Medicube publishes the battery capacity and the charging voltage. It does not publish the microamp output of its microcurrent mode, the energy of its EMS mode, or the field strength of its electroporation mode.

That is an odd set of priorities: the specifications that tell you about charging are published, and the specifications that tell you what the device does to your face are not. Six intensity levels means the dial has six positions. It does not tell you what position six delivers, or how it compares to NuFACE's 340 microamps.

We cannot rank these two devices on output because only one of them has published an output. That is the whole finding.

We searched the FDA 510(k) database by the Medicube brand and by the AGE-R device names and found no record at all. NuFACE has eight.

We want to state this fairly. Plenty of cosmetic devices are sold legally in the US without a 510(k), and an absent record is not proof of an absent clearance. But when one device in a comparison has a clearance naming the exact model and the other returns nothing, that is a real asymmetry in what a buyer can verify.

Electroporation applies brief electrical pulses to transiently increase cell membrane permeability, with the aim of helping topical actives penetrate further than they otherwise would. It is a real technique with a real basis, used in clinical settings.

Whether a consumer device at an unpublished field strength achieves meaningful penetration enhancement is exactly the same unanswerable question we keep running into. But NuFACE does not offer this modality at all, so if you specifically want it, the Medicube is the device that has it. That is a legitimate reason to choose it, made with your eyes open.

A device that does seven things has made seven engineering compromises. Microcurrent is one feature among several rather than the thing the device was designed around, and the dual head is a fixed geometry rather than a set of attachments shaped for different areas.

Against that, seven modes in one body is genuinely convenient and costs less than buying several specialized devices. The honest framing is breadth against depth, and which one is right depends on whether you have one problem or several.

The one we would buy

NuFACE TRINITY+

NuFACE · Best for anyone who wants microcurrent specifically

Up to 340 microamps published, clearances K201782 and K212947, two-year warranty, eight clearances across the brand since 2007. It does one thing and tells you what it does.

The reference microcurrent device: swappable attachments, an app, a published microamp ceiling and the deepest clearance history in the category.

Specifications

Output	Up to 340 microamps; the Boost button adds 25 microamps
Attachments	Facial Trainer, Effective Lip and Eye, Wrinkle Reducer (red LED)
Protocol	5 times a week for 60 days, then 2-3 times a week
Warranty	2 years
Clearance	K201782 device, K212947 Wrinkle Reducer attachment

FDA clearance located

510(k) K201782 (NuFace Trinity Plus Device, cleared 22 January 2021, product code NFO - over-the-counter powered facial toning). The Wrinkle Reducer attachment carries its own clearance, K212947 (2 April 2022, product code OHS).

What works

• Publishes its actual microamp output, which most of this category refuses to do
• Two located clearances, one for the device and one for the LED attachment
• Two-year warranty is the longest here

What does not

• Attachments are sold separately and add up fast
• Needs conductive gel every session, which is a running cost
• The app is a convenience, not a reason to buy

More modes, less information

Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro

Medicube · Best for someone who specifically wants electroporation

Seven modes including electroporation, which nothing else here offers, dual head, six intensity levels and published electrical specifications. No FDA clearance located for any AGE-R device, and no microamp figure published at all.

A seven-mode multi-modality device that bundles electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, electric needles, LED and sonic vibration into one dual-head body.

Specifications

Modes	7, including Booster (electroporation), MC, Derma Shot, Air Shot, Mask and AI
Intensity levels	6
Head	Dual head
Power	DC 5V / 2A USB-C, 3.7 V 2,600 mAh battery
Clearance	None located

FDA clearance not located

No 510(k) record located under the Medicube brand or the AGE-R device names in the public FDA database.

What works

• Genuinely does several jobs, and the electroporation mode has no equivalent in the NuFACE or ZIIP lines
• Published electrical specifications, which is unusual at this price
• Dual head covers ground quickly

What does not

• No located FDA clearance for any AGE-R device
• No published microamp figure, so it cannot be compared to NuFACE on output
• Seven modes means the microcurrent is one feature among many, not the focus

Specifications from Medicube retail specification; FDA 510(k) database query, 13 October 2026, checked 13 October 2026.

• NuFACE TRINITY+ if microcurrent is what you want, if a published output matters, or if you want a clearance you can look up.
• Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro if electroporation is specifically the thing you are after, or if you want several modalities in one body and accept that none of them publishes an output.
• Neither if you want the strongest evidence base in this category - that is NuFACE's clearance history, and the Medicube does not compete on it.
