I touched down in Seoul, South Korea, with the kind of feverish intent of, well, a beauty editor in the aesthetics capital of the world. I started my weeklong trip with high hopes for PDRN injectables that would plump and firm my skin—but it wasn’t in a dermatology clinic that I found the most exciting treatment of my trip. It was the Medicube Booster Pro X2 , a new-to-market at-home facial device, that had me convinced you don't need to cross the Pacific to get in on some of this city's most coveted skin-care innovations.
You may have seen the original Medicube Age-R Booster Pro facial wand on your feed; the product went viral in 2024, with everyone from Hailey Bieber to makeup artist Sir John to the majority of the Kardashian-Jenner crew touting its ability to lift and tighten skin. At the time, I didn’t believe the hype. It wasn’t convinced to add it to my own routine until our own editor in chief—and fellow hype-skeptic— Jessica Cruel , reviewed it, saying, “This is the most powerful device I have ever used.”

What’s the Medicube Booster Pro X2 Device? How it’s different from the Medicube Booster Pro How I tested the Medicube Booster Pro X2 Final thoughts Meet the experts How we test and review products Our staff and testers What’s the Medicube Booster Pro X2 Device? If, like me, you thought the original iteration was impressive, you’ll want to be seated for this review. Medicube’s new Booster Pro X2, which dropped in the US on June 16, is designed to be even more powerful than the first generation.
The wand-shaped skin-care device uses a combination of electrical technologies (with different waveforms and frequencies for each setting, according to the brand) and LED light therapy to deliver a variety of results—lifting, line smoothing, exfoliating, and more.
This device’s six modes are primarily powered by microcurrents, or little electrical currents sent through the skin to stimulate the skin cells and facial muscles. “It is thought that since microcurrent has been shown to help wound healing and reduce inflammation, it may also promote collagen and elastin production to help firm and tighten the skin,” Marisa Garshick , MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, previously shared.
Like version 1.0, the Medicube Booster Pro X2 combines that microcurrent technology with LED light , which “uses multiple wavelengths across the visible spectrum,” Mona Gohara , MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Hamden, Connecticut, told us earlier this year about the original device. “[That] may allow it to address a variety of skin concerns depending on the mode selected.”
Before we get into any more product details, know that the Booster Pro X2 isn't FDA-cleared—a designation that doesn’t mean a device actually works, but does affirm that it is similar enough to a product already cleared in the US to be considered safe. At the end of the day, FDA clearance doesn’t mean much, but some consumers feel better about investing in devices that have it. The first-generation Booster Pro doesn't have FDA clearance either.
Medicube has not come to play with this new and improved device. Our editors found that the original mode…
