Ultherapy Prime vs Virtue RF: Which Fits You?
If you are deciding between Ultherapy PRIME庐 and Virtue RF, the best choice depends on what is causing your aging concern. In our clinic, we generally consider Ultherapy PRIME庐 for lifting and deeper skin laxity, while Virtue RF is often more suitable for skin texture, pores, acne scars, and mild-to-moderate tightening.
At SHEEN CLINIC SDN BHD in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, we do not choose devices based on trends. We assess whether your concern is driven by skin laxity, collagen loss, fat, scarring, or a combination, then recommend the most appropriate plan for natural-looking results.
What is the main difference between Ultherapy PRIME庐 and Virtue RF?
Definition: Ultherapy PRIME庐 is an ultrasound-based lifting treatment, while Virtue RF is an RF microneedling treatment that targets skin remodeling.
- Ultherapy PRIME庐: Commonly chosen when the priority is lifting, tightening, and addressing deeper structural laxity.
- Virtue RF: Commonly chosen when the priority is improving pores, acne scars, fine lines, texture, and overall skin quality with added tightening.
If you are mainly worried about a softer jawline or early sagging, deeper lifting may matter more. If your concern is rough texture, enlarged pores, post-acne changes, or crepey skin, RF microneedling may be the better fit.
How do we decide which treatment fits your face?
We follow our own protocol: see, plan, and treat. That means we first identify the true cause of the concern before selecting technology.
For example, some jowling is caused by fat, while some is caused by skin laxity. These are not the same problem, so they should not automatically receive the same treatment. Where clinically appropriate, we use facial ultrasound to help us identify the issue more precisely and plan for the best outcome.
Who may be more suitable for Ultherapy PRIME庐?
- You are noticing skin laxity along the cheeks, jawline, or lower face
- You want a non-surgical lifting-focused option
- Your main concern is firmness rather than acne scars or pores
- You prefer a treatment plan built around deeper support

Who may be more suitable for Virtue RF?
- You have acne scars, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture
- You want collagen stimulation with skin resurfacing benefits
- You have mild skin laxity together with surface-level aging concerns
- You want a treatment that can support tightening while improving skin quality
We have also successfully treated PCL granuloma and followed up with Virtue RF to tighten the face when clinically appropriate. This reflects how we personalize treatment sequencing rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Can Ultherapy PRIME庐 and Virtue RF be combined?
Yes, in selected cases, combination treatment may be appropriate because lifting and skin remodeling are different goals. One treatment may address deeper laxity, while the other improves surface quality and collagen response.
This is similar to how we personalize other collagen and scar strategies, as explained in our articles on how we choose acne scar treatments in Subang Jaya, why acne scar treatment must be personalized, and Sculptra treatment in Klang Valley Malaysia.
Why do patients choose us for treatment planning?
Patients choose us because we combine medical aesthetics with precision diagnostics and personalized care. SHEEN CLINIC SDN BHD is led by Dr. Doris Lee, an LCP-certified aesthetic doctor and medical trainer with more than 12 years of clinical experience. Across our clinic, we have treated over 5,000 patients with evidence-based, individualized plans.
We believe the right treatment starts with understanding the cause of aging changes, not just the visible symptom.
Which treatment should you choose?
You should choose the treatment that matches your diagnosis, not just your preference. If your concern is lifting, Ultherapy PRIME庐 may be more suitable. If your concern is texture, scars, pores, and collagen remodeling with tightening, Virtue RF may be a better fit. If you have multiple concerns, a staged combination plan may be best.
If you are unsure which option suits you, we invite you to visit us for a personalized consultation in Subang Jaya. We will assess your skin, facial structure, and aging pattern, and where clinically appropriate, use ultrasound assessment to help plan a safer and more precise treatment journey.
