have been rigorously testing it with a variety of serums, creams, and sheet masks. Now, it’s time to share our initial thoughts in this first installment of a short series documenting our experience with this innovative device.
What is the 6-in-1 Booster Pro?
The Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro is a cutting-edge device that combines four different modes and five intensity levels designed to elevate your skincare routine. With the use of advanced vibrations and LED therapy, this device helps with skincare product absorption, lifting, muscle care, and pore care—making it a true multitasker.
The Modes and Their Functions:
- Booster Mode:
Designed to enhance the absorption of active ingredients in your skincare products, this mode uses electroporation to create temporary micro-channels in the skin, allowing nutrients to penetrate more effectively. - Airshot Mode:
Targets pore elasticity by creating non-damaging pathways on the skin’s surface using electric micro-needles, reducing pore size and refining texture. - Microcurrent (MC) Mode:
Helps to volumize and sculpt facial lines, specifically focusing on smaller, targeted areas such as the eyes, smile lines, and around the mouth. - Derma Shot Mode:
Stimulates sagging skin and muscles to promote a firmer appearance by using mid-frequency EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), revitalizing facial contours. - LED Therapy:
With five types of LED light, this therapy works to address various skin concerns such as redness, dullness, and aging.
First Impressions
As someone with acne-prone, oily skin, I decided to give the Booster Pro a shot after realizing my long-time skincare routine was no longer delivering the results I wanted. Pairing the device with Some By Mi’s Miracle Serum and a Vitamin C serum for daytime use, I’ve been incorporating the Booster Pro into my routine 2-3 times a week for the past three months.
My Routine:
- Twice a month: A full 20-minute session with Airshot Mode, Booster Mode, MC Mode, and Derma Shot Mode (5 minutes each).
- Daily use: Focused on Booster Mode and MC Mode for quick sessions.
Where I Noticed the Biggest Changes
- Pore Size Reduction
One of my biggest skin concerns has always been the large pores around my T-zone, particularly my nose, caused by excess sebum. After a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed a visible reduction in pore size. However, I learned that consistency is key—I took a week off while traveling for work, and my pores began to revert to their previous size. Thankfully, they started shrinking again once I returned to my routine.
- Fading Acne Scars
Last summer, I experienced a severe breakout that left behind several dark spots and scars. After three months of using the Booster Pro, I saw significant improvement, with some scars fading almost entirely.
So far, these have been the two most noticeable improvements in my skin. I’m currently tweaking my routine to incorporate Derma Shot Mode more frequently to target fine lines and enhance lifting effects.
Stay tuned for the next update as I continue experimenting with the Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro. I’ll share additional insights into its effects on skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture!
