Global Expansion into Medical Aesthetics
Medicube, the rapidly growing South Korean skincare brand backed by celebrity endorsements from Lisa of BLACKPINK, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Khloé Kardashian, has chosen Chile as the first country in the world to debut its new professional medical aesthetics line. The move marks a significant shift for the brand, which previously gained international recognition through its at-home skincare devices and beauty tools.
The launch is the result of a strategic partnership between Medicube’s parent company, APR Corporation, and Chilean firm KINEGUN Medicals, which becomes the brand’s first official global commercial partner. Through this alliance, APR Corporation aims to merge its established at-home skincare ecosystem with advanced facial device technology and high-precision medical procedures designed to restore skin quality.
Introducing PN Skin Booster
The first product to emerge from this new medical aesthetics category is the PN Skin Booster, an injectable treatment formulated with natural-origin polynucleotides (PN) of both low and high molecular weight. Unlike traditional cosmetic solutions that only address surface-level signs of aging, the PN Skin Booster is engineered to regenerate the structural integrity of skin tissue.
This professional-grade treatment is strictly limited to use by certified medical professionals in authorized aesthetic clinics and health centers. It represents a departure from Medicube’s consumer-focused roots, entering the more regulated and specialized field of regenerative aesthetic medicine.
Why Chile?
Vicente Caerols, CEO of KINEGUN Medicals, emphasized that selecting Chile as the global launch point was not coincidental. “Being the first in the world to offer this technology is the result of years of building trust in Chile’s aesthetic medicine market, always with products that meet the highest global standards,” he said.
Chile’s growing reputation as a regional hub for aesthetic and cosmetic procedures, combined with its robust healthcare infrastructure and regulatory environment, likely played a role in the decision. The country has increasingly attracted international beauty and wellness brands looking to expand across Latin America.

Expanding K-Beauty Beyond the Bathroom
The launch underscores the evolving influence of South Korean beauty innovation, extending from everyday skincare routines to advanced dermatological treatments. As K-beauty continues to dominate global markets, brands like Medicube are pushing boundaries by integrating medical science with cosmetic expertise.
With Chile serving as the starting point, the company is positioning itself to expand further into the Latin American market and beyond, capitalizing on the rising demand for minimally invasive, science-backed aesthetic solutions.
Industry analysts note that this move reflects a broader trend among K-beauty brands seeking to diversify their offerings and tap into the lucrative professional aesthetics sector, where margins and consumer trust tend to be higher than in mass-market skincare.
While the PN Skin Booster will not be available over the counter, its introduction signals Medicube’s ambition to become a full-spectrum player in the global beauty and wellness landscape — from the bathroom cabinet to the clinic.
