A method of masking pain resulting from a lancing system can include moving a first portion and a second portion of a lancing assembly in a first direction, stopping the first portion of the lancing assembly from further moving in the first direction, thereby causing a first vibration, allowing the first portion to move in a second direction while the second portion continues moving in the first direction, and lancing a surface with the first portion while the first vibration is occurring. A system for lancing a surface and masking resulting pain may include a device body having an end adapted to sealingly engage the surface, means for creating a first portion of a vacuum, means for causing a vibration, and a lancing mechanism coupled to the body and adapted to lance the surface while the first portion of the vacuum and the vibration are acting on the surface.
