The Medicube Booster Pro X2 adds a larger dual head, six intensity levels and three new modes, AI, Dual and Mask, to the original's Booster, Air Shot, MC and Derma Shot, so it is worth it if you will use the extra modes and want the newer model.
This review covers what you need to decide, such as:
- price
- the seven modes
- intensity levels and the dual head
- app features
- how it compares with the original
and many more!
We make PureLift, a competing device, so every detail about this device comes from the brand's own pages and published reviews.
Key Points:
Medicube's site listed the X2 at $249 in October 2026, against a crossed-out $299, and NewBeauty reported $299.
Medicube lists seven modes: Booster, Air Shot, MC, Derma Shot, AI Mode, Dual Mode and Mask Mode.
The X2 has six intensity levels and what Medicube calls a larger dual head with 2X electrodes.
AI Mode and Dual Mode customization need the AGE-R app.
Medicube's X2 page does not mention FDA clearance, and we found none.
What the X2 is
The X2 is Medicube's updated Age-R Booster Pro, with the original four care modes plus three new ones. Our guide to every mode is in our Medicube modes explained article.
Every figure comes from the brand's own website or listings, checked in October 2026. Prices change often, so confirm before you buy.

What changed from the original
Head
Medicube describes a larger dual head with 2X electrodes, and reviewers say it covers more of the face per pass.
Levels
Six intensity levels, against five on the original according to Protoclinical.
Power
NewBeauty's reviewer and others describe the X2 as twice as powerful as the original. Medicube does not publish an output figure for either.
App
AI Mode and Dual Mode customization run through the AGE-R app.
Who the X2 suits
People who want the newest Medicube device and will use Dual, AI or Mask mode.
People who want skincare absorption, pore care and a microcurrent step in one device.
Who should choose something else
People who want an FDA cleared device, since we found none for the X2.
People who want a dedicated microcurrent toning device with a published output. See Medicube vs FOREO BEAR 2 and Medicube vs NuFACE.
Original or X2
If the original is discounted and you only need Booster, Air Shot, MC and Derma Shot, the original covers them. Our review of the original is in our Medicube Booster Pro review.
If you want something different
We make PureLift, so weigh this accordingly. Our devices run nanocurrent at level 1, microcurrent at level 2 and EMS from level 3 to 10 on one dial, publish their output at a stated load, up to 7 mA at 500 ohms on PureLift Face, and are FDA cleared, PureLift Face under K190269.
Our direct comparison is in PureLift vs Medicube Age-R.
Safety
Do not use any facial current device if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, if you are pregnant or if you have epilepsy, and skip broken or irritated skin. The full list is in our safety article.
