HIFU 10D MPT Hand Rejuvenation in Ho Chi Minh City
Hands often show age before the face does. We take good care of our face, but the back of the hands gets washed many times a day and sits in the sun on every motorbike ride, and few people remember to put cream on it. After 35 or 40, many clients notice the skin on the back of the hand is thinner, it is slow to flatten after a gentle pinch, and fine crepey lines show more.
At Hugo Beauty, hand rejuvenation uses HIFU 10D MPT with shallow cartridges to firm the thin skin on the back of the hands, so they can look smoother and firmer. This page explains what HIFU can and cannot do for your hands, what it costs, and how to book.
How are your hands changing?
Before you choose, it helps to know which part of your hands is changing. Most clients have one or more of these four things:
Thin, less firm skin. When you pinch the back of the hand gently and let go, the skin goes back slowly.
Fine crepey lines. Under the light the skin looks like thin paper, mostly around the knuckles.
Veins and tendons show more. The soft layer under the skin gets thinner, so veins look more visible than before.
Brown spots and uneven color. These come from years of sun, and they are common for people who ride a motorbike every day.
A 10-second check: put your hand flat on a table, pinch the skin on the back of the hand gently, then let go. If it goes back at once, the skin is still firm. If it goes back slowly and leaves a fold, the skin has become thin, and this is the part HIFU can help with.
What HIFU 10D MPT can do for the back of the hands
HIFU sends focused ultrasound through the skin surface and makes small heat points in the dermis. The skin then renews its collagen, so it can become thicker and firmer over time. The skin surface is not broken and there is no wound, so you can use your hands normally after the session.
The skin on the back of the hand is thin, with tendons and bone right below, so we only use shallow cartridges and gentle energy here. When the skin firms up, many clients see smoother hands, softer fine lines, and skin that feels firmer to the touch.
What HIFU cannot do for your hands
We want to be honest so you know what to expect: HIFU does not fade brown spots or age spots, because those are about pigment, not loose skin. HIFU also does not make veins disappear, and it does not replace the soft layer that has become thin under the skin.
The table below helps you check each concern quickly.
| Hand concern | Can HIFU 10D MPT help? | What else to do |
|---|---|---|
| Thin skin, slow to go back after a pinch | Yes, this is what HIFU does best | Use sunscreen on the back of your hands every day to keep the result |
| Fine crepey lines | Can look smoother as the skin firms up | Put on hand cream after each hand wash |
| Visible veins | Does not remove veins | Ask the specialist during the skin check |
| Brown spots, age spots | No | Use sunscreen and gloves when riding; to fade spots, ask a dermatologist |
| Dry, rough skin | Not the main job of HIFU | Moisturize every day |
This table is for a quick self-check. The specialist will look at your hands and explain everything at the consultation.
In short: if your main concern is thin, crepey, less firm skin on the back of the hands, HIFU is a good fit. If your main concern is brown spots or visible veins, HIFU is not the main answer.
What a hand HIFU session looks like
The specialist looks at the back of both hands, does a gentle pinch test, and tells you clearly what HIFU can and cannot do.
You take off rings, watch and bracelets. We clean the skin and mark the area.
HIFU with a shallow cartridge, about 200–250 shots for both hands, going gently on the skin close to tendons and knuckles.
We explain how to care for your hands in the following weeks, so the collagen builds evenly.
One session, including the consultation, takes about 1–1.5 hours.
Does it hurt, and do you need time off?
The skin on the back of the hand is thin and sits close to the bone, so you feel it a little more than on the cheek. Each shot feels like a short hot prickle. The feeling does not stay.
After the session, the skin may be a little red for 1–2 hours, and the back of the hand may feel slightly swollen or numb for a few days. You do not need time off. You can go to work, ride your motorbike and use your phone as usual. For the first few days, wear gloves when you wash dishes and use sunscreen on the back of your hands.
When you will see results
Right after the session and for the first 1–2 weeks, the skin feels slightly tighter as old collagen contracts; the real result builds gradually over the following 8–12 weeks as new collagen forms. The result is clearest at month 2–3, once the new collagen has formed. One session typically holds for 12–18 months and then fades gradually with age and skincare habits.
Everyone responds a bit differently. Skin that is still in good shape usually shows a clearer change than skin that is already very loose.
Who hand HIFU suits
It suits people around 35 to 55 best: the skin on the back of the hand is getting thinner, there are fine crepey lines, and the pinch test shows the skin going back slowly. It also suits people who have done HIFU on the face and now feel their hands look older than their face. Many clients book it in the same session as HIFU neck rejuvenation, because the neck and hands are the two places that show age most. If you want the whole face and neck in one plan, see full-face and neck HIFU.
When to wait
Please wait if the skin on your hands has scratches or a wound, is irritated or peeling, if your hands were just sunburned, or if you are pregnant. If you are breastfeeding, please postpone HIFU until you stop breastfeeding; if you want it earlier, ask your obstetrician first.

Frequently asked questions
01Does hand HIFU fade age spots or brown spots?
No. Brown spots and age spots are about pigment from the sun, while HIFU firms the skin. When the skin on your hands firms up, it can look smoother, but the spots will still be there. To fade spots, please ask a dermatologist.
02Will HIFU make the veins on the back of my hands less visible?
It will not make veins disappear. Veins usually show more because the soft layer under the skin gets thinner, and HIFU does not replace that layer. As the skin gets firmer, the back of the hand can look a little neater, but the veins will still be there.
03Can I wash dishes and do housework after hand HIFU?
Yes, you do not need time off. For the first few days, wear gloves when you use dish soap or strong cleaners, put on hand cream after washing your hands, and use sunscreen on the back of your hands when you go out.
04How many sessions does hand rejuvenation with HIFU need?
HIFU is usually one session, maintained every 12–18 months. One session typically holds for 12–18 months and then fades gradually with age and skincare habits.
05How much does hand HIFU cost?
Hand rejuvenation at Hugo Beauty is 1,000,000–1,500,000 VND for 200–250 shots (both hands). The number of shots depends on the size of your hands and how firm the skin is; the specialist checks your hands and tells you the price before starting.
