I read a study showing 40% of clients think extractions are the most painful part of a facial, which seems wild because I always thought it was the high-frequency wand.

I found that stat in a survey from the Aesthetic Industry Report last quarter, so do you think that means we should be adjusting our pain management talk more toward the extraction step?

Totally agree, that extraction pinch catches me off guard way more than the wand zap ever does.

Could it be that the high-frequency wand feels more like a weird buzz, so the real pinch from extractions is just more of a surprise?

Honestly that sounds like people just talking themselves into it. If you make a big deal about the pain before you even start, of course they're gonna focus on it. Maybe just keep the whole process chill instead of singling out steps.
