If you just apply the device to your face without preparation, you can get bruises or irritation instead of the desired smoothness and glow. In this article, we will detail how to use a Xiaomi vacuum plug so that the procedure is not only effective, but also completely safe for your skin.

We'll look at all the steps from unpacking and charging to selecting modes and then caring for the device. You'll learn about the intricacies of adjusting the suction power and understand which nozzles are best used for different areas of the face. The attention to detail in this guide will help you avoid common mistakes and get the most out of the gadget.

Acquaintance with the device and configuration

The first step before starting operation is to carefully study the configuration of your device. Usually in the box with a vacuum plug Xiaomi InFace or similar models is the device itself, several interchangeable nozzles of different diameters, USB-Charging cable and instructions: the nozzles are shaped differently: narrow is designed to work with problem areas, wide is used to treat large areas of skin, and flat is used for lymphatic drainage massage.

The body of the device is usually made of matte plastic, pleasant to the touch and resistant to moisture, although it is not recommended to immerse it in water. On the front panel there is a working end where the nozzles are attached, and on the front side there are touch buttons and indicators. Touch control allows you to easily switch between modes, even if the hands are wet, which often happens during cosmetic procedures.

It's important to look at charge and mode indicators, which usually come in different colors. Green can mean low power, yellow can mean medium, and red can mean maximum suction intensity. Understanding the color indication will help you navigate your settings quickly without interrupting your self-care process.

⚠️ Warning: Before first use, be sure to wipe all nozzles and the working surface of the device with an alcohol solution or chlorhexidine for disinfection, even if they are in factory packaging.

Some models may have additional features, such as photon therapy (light radiation of different spectra) or ultrasonic vibration. These functions are activated by separate buttons or combinations of presses. In models with photon therapy, red light stimulates collagen production, blue fights bacteria, and yellow improves lymphatic drainage. Make sure you know exactly the model of your device, as the functionality may differ.

Preparation for the procedure: steaming and cleaning

The effectiveness of vacuum cleaning depends on the quality of pre-treatment of the skin. Dry and closed pores are extremely difficult to clean even with a powerful vacuum, so the steaming stage is critical. You can take a hot shower, make a steam bath over an herbal broth or simply apply a warm wet towel to your face for 10-15 minutes. The heat helps to expand the pores and soften the sebaceous corks.

After steaming, you need to thoroughly clean the face of residues of cosmetics, skin fat and contaminants. Use a familiar gel or foam to wash, carefully massaging the skin with circular movements. Clean skin is the guarantee that the vacuum will act directly on the contents of the pores, rather than pulling on the surface the residues of cosmetics, which can lead to their penetration deeper.

To enhance the effect, you can apply a special lotion to the skin to open the pores or simply use warm water. Some users prefer to apply a thin layer of hydrogel mask or a special conductor gel to improve the slip of the nozzle. However, the classic instruction recommends working on wet, but not slippery from oils skin.

If you have sensitive skin, it is better to reduce the steaming time so as not to cause excessive redness, and avoid using scrubs with large abrasive particles immediately before vacuum cleaning, as this can injure the softened epidermis. Gentle preparation is the key to a successful procedure without negative consequences.
