Medicube Booster Pro vs NuFACE Trinity+: Which Face Device to Buy
Disclosure
This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you.
Quick answer: These two devices solve different problems. The NuFACE Trinity+ is a dedicated microcurrent toner, FDA cleared, built for lifting and contouring in five-minute sessions with a conductive gel. The Medicube Booster Pro is a multi-tool: one of its modes is microcurrent, but most of its appeal is helping serums absorb and refining the look of pores and texture, with no gel required. Pick NuFACE if lift and contour are the goal. Pick Medicube if glow and texture matter more and you want one gadget that does a bit of everything.

What the NuFACE Trinity+ does
The Trinity+ does one job: microcurrent. Two rounded spheres glide over the face and neck while a low-level current runs through a layer of conductive gel. NuFACE positions it for lifting brows, defining cheekbones and the jaw, and softening the look of lines over time.
Settings: three output modes, plus a Boost button for extra power on stubborn areas.
Routine: five-minute sessions, five days a week for the first two months, then two or three times a week to maintain.
Gel: required. The starter kit includes activator to get started, and you will keep buying it.
Add-ons: attachments for eyes, lips and red light are sold separately and click onto the same handset.
What the Medicube Booster Pro does
The Booster Pro is a K-beauty multi-tool with four main modes, plus LED and vibration running alongside them:
Booster: electroporation to help serums and ampoules absorb. Use it over your skincare.
Air Shot: pulses aimed at the look of pores and texture. Use it on clean, dry skin a few times a week.
MC (microcurrent): for a lifted, plumper look around the eyes, mouth and smile lines.
Derma Shot (EMS): muscle stimulation along the cheekbones and jaw for a firmer look.
No special gel is needed, since it works with the skincare you already own. Medicube suggests starting on the lowest level, keeping thin-skinned areas on level one, and easing in if your routine includes retinol or strong vitamin C, which can make the sensation more intense.

Lift and contour: NuFACE wins
If your main goal is a more lifted, sculpted look, NuFACE is the specialist. Microcurrent is its whole design, the gel keeps the current moving evenly, and the routine is short enough to stick with. Medicube has a microcurrent mode too, but it is one tool among several rather than the point of the device.
Glow and texture: Medicube wins
If you care more about how your serums perform and how smooth your skin looks, the Booster Pro covers more ground. The Booster and Air Shot modes target absorption and pores, which NuFACE does not address at all. It also skips the ongoing gel cost.
Ease of use
NuFACE: simple. One mode at a time, a five-minute routine, guided by the app. The extra step is applying gel.
Medicube: more to learn. Each mode has its own order, direction and timing, and a full routine across all modes takes longer. The app helps.
Safety notes
Both devices send a gentle current through the skin, so read each brand’s instructions before you start. Medicube says its device is not suitable for people with a pacemaker, metal implants or active skin conditions, and not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Those same situations are worth raising with your doctor before using any microcurrent device, NuFACE included. Stop if you feel pain or see unusual redness.
Which one to buy
Buy the NuFACE Trinity+ if lifting and contouring are the goal and you want a proven, FDA-cleared microcurrent device with a quick routine.
Buy the Medicube Booster Pro if you want glow, smoother texture and better serum absorption from one gadget, with no gel to restock.

FAQ
Is the Medicube Booster Pro a microcurrent device? Partly. It has a microcurrent mode, but it also does electroporation, pore pulses, EMS, LED and vibration. NuFACE is a dedicated microcurrent device.
Is Medicube better than NuFACE? Not better, different. NuFACE is the stronger pick for lift and contour. Medicube is the stronger pick for glow, texture and getting more from your serums.
Do you need gel with the Medicube Booster Pro? No. Medicube says to use it with your regular skincare. NuFACE does need a conductive activator.
Can you use both? Yes, on different days or in different parts of your routine, if you want both serum boosting and microcurrent lift. Start slowly with each.
How long does a NuFACE session take? About five minutes.
