Use the Medicube AGE-R Ultra Tune 40.68 after cleansing and letting your regular skincare fully absorb. Start at level 1, keep all six tips touching your skin, move slowly and continuously, and use straight upward-outward strokes or gentle circles for 5-10 minutes.
- Medicube Ultra Tune does not require a special conductive gel.
- Apply regular skincare first and let it fully absorb before using the device.
- Start at level 1 and keep all six tips in full contact with skin.
- Move slowly and continuously for 5-10 minutes without stopping in one area.
- Medicube says Ultra Tune can be used 1-3 times daily, adjusted to your skin.
Why the official method matters
The AGE-R Ultra Tune 40.68 combines radio frequency (RF) and microcurrent (MC). Medicube says the RF function delivers gentle warming energy for a visibly firmer appearance, while the MC function targets facial contours around areas such as the eyes, smile lines, and mouth.
Technique matters because the device only activates when all six metal tips are fully touching the skin. Medicube also says the device adjusts its energy output if you move too slowly or pause in one place, so steady movement and full contact are more important than pressing hard.
The instructions below follow Medicube's current US product page and official Ultra Tune how-to guide, checked in September 2026. They also match the preparation, intensity, contact, movement, and session guidance on Dew Theory's product page.
Before you start
- Cleanse your face.
- Complete your regular skincare routine.
- Wait until those products have fully absorbed.
- Make sure the device is charged with the included USB cable.
- Allow 5-10 minutes for the session.
You do not need a special conductive gel. Medicube specifically says to use the Ultra Tune after your normal skincare products have absorbed. This replaces the common but incorrect advice to keep the skin wet or apply a separate conductive serum for this device.
How to use Medicube AGE-R Ultra Tune 40.68
1. Cleanse and apply your regular skincare
Wash your face, then apply the skincare products you normally use. Wait until they have fully absorbed before turning on the Ultra Tune.
Medicube's instructions do not require one particular serum, cream, or gel. Choose products that already suit your skin rather than adding a new product only to operate the device.
2. Turn on the device
Press and hold the power button to switch on the AGE-R Ultra Tune. A short press of the same button changes the intensity level.
If the device has been inactive for 10 seconds, it shuts down automatically. Turn it on again before continuing.
3. Start at level 1
Medicube recommends level 1 for first-time users. Increase the setting gradually only after you know how your skin responds.
Higher intensity is not part of Medicube's beginner guidance. If your skin feels stressed or the heat feels strong, remove the device from your skin and return to the lowest level.
4. Keep all six tips touching your skin
Place the device head flat enough that all six tips make complete contact. The device delivers energy only when every tip is touching the skin.
If the device seems weak or you do not feel warmth, check the angle first. Partial contact can stop the energy from being delivered.
5. Move upward and outward
For Medicube's basic method, glide the device in straight, upward motions from the inside of the face toward the outside. Keep the motion slow and controlled.
Medicube also shows an intensive method using gentle circular motions over each area. Both methods require continuous movement; do not hold the device still on one spot.
6. Continue for 5-10 minutes
Medicube recommends 5-10 minutes per session. If you want to continue after the first 5 minutes, press the power button and keep moving the device as directed.
Do not extend a session by parking the head over one area. The official instructions call for slow, continuous movement throughout use.
7. Adjust frequency to your skin
Medicube says the AGE-R Ultra Tune can be used daily, from 1-3 times per day. It also says to adjust the frequency and session length to your skin's condition.
This means the earlier recommendation of only 3-4 sessions per week was not aligned with Medicube's current guidance. Daily use is allowed, but more frequent use is not a requirement.
Where not to use the device
Medicube says not to place the Ultra Tune on the Adam's apple, eyelids, or directly below the eyes. Its FAQ says you may use it around the eye area at level 1 while avoiding those restricted areas.
For other medical conditions or contraindications, follow the user manual supplied with the device and ask a qualified healthcare professional when needed. The official web guide does not support adding condition-specific exclusions beyond its published instructions.
What warmth and redness mean
Medicube says temporary warmth can occur because the RF function generates heat within the skin. If you feel strong heat, remove the device head immediately and continue only at the lowest level.
Medicube also says temporary redness or heat should subside. If your skin feels stressed, lower the intensity. Stop using the device and consult the supplied manual or a healthcare professional if a reaction concerns you.
Troubleshooting
The device feels weak or produces no warmth
Check that all six tips are touching your skin. Energy is delivered only when all six points have complete contact.
Also keep the device moving slowly and continuously. Medicube says pausing or moving too slowly can cause the device to adjust its energy output for safety.
The device switches off
The AGE-R Ultra Tune shuts down automatically after 10 seconds without device or app operation. Press and hold the power button to restart it.
The heat feels too strong
Remove the device head from your skin immediately. Restart at level 1, and do not hold the device still over one area.
You want to use it around the eyes
Use level 1 around the eye area. Do not use it on the eyelids or directly under the eyes.
You are unsure about your technique
The AGE-R app includes custom guide videos, a tracking calendar, progress tracking, and device controls. Use the official guide video to check your contact and movement.
