Once exclusive to the dermatologist’s office, skincare devices have now found their way onto the vanity tables of beauty enthusiasts everywhere. These high-tech tools have upgraded the skincare game considerably, especially when their benefits include lifting and tightening skin, and targeting various skin concerns.
If you’re new to the game, however, you’ll find it a relatively complicated world to navigate in, mainly because you can’t just stroll into Sephora to give it a test run. Besides, there are a thousand different types for a hundred different uses, so these tech-based options are a worthwhile investment – but only if you pick out the right one. Here, we uncover some of the best tools for you.
Medicube Age-R Booster Pro
The Medicube Age-R Booster Pro is a multi-tasking tool and is the bestselling skincare device in South Korea right now.

There are also four different modes to choose from: booster, microcurrent, derma-shot and air-shot.
