Qure vs Seranova: Micro Infusion Systems Compared (2026)

Qure and Seranova both sell an at-home micro infusion stamp used every 2 weeks, but Seranova is the easier recommendation for a first purchase^2,6. It costs less to start, its 3-month kit costs less per session than Qure's comparable bundle, and it lists a fresh head for every treatment^2,3,6,7. Qure takes the price lead only when you commit to its larger 6-month bundle.

Quick answer

• Best for most first-time buyers: Seranova. It starts at $99, or $78 on subscription, and every stated treatment has its own fresh head^6,7.
• Pick Qure if you are ready to commit to 6 months: $259 for 12 treatments, or about $18.17 a session on subscription³.
• Check first: Qure deducts a return fee of about $29 to $49⁴. Seranova takes standard returns only if the kit is sealed and unused⁸.

How we compared Same checks for both brands: price and subscription price at every kit size, cost per session from each brand's own treatment count, kit contents, serums, returns, guarantee wording, cancellation route, FDA database status and published ratings. Facts checked on 24 Oct 2026. Nobody at DermaRatings has used either kit.

What does each one cost over 6 months?

Per-session figures can hide the real bill. Here is the same stretch, 12 treatments at one every 2 weeks.

Sums: Seranova $159 × 2 = $318 and $126 × 2 = $252. Over those 6 months, Seranova costs $59 more one-time and $34 more on subscription^3,7. It costs less to start, though: its 1-month kit is $99 against Qure's $119. Qure also sells single treatments at $30 each¹².

Qure's 3-month bundle has one catch. It lists 5 heads for 6 treatments, which is $169 / 5 = $33.80 per head². If you want a fresh head every time, that is the figure to compare.

What's in the box and how is it used?

Qure's 3-month bundle lists "1 × Qure Micro-Infusion Device", "5 × Sterilized Single-Use Micro-Needling Heads" and "6 × Scientifically Formulated 4 ml Serum", sold as 6 treatments². The page does not explain why there is one head fewer. Qure says to start at the centre of the face and work outward with 2 to 3 passes in each area, and a session takes about 5 minutes¹.

Seranova lists one head and one serum vial per session: 2, 4 or 6 of each⁶. Its page says to "attach a new single-use applicator head" each session⁶. You turn the device upside down for 1 to 2 minutes so the serum flows, then press with 50% overlap for 2 to 3 passes. A session takes about 10 minutes⁶.

Both brands say to repeat every 2 weeks (see how often to use micro infusion)^2,6. Qure says to use very gentle pressure and one pass under the eyes and on the lips¹. Seranova says to keep about 3 cm (1.5 inches) from the eyes⁶.

Each brand wants you to use its own serum. Qure says it "can only guarantee the safety, performance and proper serum flow of Qure formulas when used with the device"¹. Seranova's instructions are written for its own vials⁶.

What's in the serums?

Qure's Brightening serum lists tranexamic acid and niacinamide. Its Rejuvenating serum lists beta-glucan, copper tripeptide-1 and sodium hyaluronate¹. Qure calls its formulas fragrance-free¹.

Seranova's standard serum is described as having "hyaluronic acid and collagen peptides"⁶. Seranova says its Pigmentation formula uses tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, bakuchiol and niacinamide¹⁰. Both publish full ingredient lists on their pages^1,6.

What do the studies show?

Qure says a user study of 30 people aged 25 to 65 found that 70% said their fine lines looked smoother, and 93% noticed results the day after their first treatment¹. It also cites a safety evaluation of 31 subjects led by a board-certified dermatologist, with no adverse reactions reported¹. It prints no study ID, and it does not mention a control group¹.

Seranova cites "Study 26/33/AO/V1, 30 subjects" and "Study ST-ET-2025-00029, 30 subjects", plus a survey of 281 repeat customers⁶. It says the survey results are "self-reported and not independently verified"⁶. Its comparison page, dated 21 Sep 2026, describes a 12-week study of 29 subjects with full reports "available on request"¹⁰. The two pages give different study sizes, and none of the studies is published.

No study compares the two systems. A survey without a control group shows what users said, not what the product caused. See micro infusion vs microneedling for what the research does cover.

Subscription, returns and support

Qure. You can return a purchase within 30 days of receiving it, under its 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee⁴. A return fee of "approximately $29 - $49" is deducted, and you pay return shipping⁴. Qure says it does not cover efficacy claims in the first 30 days⁴. Its separate 90-day guarantee asks for before-and-after photos taken after each treatment¹. To cancel a subscription, log in and give 7 days' notice before the next delivery, or the next period is billed⁵.

Seranova. Standard returns need a sealed, unused kit within 30 days of delivery, and original shipping is not refunded⁸. If you used the kit, the separate 90-Day Results Guarantee may apply: it covers your first Seranova order only, with one claim per customer⁹. To change or cancel a subscription, email or call support, or use the subscription portal⁹.

What do buyers say?

Qure. Its micro infusion page shows 4.8 from 1,634 reviews¹. Trustpilot showed 4.5 out of 5 from 1,654 reviews (checked 24 Oct 2026)¹³. The 13 testimonials on its page are all positive and chosen by the brand. Several mention a glow or brighter skin after 2 to 6 treatments¹. We could not read Trustpilot reviews directly, so we report no themes from there.

Seranova. Its page shows 4.8 from 9,208 reviews⁶. Trustpilot showed 4.4 out of 5 from 4,731 reviews (checked 24 Oct 2026)¹⁴. Most of the 40 product-page reviews we read describe smoother skin or softer lines after 2 to 9 months of use. Only two raised a drawback: one called the vials "messy and difficult to open", and one found a session painful⁶. The brand selects its on-site reviews, and its footer says some testimonials may come from customers who got free products or payment⁶.

Safety and regulatory status

We found no FDA 510(k) record for either micro infusion kit when we searched openFDA on 24 Oct 2026¹¹. Qure's FDA record K230042 is for its LED mask, not this kit¹¹. A name search only finds records filed under that name.

Qure says not to use the system when pregnant or nursing, or on irritated or sunburned skin¹. Seranova does not recommend its system for rosacea, eczema or active acne⁶. Ask a dermatologist first if you have a skin condition.

Verdict

Seranova is our recommendation for most first-time buyers. Its $99 entry price is $20 below Qure's, its 3-month kit is slightly cheaper per session, and—most importantly—the box lists a fresh single-use head for every treatment^2,3,6,7. The complete session count, full ingredient lists, two formula choices and straightforward first-order guarantee make it a reassuring way to start^6,9,10.

Qure is the better pure-value choice only if you already know you want 6 months; that larger bundle has the lowest cost per session. Its 3-month box lists 5 heads for 6 treatments, however, and returns deduct about $29 to $49^2,4. Seranova's standard return is for sealed kits, so read the 90-day first-order guarantee before use. On the balance of entry price, completeness and ease of planning, Seranova wins for newcomers while Qure wins for long-term bargain hunters.
