Medicube Age-R Booster-H vs. Booster-Pro
The Medicube Age-R Booster-H has taken the skincare world by storm. Recently, the innovative Korean skincare brand introduced the newest member of its Age-R range: the Age-R Booster-Pro. But what exactly is the difference between these two devices? And which is the best choice for you? We will answer these questions today.
A brief insight into Medicube
Before we get into the comparison, let's first get to know the Medicube brand a little better. Medicube is not just any K-Beauty brand. They work closely with leading scientists, engineers and dermatologists to develop cutting-edge skincare products and devices.
Medicube's mission goes far beyond short-term benefits like hydrated skin and a glowing complexion. Their products and devices are designed to solve current skin problems and prevent future ones, so your skin gets better over time.
As Korea's No. 1 dermocosmetic brand, Medicube has built a reputation for science-based solutions that visibly transform skin. Each product undergoes rigorous clinical testing backed by numerous studies to confirm its effectiveness. Although Medicube has long been a favorite in Korea, the brand has only recently made the leap to the European market, including Germany and the UK.
The Age-R family
Next, we'll dive a little deeper into Medicube's Age-R family. This impressive line of skincare devices includes the Booster-H, Derma EMS-Shoot, Line-Shot, ATS Air Shot, and the newest addition - the Booster-Pro. At first glance, these devices may seem similar, but the results they deliver are quite different.
We have a detailed article that introduces the different Medicube devices and helps you find the best one for your skincare needs, so we won't go into too much detail here. After all, the focus today is on the comparison between the Age-R Booster-H and the Booster-Pro.
Age-R Booster-H
The Age-R Booster-H is a product we all know and love. In fact, it's so popular that even supermodel and influencer Hailey Bieber swears by it. As with everything the Rhode Beauty founder showcases on her social media platforms, this device went completely viral after she featured it in one of her TikTok videos. But unlike many fleeting social media trends, the hype surrounding the Age-R Booster-H is completely justified.
While it may seem simple and unassuming at first glance, the Booster-H is an absolute powerhouse in the world of skincare devices. Its main mechanism is electroporation. Electroporation, sometimes referred to as "glow surgery," creates temporary passageways in the skin. This process speeds up and improves the absorption of skincare products by a remarkable 490%. Pretty impressive, right? By delivering active ingredients quickly, it helps restore skin's radiance.
Over time, this technology not only improves the radiance of the complexion, but also improves skin texture and reduces pore size. Medicube doesn't make empty promises - they have conducted numerous clinical studies to back up their claims. Here are the exact improvements measured in clinical studies:
- Skin permeability increased by 490%
- Skin shine improved by 57.4%
- Skin pore volume reduced by 28.5%
- Temporary improvement in skin redness by 2.8%
- Skin structure improved by 6.8%
- Skin brightness improved by 0.6%
These results demonstrate why Age-R Booster-H has become a popular ingredient in many skincare routines, delivering impressive and clinically proven benefits.
Age-R Booster-Pro
Now let's take a closer look at the Age-R Booster-Pro. This is a fairly new skincare device that was launched in late February this year. And to say that this device would be a real asset to your routine would be an absolute understatement. While we all still love the Booster-H, the Pro version really does deliver better and more impressive results.
So, how are they different? Well, first of all, you need to understand that the technology behind the Age-R Booster-Pro goes far beyond simple electroporation. In fact, it combines six different technologies that work together to produce the best possible results: electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, electric needles, LED, and sonic vibration. This makes the device effective, yet gentle enough that it can be used by all skin types, even sensitive ones.
So, what benefits can you expect? Just like the Booster-H, this device drastically improves the absorption of your skincare products. While the Booster-H does this by 490%, the Pro version increases absorption by 785%! However, thanks to the other features of this device, other skincare concerns are also addressed such as wrinkles and fine lines, dark circles, sagging skin, discoloration and much more. Here are the results of the clinical trials Medicube conducted on the different modes of the device:

Final conclusion: who wins?
Finally, it's time to choose the winner of this comparison. And quite clearly, the answer is obvious: the Age-R Booster-Pro stands out as the mature, sophisticated and more advanced sister of the Booster-H. So, theoretically speaking, the Pro version takes the win.
However, that doesn't mean that the Booster-H doesn't deserve your attention! Especially if you're just starting out on your skincare journey and are looking for an entry-level device. The Booster-H is an excellent choice, especially for those looking for a budget-friendly device without sacrificing quality.

It offers a variety of benefits, including the LED light feature, and delivers a comprehensive solution for your skincare in a single device. With the Age-R Booster-Pro, you are truly investing in a powerhouse that will take your skincare routine to the next level.
