My smile lines looked like I’d been smiling through a dust storm. After a month of nightly zaps with the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, my jawline actually has a shadow again.
The real moment I knew? My boyfriend asked if I’d “lost weight” in my chin. Nope—just 30 days of microcurrent pulling my face back into place.
It’s a handheld microcurrent device that claims to firm, lift, and boost product absorption. Costs about $250. The brand says you’ll see “visible lifting” in 2 weeks—I called bullshit until week 3.
Microcurrent Mode
Sends low-level electrical pulses to stimulate facial muscles—like a workout for your face without the sweat.
Booster Mode
Uses iontophoresis to push serums deeper. I tested it with a cheap moisturizer—absorbed in 12 seconds flat.
LED Red Light
630nm wavelength for collagen. You barely feel it, but it’s the silent worker.
The device itself doesn’t have ingredients, but it works best with conductive gels. I used their Booster Gel—it’s basically water, glycerin, and a bunch of peptides. Not fancy, but it does the job.
- Glycerin: Draws moisture in so the current doesn’t fry you
- Peptides: Signal collagen production over time
- Niacinamide: Calms redness from the zapping
- Water: Literally just carries the current
First use felt like a weird cat tongue licking my face—tingly, not painful. Texture was slippery, then sticky for 10 seconds before drying down. Not cute.
Week 2 I almost quit. My left jawline looked more lifted than my right (user error—I held it at a wonky angle). By week 3, symmetry came back. Unexpected win: my undereye puffiness halved. Never saw that coming.
My nasolabial folds softened by maybe 30%. Jawline is sharper—not Kardashian sharp, but I can see bone structure again. The deep 11s between my brows? Still there. This thing isn’t Botox.
It works—but slower than you want. If you’re patient and consistent, your face will reward you. If you’re lazy, save your $250.
