A client in Phoenix told me my extractions were too fast and it made her skin flare up for days.
She said I was rushing through the congested areas on her cheeks and not letting the steam really open things up first. I started adding a full 10 minutes of steam time before I even touch a tool, and I do a second pass with a warm towel halfway through. Her skin looked so much calmer at her follow up. How do you guys pace a tough extraction session without making the client uncomfortable?

My first extraction client ever told me I had the "nervous energy of a squirrel on espresso." I learned the hard way that slow, steady pressure beats frantic speed every time. Now I set a timer for myself between zones to force a slower pace.

Read a blog once that called it "therapeutic tempo." Basically matching your speed to the client's breathing helps a lot. It forces you to slow down and stops you from rushing the work.
