I will do a lot in my quest for flawless skin, including traveling almost 7,000 miles to Seoul, South Korea, a.k.a the mecca of skincare innovation, to discover the latest and greatest in beauty development. I'm talking buzzy ingredients that you can't yet find in the States, aesthetic treatments that leave your skin looking naturally airbrushed, and of course the beauty technology that is primed to inspire a new wave of device innovation around the world. Such was the case when the Medicube team invited me to their Korean headquarters to learn all about the new Booster Pro X2, the next generation of the brand's iconic Booster Pro line.
In case you're not already familiar with the skincare tool or brand—but really, if you love beauty tech, I sincerely hope you are—Medicube is at the forefront of K-Beauty science, and has been since 2016, bringing now-household items like exfoliating toner pads and PDRN serums to market. You also may have spotted Hailey Bieber using the Age-R Booster Pro on TikTok in 2023. Now, two and a half years after the launch of the original Booster Pro device in February 2024, the brand is revisiting its hero device and updating it with both new software and new hardware to enhance the lifting, firming, and anti-aging benefits.
