What is Ultherapy Prime?
Ultherapy Prime, also known as Ulthera, is a non-invasive skin lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep under the skin.
Unlike HIFU (a cheaper copycat), Ultherapy is FDA-approved and clinically proven for face and neck lifting.
At RJ Clinic, we use the authentic Ulthera device, ensuring safety, precision, and long-lasting results.
Real Ultherapy, Not HIFU
Ultherapy targets the deep foundational layers of your skin (up to 4.5mm) – the same layer addressed in facelift surgeries. Using real-time ultrasound guidance, doctors visualize and deliver energy precisely to where collagen-building is needed most.
After treatment, your body naturally regenerates collagen over 3–6 months, giving you a tighter, lifted appearance that continues to improve.
Patients who want immediate contour changes may consider chin fillers or nose fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Ultherapy Prime and HIFU in Malaysia?
Ultherapy Prime is FDA-approved and uses real-time ultrasound imaging (DEEPsee™) to deliver precise energy at specific skin depths. It's performed by certified medical doctors and usually requires just one session per year. In contrast, HIFU treatments in Malaysia are often carried out in beauty salons using uncertified machines, which have no imaging and higher risk of burns. Multiple sessions are typically needed, and results are short-lived.
How does Ultherapy Prime compare with laser resurfacing?
Ultherapy Prime lifts and tightens deeper layers of skin, mimicking the effects of a surgical facelift by stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. Laser resurfacing, however, works on the skin’s surface to improve tone, texture, pigmentation, and wrinkles. Ultherapy is better for lifting; laser is better for refining skin quality. They can complement each other if done at different times.
Is Ultherapy Prime better than Thermage?
Yes. While both treatments are non-surgical and aim to tighten the skin, Ultherapy Prime uses micro-focused ultrasound to reach the SMAS layer — the same layer treated in facelift surgery. Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) and works on more superficial layers. Ultherapy is more targeted and longer-lasting, especially for sagging skin and deeper facial structures.
How much does Ultherapy Prime cost in Malaysia?
The price of Ultherapy Prime in Malaysia depends on the treatment area:
-
Full face: RM6000+
-
Specific areas (upper face, neck): from RM2,800
-
One session typically lasts up to 18 months
RJ Clinic offers personalized consultation to assess your skin and provide an exact quote based on your needs.
Is Ultherapy Prime the same as HIFU?
No. Ultherapy Prime is the original Ulthera system, FDA-approved with real-time imaging. HIFU is a cheaper alternative but not as precise or long-lasting.
How long do results last?
12–18 months depending on collagen turnover.
Is Ultherapy painful?
Mild heat sensation. Numbing is used.
Which areas can Ultherapy treat?
Full face, jawline, chin, neck, and brow lifting.
