Why We Chose It

The medicube AGE-R ATS Air Shot is one of the more unusual beauty devices in the collection, using needle-free electrical technology to target pores, rough texture, and skincare absorption without physical microneedles.

The results are what make it worth paying attention to.

Medicube reports 39.3% smaller-looking pores, 69.5% improvement in dead skin cells, 24.9% increased skin glossiness, 6.8% smoother texture, and 5.9% increased inner hydration after one use. The brand also reports 432% greater skincare absorption compared with applying products by hand. 

Unlike a traditional exfoliating tool, the Air Shot is designed to create temporary microscopic pathways at the skin’s surface using controlled electrical energy rather than physical needles. You use it on clean, completely dry skin, then follow with skincare afterward. 

That focused purpose is also why the standalone device still makes sense.

If you already own the original AGE-R Booster Pro, adding the Air Shot gives you dedicated pore and texture care without replacing a device you already invested in. And if pores, roughness, and skincare absorption are your main concerns, you may not need the broader feature set of the newer X2.

Technology

Needle-Free Microneedling Technology

The AGE-R ATS Air Shot uses controlled high-voltage electrical energy to create temporary microscopic pathways at the skin’s surface without physical needles. Medicube describes this as a needle-free approach to pore care and skincare absorption. 

The device is designed to support:

• More refined-looking pores

• Smoother skin texture

• Removal of dead surface buildup

• Increased radiance

• Better absorption of skincare applied afterward

It is used on clean, completely dry skin before skincare, which is important because the Air Shot is meant to prep the skin rather than glide over serum or cream. 

Good to Know

• Needle-free treatment with no physical microneedles

• Five intensity levels

• 5-minute treatment sessions

• Medicube recommends use 1 to 2 times per week

• Leave approximately 3 to 4 days between sessions

• Use on clean, completely dry skin

• Skincare is applied after treatment

• Designed primarily for pores, texture, and skincare absorption

• Can be used across areas of the face and neck according to Medicube’s instructions

• Start at a lower intensity if you are new to the device

• Made in Korea 
 

Prefer a dedicated texture treatment?

The AGE-R ATS Air Shot focuses specifically on pores, texture, and needle-free skin renewal.

If you already own the original Booster Pro, it is a smart way to add dedicated Air Shot technology without replacing the device you already have.

Starting from scratch? The newer medicube Booster Pro X2™ includes Air Shot functionality alongside several additional treatment modes.

Our Take

The Air Shot makes the most sense when pores and texture are the problem you actually want to solve.

It is not trying to lift, sculpt, use RF, deliver LED, and do everything else at once. Its job is much narrower: help refine visible pores, smooth rough texture, clear surface buildup, and prep the skin so your skincare can work more effectively afterward.

And the one-use numbers are surprisingly strong. A 39.3% reduction in pore size and 69.5% improvement in dead skin cells make this feel much more substantial than a basic exfoliating gadget. 

The standalone version is also a really good fit for anyone who already owns the original AGE-R Booster Pro. You can add Air Shot technology to the routine without upgrading an entire device you may already love.

If you are starting fresh and want one device that covers several concerns, we would go straight to the Booster Pro X2. But if you want a dedicated pore-and-texture specialist, the Air Shot still has a clear reason to exist. 

Pairs Beautifully With

Original medicube AGE-R Booster Pro
Probably the most important pairing on this page. Air Shot handles pores and texture first, while the original Booster Pro gives you the complementary skincare-delivery side of the routine.

medicube Zero Pore One Day Serum
A very natural post-Air Shot pairing if visible pores are the main concern.

medicube Triple Collagen Cream
A good option when you want the post-treatment routine to focus more on hydration, bounce, and radiance.

Soothing Barrier-Supporting Moisturizer
Useful after treatment to keep the routine gentle and hydration-focused.

Broad-Spectrum SPF
An important daytime step when you are actively working on texture and skin renewal.

FAQs

Does the Air Shot use real needles?

No. The Air Shot uses controlled electrical energy to create temporary microscopic pathways at the skin’s surface without physical microneedles. 

What results has Medicube reported?

Medicube reports 432% increased skincare absorption, 39.3% reduced pore size, 69.5% improvement in dead skin cells, 24.9% increased glossiness, 6.8% improved texture, and 5.9% increased inner hydration after one use. Individual results vary. 

How often should I use it?

Medicube recommends using the Air Shot once or twice per week, with roughly three to four days between treatments. 

Do I use skincare before or after treatment?

After. Medicube instructs users to begin with clean, completely dry skin, complete the Air Shot treatment, and then follow with their usual skincare routine. 

How long does each treatment take?

Approximately five minutes.

What skin concerns is it best for?

It is mainly designed for visible pores, uneven or rough texture, flaky skin, dullness, dead-skin buildup, and improving skincare absorption.

Do I still need this if I already own the Booster Pro X2?

Probably not. The Booster Pro X2 already includes Air Shot functionality alongside several other modes. The standalone Air Shot makes more sense if you want a dedicated texture device or already own the original Booster Pro and do not want to replace it.

Is this the same as microneedling?

No. It is inspired by the skin-preparation concept behind microneedling but does not physically puncture the skin with needles. Medicube describes the technology as needle-free electrical pore and absorption care.
