Quick answer
Turn the device off, remove the old head with a gentle twist, drop in a fresh 11mm cotton filter, and click the new head into place before switching on. Replace the filter after every use and swap the massage head when it looks worn or no longer sits flush. If the head resists, stop and check the alignment rather than forcing it.
Why the filter and head are two separate jobs
The Reinvo facial microdermabrasion wand uses diamond-encrusted tips to slough away dead skin, and a small cotton filter sits behind the treatment head to catch the debris that comes off. The filter is a consumable that should be replaced after every use; the head itself lasts longer but can be swapped when you want a different attachment or a fresh massage head. Treating them as one maintenance task is the most common reason people either clog the airflow or damage the head fitting.
What you need before you start
Set out your replacement filter, the new head or attachment, and a clean towel. Work over a surface where a dropped filter is easy to find, because the 11mm rounds are small and light. Have the device switched off and unplugged or removed from its charging base so there is no chance of it starting mid-swap.
Step-by-step: changing the head and filter
- Power down and remove the old head: Switch the Reinvo wand off and disconnect it from power. Hold the head firmly and twist it gently in the direction it releases. Do not pull straight out, because the fitting is designed to turn, not to be yanked. If the head will not turn, stop and check for dried residue around the collar before trying again.
- Take out the used cotton filter: Lift the old 11mm round out of its seat with clean tweezers or your fingertips. Look at it before you discard it: a filter that is visibly soiled or flattened confirms it was due for a change. Never rinse and reuse a cotton filter; it is a single-use part.
- Seat a fresh 11mm filter: Drop a new cotton round into the empty seat and press it flat so it sits level with the rim. A filter that is tilted or doubled up will block airflow and make the treatment feel weaker. One filter per session is the simplest rule to remember.
- Fit the replacement head or attachment: Line up the new head with the collar and twist until it seats with light resistance. The massage head is lightweight and should sit flush without wobbling. Do not over-tighten. Give the head a gentle tug; if it moves, reseat it before use.
- Test before you treat your face: Switch the device on at the lowest intensity and let it run for a few seconds away from your face. Listen for a smooth motor sound and check that the head spins or vibrates as expected. If anything rattles or stalls, power down and repeat the seating step.
- Clean and store after the session: Remove the head, discard the used filter, and wipe the head and collar with a dry or barely damp cloth. Let everything air-dry fully before storing. Keep spare filters in their pack, away from moisture. A dry device and a fresh filter are the two habits that prevent most maintenance problems.
