Why We Love It: The next-generation Booster Pro is designed for increased efficacy and versatility. Twice as powerful as the original and with a larger surface head, this even offers three additional treatment modes for lifting, firming, brightening, and boosting skin-care absorption. “We recognized that consumers wanted a way to proactively support their skin at home and elevate the effectiveness of their skin-care routines,” Cho explained. “With the Booster Pro X2, we built upon that same idea by making the experience even more effective, enhancing performance to help consumers better maintain healthy looking skin and stay ahead of potential concerns over time.”

What’s the difference between the Booster Pro and the Booster Pro X2?
To start, the Booster Pro X2 is twice as powerful as its predecessor. “Compared to the original Booster Pro, the Booster Pro X2 has two times the output power, two times the electrode count, and two times the LED coverage,” Cho explains. It’s also worth noting that the Booster Pro X2 offers a 1.3x larger head area for faster, more efficient treatments. “What that means in practical terms is that users may notice a stronger and more even treatment experience across the skin, while also helping skin-care products absorb more effectively. Because the treatment area and coverage have expanded, consumers can also treat more areas of the face more efficiently.”
Take Booster mode, for example. “On the original Booster Pro, Booster Mode helped increase skincare absorption by around 763%, while on the Booster Pro X2, it helps increase absorption by approximately 1,332%,” he says for enhanced results. In the new device, you’ll notice three completely new modes in addition to the existing four; thus improving not only device efficacy, but also versatility.
The team was inspired to create a Mask mode after noticing creators using the device with sheet masks to help enhance absorption and maximize hydration and glow benefits for the skin. There’s also now a Dual mode—by combining two treatment modes into one session, you can customize your treatment based on your specific skin concerns. For further personalization, you can take advantage of AI-guided recommendations based on your skin-care habits and device usage patterns when paired with the AGE-R app in AI mode.
How to Use the Medicube Booster Pro X2
Generally, using the Medicube Booster Pro X2 is as simple as gliding the device across your face, but best practices vary slightly depending on your mode of choice. Air shot mode—the mode that uses ‘electric needles’ to gently exfoliate—is the only option meant to be applied on clean, dry skin. Otherwise, for the other modes, as board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD previously explained, “After cleansing the face, you can apply your favorite skin-care product all over the surface of the skin, select your method of choice, and use the device until your [product] is completely absorbed.”
