‘I found this Medicube device in Korea and fell in love, so I got one for everyone I love!’
Kim Kardashian makes no secret of her love for anti-ageing treatments. However, her specialist skincare appointments don’t come cheap, making it hard for us to really be influenced by her beauty routine. So when the 45-year-old posted on her socials about a home anti-ageing gadget she’s ‘fallen in love with’, we immediately swiped for more info.
The device she was raving about is Medicube’s new Age-R Ultra Tune, which you can pick up from Amazon for £227. It’s more than a skin cream will cost you, but if you factor in your cost per use and the savings you’d make compared to booking in for a comparable radiofrequency treatment in a clinic, the buy really starts to look like a bargain.
Of the device, Kim pens: “Every year I love to find an amazing gift to give my friends and family and colleagues that is something I love and use. I found this Medicube device in Korea and fell in love so I got them for everyone I love this year!”

Adding another anti-ageing feature to the tool is LED light therapy, with five different settings depending on what your skin needs that day. Used after skincare, it glides easily over the face and feels like a targeted facial massage.
Similar radiofrequency gadgets for use at home tend to cost upwards of £350, so we’re loving this lower-cost find from Kim. However, if you’re shopping around, our Beauty Lead Zoe says it’s also well worth taking a look at Currentbody’s Skin RF Microneedling Device. It proved to be a game-changer when it launched last year, marking the first time we could all experience the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling from the comfort of our own homes. This is a treatment that, until recently, was strictly reserved for in-clinic visits with hefty price tags attached.
Considering that one clinic’s RF microneedling treatment would cost you around £500, this machine will save you a small fortune on high-tech facials. It’s priced at a slightly higher cost of
