I rolled this $350 metal puck across my jawline every night for 8 weeks. The left side of my face now looks like it got a different, better bedtime.
That sagging jowl line? It’s still there — but it’s softer. Less of a cliff, more of a gentle slope. My makeup actually sits *on* my cheekbone now instead of sliding off.
It’s a microcurrent + electroporation device from Medicube. The claim that got me? “Clinical-grade collagen remodeling.” For $350, I wanted to see if my face could look less tired without a needle.
Booster Mode (Electroporation)
Drives serum in deeper — you feel a tiny electric tingle, like a licking cat tongue.
Lifting Mode (Microcurrent)
The main event. 1,000 microcurrent pulses per minute. Feels like a gentle muscle twitch under your skin.
DMA (Dynamic Muscle Activation)
This mode hurts a little. Like a rubber band snap. But it’s the one that actually lifted my brow.

It’s not just the current — the device uses a conductive gel that’s basically a skincare serum in disguise. The ingredients matter because electroporation shoves them past your barrier.
- Adenosine: Wrinkle-fighter that actually smooths expression lines
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Argireline — the topical Botox-ish peptide
- Hydrolyzed Collagen: Sits on the surface to plump temporarily
- Niacinamide: Brightens so you don’t look gray after lifting

The gel is sticky — like cold honey. The device slides okay, but you have to reapply. First use, my face looked puffier for an hour. I panicked.
Week 2: the puffiness stopped. Week 4: my nasolabial fold looked shallower in direct sunlight. Week 8: my husband said “you look less tired” without me asking. That’s the real win.

The left side of my face looks visibly tighter. The right side? Same as before. That’s the honest truth — it works, but only if you’re consistent. I skipped three nights and lost progress.

For mature skin with real laxity? It’s not magic — but it’s the closest thing to a non-invasive lift I’ve tried. Just don’t skip a week and expect a miracle.
