My DMs have been screaming about this thing for a year, so I caved and bought the Medicube Age-R Deep Shot. It’s a silver hockey puck that zaps your face 300 times a minute.
Everyone’s filming themselves looking like a startled cat, but I needed to know if my jawline actually got sharper or if I just got better at angles.
It’s a high-frequency electroporation device — basically $250 of science that claims to shove skincare deeper into your skin using electric pulses. The marketing says “microcurrent for your serums.”
Deep Shot Mode
One concentrated pulse per second — feels like a rubber band snap on your cheekbone.
Boost Mode
Rapid-fire zaps that make your whole face twitch — weirdly satisfying after day three.

The underglow isn’t just for Instagram — it’s meant to calm the inflammation the zapping causes.

The device is useless without their ampoules, which is how they get you. The hero serum is basically a hydration bomb with peptide flexing — it’s thin, watery, and absorbs in 8 seconds flat.
- Peptides: Signal collagen production without the irritation
- Niacinamide: Fades the dark spots you’ve been ignoring
- Hyaluronic Acid: Plumps the fine lines instantly
- Centella Asiatica: The peacekeeper that stops the zaps from nuking your barrier

First time: I flinched. It’s not pain, it’s *sensation* — like a fork hitting a metal filling. The serum leaves a tacky film that does NOT dry down, so you wait 90 seconds before moisturizer or your face feels like a fly strip.
Week two, I got bored and used it on my neck. Big mistake — that skin is thinner, and I looked like a turkey for a day. Stick to the face.

My cheekbones looked like I’d had a subtle facial — not a facelift. The nasolabial fold softened maybe 15%, and my skin drank moisturizer better for 24 hours after. The jawline? Unchanged. That’s the truth.

It’s a fancy way to make your expensive serum work harder, not a miracle worker. If you want a lift that lasts past dinner, get a NuFace — this is for texture and glow.
