Each device has a different energy delivery method, resulting in slightly different pain sensations. The HIFU method of Ultherapy is known for a pain that feels like a sudden pressure at specific points, while RF devices like Serf and Thermage are often felt as surface heat or tingling. Rather than saying one method is more painful than the other, it's advisable to consult based on your pain sensitivity and desired effects.
