Xiaomi’s Derma Blender: How to Turn on and Configure Your Device

What is Derma Blender and why is it needed?

Xiaomi Derma Blender is a compact facial skin care device that combines vibration massage and microcurrent therapy. Unlike classic massagers, it is equipped with removable medical silicone nozzles that mimic professional manual techniques. The main purpose of the gadget is to improve blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, reduce swelling and increase skin tone.

Many users have difficulty turning on the device for the first time: it does not respond to buttons, does not charge or flashes an error indicator. Most often, the problem lies in the wrong sequence of actions or ignorance of the features of control. In this article, we will analyze all the nuances from unpacking to choosing the optimal mode of operation.

Preparation for the first inclusion: what to check

Before you turn on the Derma Blender, make sure the device is fully charged. The USB-C cable is included in the package, but the power supply will have to use your own (any one with 5V/1A or 5V/2A output will do). Charging takes about 2 hours - the indicator on the case should burn red during the process and green after completion.

Also check:

• 🔋 The state of contacts of the nozzle and base - they must be clean, without oxidation.
• 💧 No moisture in the charging connector (if the device was stored in a wet room).
• 📦 Completeness: the box should have 2 nozzles (for face and body), cable USB-C And the instruction in Chinese.

⚠️ Note: Do not use the device immediately after unpacking if it has been stored at a lower temperature. +5°C. Let it heat up to room temperature for 1-2 hours – this will prevent battery failures.

Step-by-step: how to turn on Derma Blender

The process depends on the device model. There are two versions available at the moment: the Xiaomi Derma Blender 1S (with a touch button) and the Derma Blender Pro (with a mechanical switch).

Model 1S (Touch Button)

1. Make sure the nozzle is tightly attached to the base (the click should be heard).
2. Briefly touch the touch button on the body - the device will emit an audio signal and begin to vibrate.
3. To switch modes, hold the 2 second button until the indicator changes color: 🔵 Blue – soft mode (6000 vibrations / min). 🟢 Green – medium mode (8,500 vibrations/min). 🔴 Red – Intensive mode (10 000 oscillations / min).

To turn off, briefly touch the button again.

Model Pro (mechanical switch)

This version has a physical button and has three positions:

• 🔘 Left - soft mode (blue indicator).
• 🔘 In the center - medium mode (green indicator).
• 🔘 Right – Intensive mode (red indicator).

To turn on, move the switch to any position other than the central (neutral) position.

Table: Working hours and their purpose

If the indicator flashes red, try the following:

1. Unplug and re-fix the nozzle.
2. Connect the device to charge for 10-15 minutes.
3. Allow the device to cool if it has been used for more than 10 minutes in a row.

💡

To enhance the effect, apply a few drops of oil or serum to the skin before the massage. Silicone nozzle does not absorb liquids, so their consumption will be minimal.

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Many users complain that Derma Blender is not turned on or is intermittent, and in 90% of cases, the problem is solved by simple actions:

⚠️ Warning: If the device has fallen into water or has been exposed to extreme humidity (e.g. used in the bathroom), do not turn it on until completely drying (minimum 48 hours.

Let's look at typical situations:

• 🔌 Refrain from button: Check charge (connect to network for 30 minutes) Make sure nozzle is set correctly - contacts must match. Reset settings by holding the 10 second button (up to double signal).
• 🔥 Overheating: Use the device for no longer than 10 minutes per session. Don't cover it with a towel while working. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
• 🔊 Weak vibration: Switch to higher mode (green or red). Clean the nozzle contacts with an alcohol napkin. Check if the silicone membrane is worn out (lifespan is 6-12 months).

How to care for the device: extend the service life

With proper care, the Xiaomi Derma Blender will last 2-3 years without losing efficiency.

• 🧼 Clean: After each use, wipe the nozzle with a wet wipe with an antiseptic. Wash it once a week with warm water and soap, then dry it in the air. Don't use abrasives - they will damage the silicone.
• 🔋 Battery: Charge your device up to 100% every 2-3 months, even if you don’t use it. Avoid full discharge – connect to the network at a charge level of 20-30%.
• 📦 Storage: Keep the device in a case (comes with a package) or original box. Avoid temperatures below 0°C and above. +40°C.

Silicone nozzles lose elasticity over time. Replace them if you notice:

• Cracks or ruptures on the surface.
• Reduce the vibration amplitude in the same mode.
• The appearance of an unpleasant smell (a signal about the reproduction of bacteria).

💡

Use Derma Blender only on clean, dry skin. Cosmetic products (creams, oils) apply after the massage, and not before it - this will prevent clogging of pores.

Compatible with Mi Home: Do I need to connect?

Officially, Derma Blender does not support connecting to the Mi Home or Xiaomi Wear app. It is a standalone device that does not require syncing with a smartphone. However, some users try to integrate it into the smart home ecosystem through third-party firmware – this is dangerous and can lead to:

• Lose the warranty.
• Engine malfunction.
• Reflashing the controller with loss of functionality.

If you need to track usage statistics, use alternative methods:

• 📅 Keep a diary of procedures in the notes of the smartphone.
• ⏱️ Use a timer on your phone to monitor the duration of your sessions.
• 📊 Install a third-party skin care app (like SkinVision or Fabulous).
