BEHAP / SKINBOOSTER
More care in how your chosen skinbooster is delivered.
Ask about the HYCOOX programmeIf you already have a skinbooster in mind, ask about having it injected with the HYCOOX programme. The doctor uses a multi-needle head, with several needles in a single unit, to distribute the injectable across the selected area. The number of shots, injection speed and suction can be adjusted. [1]
Before treatment, the doctor considers the product and treatment area to choose an appropriate injection method. The device helps control product release; the doctor determines the positions and places the injection head. [1]
Adding the HYCOOX programme costs THB 2,000 per session on top of the regular injectable price. The injectable volume follows the product programme you choose. The service is available at both BEHAP branches.

9 NEEDLES / MULTI-NEEDLE
Calculation example
Choose a shot count to see the calculation. The actual number of shots depends on the doctor's assessment.
At BEHAP, a full-face treatment typically uses around 100 shots with a 9-needle head. That adds up to approximately 900 needle punctures, as all 9 needles work with each shot. [7]
The doctor may increase or decrease the shot count according to the assessment and injection plan. This figure counts total needle punctures, so positions may overlap. It does not mean placing the head on the skin just once. The injectable volume remains that of your chosen product programme.
02 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
Once the skinbooster volume has been established, the doctor still needs to choose the injection positions, divide the volume per point and set the spacing between points, so the prepared product is used across the intended treatment area.
Injection precision means delivering the product to the planned position and in the planned volume. Distribution means arranging injection points to cover the treatment area. For example, the NCTF 135HA study specifies the skin layer, volume per point and spacing between points. [4]
The HYCOOX programme's multi-needle head lets the doctor inject a group of points at a time, then move the head across the planned area. It is one method of distributing injections across an area. [1]
THE TECHNOLOGY / NOBAMEDI
A 9-needle injection head with skin suction,
plus adjustable volume and injection speed
MULTI-NEEDLE
With each shot, the product passes through 9 needles arranged in a single head, creating a group of 9 injection points. The doctor moves the head across the planned area, setting the spacing between groups and dividing the volume to suit that area.
ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
The doctor sets the number of shots according to the injectable volume, and adjusts the device's speed and suction. The injection head and target skin layer must be selected for the product and area being treated. Adjusting speed or suction does not set the needle depth.
AUTO-SENSING
In auto-sensing mode, suction draws the skin into contact with the injection head. Once the device detects its operating conditions, injection begins without the doctor pressing the switch each time. The doctor still determines the depth by selecting a needle length appropriate to the product and injection area. With a head that allows needle extension to be adjusted, the doctor sets that extension before injection and positions the head using the appropriate technique. Auto-sensing does not measure skin layers or choose the needle extension itself. [1][14]
A CLOSER LOOK
One shot delivers the product through 9 needles, creating 9 needle punctures. Around 100 shots per face therefore add up to approximately 900 needle punctures. The doctor adjusts the shot count up or down following the assessment.
This counts total needle punctures; positions may overlap. The injectable volume remains that of your chosen programme.
View the manufacturer's injection-head details ↗DOSE & INJECTION SETTINGS
Skinbooster formulations differ in viscosity, volume and treatment area. Before starting the HYCOOX programme, the doctor therefore plans how many shots to divide the injectable into, and adjusts the injection speed for that treatment.
Once the injectable volume and shot count are set, the device divides the product according to those settings. For example, 3 mL divided into 100 shots gives an average of 0.03 mL per shot. The doctor can therefore plan the number of shots alongside the prepared injectable volume.
This is a calculation per shot, not per needle, and is not a prescribed volume for everyone. The calculation does not tell us how much product actually enters the skin.
After each shot, residual pressure in the syringe may push more product out. The manufacturer explains that the Viscosity Level setting adjusts operation to suit the product's viscosity, reducing leakage caused by this residual pressure.
The speed of product release and the interval before the next shot are separate settings, and both can be adjusted. The manufacturer states that faster product release may cause more pain. The doctor therefore considers adjusting the release speed to help reduce discomfort during injection.
Auto-sensing starts injection when the suction system detects skin contact under the device's operating conditions. Manual Shot mode waits for the doctor to press the switch before releasing product. The doctor can therefore choose between automatic initiation and starting each shot individually.
Based on NOBAMEDI's description of device operation. This explains device features; it is not a comparative treatment study. Read the manufacturer's information [13]
INJECTION DEPTH & DOSE / Skin layer and volume
Skin thickness differs between facial areas and between individuals. To reach the intended layer, the doctor must first assess the skin in that area, then determine the depth and select an appropriate injection head. [15]
An injection plan considers both the position on the face and the skin layer where the product will be placed. Some formulations specify intradermal injection; others specify the mid dermis. The doctor needs to review that formulation's instructions before choosing the needle and injection method. The group name HA or PN alone does not establish the injection depth.
| Product examples | Skin layer in the product documentation | Formulation-specific details |
|---|---|---|
| SKINVIVE programme | Intradermal | Small droplets are injected to improve cheek skin smoothness. The documentation does not specify one numerical depth for every position. [5] |
| Restylane Vital Light programme | Mid dermis | The Lidocaine version specifies the mid dermis as the injection plane. [9] |
| PLINEST programme | Intradermal | The manufacturer specifies intradermal injection of PN-HPT gel, without giving a depth in millimetres in this document. [11] |
For example, a study of NCTF 135HA compared intradermal injection using Nanosoft with 0.6 mm needles and a conventional 4 mm needle. Both methods used 0.05 mL per point under the study protocol. These numbers describe different things: 0.6 and 4 mm are needle lengths; 0.05 mL is the volume per point. Using a 4 mm needle does not mean inserting its full length. [12]
The study used devices other than HYCOOX. Its figures illustrate the distinction between needle length and injectable volume; they are not settings for the HYCOOX programme.
03 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
BEHAP offers injectable groups including NCTF, HA for skin quality, and PN/PDRN. The doctor considers which formulation suits your skin concerns and checks whether it can be used with the HYCOOX programme.
NCTF stands for New Cellular Treatment Factor, a formulation name from FILLMED. For example, NCTF 135HA contains non-cross-linked HA at 5 mg/mL, together with vitamins, amino acids, minerals, coenzymes and other ingredients. It therefore differs from formulations in which HA is the only main ingredient group. [8]
For those concerned about dehydrated skin, fine lines or dullness, a study of NCTF 135HA found increased hydration after the injection course, alongside improvements in fine lines and facial radiance scores compared with cream alone. These findings relate specifically to NCTF 135HA, so the exact formulation on the product label matters when choosing an NCTF programme. [4]
HA, or hyaluronic acid, binds water. In injectable formulations for skin quality, it is used to address hydration and skin appearance according to each formulation's properties. Examples available for consideration at BEHAP include the SKINVIVE programme and Restylane Vital Light programme
SKINVIVE programme uses a cross-linked HA gel, with evidence for intradermal injection to improve cheek skin smoothness. The Restylane Vital Light programme uses stabilized HA. The manufacturer's documentation for the Lidocaine version describes improving skin elasticity in the lower cheeks, jawline and upper neck. The two formulations therefore have evidence supporting benefits in different areas. [5][9]
The term “small molecule” alone does not fully describe these two formulations: gel characteristics and technology also matter when selecting a product. The M-HA10 study discussed below concerns a different HA formulation, so its results do not stand in for those of the SKINVIVE or Restylane Vital Light programmes. [2][5][9]
PN stands for polynucleotide: a molecular chain made up of nucleotide units. These products contain purified DNA fragments as components of an injectable gel for skin quality. Examples available for consideration at BEHAP include the VITARAN programme and PLINEST programme [10][11]
The HP VITARAN manufacturer describes benefits for skin hydration, softness, elasticity and firmness. PLINEST is a PN-HPT gel for intradermal injection. A separate PN study in 27 participants examined the area around the eyes and found improvements in some measures of skin roughness and pore volume. It used another PN formulation and does not directly confirm the results of the VITARAN or PLINEST programmes. [3][10][11]
Choosing PN therefore starts with your skin concerns and treatment area, followed by the formulation, concentration and product-specific evidence. PDRN needs to be considered separately from PN; the two names are not interchangeable when citing results.
Products must be intended for injection and checked for compatibility with the device. Simply containing HA, PN or vitamins does not mean a product can be injected. If your main concerns are deep acne scars, deep creases or laxity, assessment helps distinguish the treatments suited to those concerns from skin-quality care.
These studies examined the benefits of the specified injectables and formulations. They did not test how much adding the HYCOOX programme improves results over manual injection.
04 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
The THB 2,000 add-on covers injection with the HYCOOX programme alongside your chosen skinbooster. The doctor first considers whether the product and treatment area are suitable for device-assisted injection.
Total cost = the regular price of your chosen injectable programme + THB 2,000
The injectable volume is the volume included in your chosen product programme. The add-on does not include extra product. Available at both BEHAP branches.
Tell us which skinbooster interests you to ask about the total cost before booking.
Skinboosters are injections for skin quality, with a range of products to choose from. The HYCOOX programme is a device-assisted injection method. The injectable should therefore be chosen for your skin concerns first, before considering how it will be injected.
The HYCOOX programme offers advantages for skinbooster injections that need product distributed across a planned area. Its 9-needle head delivers product to several points with each shot. Settings for volume per shot, speed and suction help the doctor control a series of injections systematically at the selected settings. For pain, the manufacturer states that the multi-needle head combined with suction helps reduce discomfort during injection. The doctor can also adjust delivery speed to make treatment more comfortable. [1][13]
Some injections still require the doctor's specific techniques for selecting the position, skin layer and product placement. The HYCOOX programme cannot replace manual injection for every procedure. Before choosing a programme, consult BEHAP so the doctor can assess the product, treatment area and injection method appropriate for you.
Treatment begins with a skin assessment and a discussion of your health history, followed by selection of the product and treatment area. The skin is then prepared and appropriate pain-reduction methods considered. The HYCOOX programme still uses needles to introduce product into the skin, so discomfort is possible even with automatic injection.
Needle marks, raised bumps, redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness may follow treatment. Some effects can last several days, and longer for some people. Allow time for these marks if you have an important event or travel plans. Immediate fullness cannot yet be used to judge the result, because swelling may still be present. [5][6]
The number of sessions and follow-up schedule depend on the product, skin concerns and response to treatment. The HYCOOX programme does not have a separate course length independent of the injectable. How long results last needs evidence for that product.
For example, the M-HA10 study assessed results after 3 sessions. The periocular PN study used 3 sessions, 2 weeks apart. These are the protocols of the individual studies, not one schedule for every HYCOOX programme. [2][3]
06 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
Contact BEHAP with the skinbooster you are interested in or the skin concerns you want to address. The team will explain programme options and costs before booking. You can give your preferred branch and available dates in the same enquiry.
If you have had injections or other procedures before, prepare the product names and treatment dates for the assessment. If you have an important event or travel plans, tell the team before booking so you can allow time for swelling, bruising or post-injection bumps.
07 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
Further assessment is needed if the intended injection area has active inflammatory acne, a rash, a wound or an infection; if you have been allergic to the product; or if you have had an unusual reaction after an injection. This also applies if an important event is close to your treatment date and you cannot accommodate swelling, bruising or bumps afterwards.
Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an underlying medical condition, take immunosuppressants or medicines that affect blood clotting, or have had procedures in the same area. The doctor will check the contraindications of the product to be used. Do not stop your regular medication yourself. [5]
If dry skin is accompanied by a rash, burning or itching, or your main concerns are inflammatory acne, melasma, acne scars or skin laxity, the cause and appropriate treatment options should be assessed before choosing an injectable programme.
08 / HYCOOX PROGRAM
Injections carry risks of infection, allergy and inflammatory lumps. Dermal fillers also carry a risk of injection into a blood vessel, which can damage tissue or affect vision, although this is uncommon. Before treatment, you therefore need to understand the risks of the product and injection method being used. [5]
Contact the doctor immediately if you have unusual or increasing pain, or unusually pale or darkened skin. If you develop changes in vision, facial drooping, weakness in an arm or leg, or sudden slurred speech, go to an emergency department immediately and also inform the injecting doctor. Do not wait to see whether symptoms improve. Spreading redness, hot skin, pus or fever requires prompt medical assessment. [6]
QUESTIONS / HYCOOX PROGRAMME

No questions match your search. Try another term or select All questions.
The HYCOOX programme is a device-assisted injection method with a multi-needle head. Skinboosters are a group of injections for skin quality. Choose the product for your skin concerns first, then an injection method suited to that product and area. [1]
Several needles are housed in one injection head. When the head is positioned and injection starts, a group of injection points is created. The doctor moves the head across the planned area and adjusts the shot count, speed and suction. [1]
BEHAP typically uses around 100 shots per face with a 9-needle head, adding up to approximately 900 needle punctures. The doctor may adjust the shot count up or down following the assessment. This counts total needle punctures, not 900 separate, non-overlapping positions. [7]
No. Approximately 900 punctures come from around 100 shots with a 9-needle head, not one placement of the head. It also does not mean that everyone receives the same number. [7]
Not necessarily. A face typically uses around 100 shots, but the doctor may increase or decrease the count according to the individual's assessment and injection plan.
Needle count describes the injection head; it does not tell us how many times results increase. Benefits for hydration, texture or wrinkles need to be considered in relation to the product, volume and treatment plan.
With BEHAP's HYCOOX add-on, the injectable volume remains that of your chosen product programme. Dividing it across more injection points does not mean receiving additional product.
The HYCOOX programme offers advantages for skinbooster injections that need product distributed across a planned area. Its 9-needle head delivers product to several points with each shot. Settings for volume per shot, speed and suction help the doctor control a series of injections systematically at the selected settings. For pain, the manufacturer states that the multi-needle head combined with suction helps reduce discomfort during injection. The doctor can also adjust delivery speed to make treatment more comfortable. [1][13]
Some injections still require the doctor's specific techniques for selecting the position, skin layer and product placement. The HYCOOX programme cannot replace manual injection for every procedure. Before choosing a programme, consult BEHAP so the doctor can assess the product, treatment area and injection method appropriate for you.
No. Auto-sensing starts injection once suction brings the skin into contact with the head under the device's operating conditions. It does not detect which skin layer contains the needle tip. The doctor still determines injection depth by choosing a needle length appropriate to the product and area. With an adjustable-extension head, the doctor sets the needle extension before injection and positions the head using the appropriate technique. [1][7][14]
Once the injectable volume is known, the doctor can choose how many shots to divide it into. For example, 3 mL divided into 100 shots gives an average of 0.03 mL per shot. This is a calculation per shot, not per needle, and does not measure the volume that actually enters the skin. [13]
It does not change the viscosity or formulation of the product. It adjusts device operation to suit the product being used. The manufacturer explains that residual syringe pressure may push product out after a shot ends; this setting is intended to reduce leakage caused by that pressure. [13]
The device offers both auto-sensing and Manual Shot mode, which is started with a switch. The doctor can therefore select the control method appropriate to the procedure. [13]
Options include NCTF and HA for skin quality, such as the SKINVIVE and Restylane Vital Light programmes, as well as PN, including the VITARAN and PLINEST programmes. The formulation and treatment area both need to be considered when choosing the injection method.
Studies of NCTF 135HA found effects on fine lines, radiance and hydration at the specified assessment times. This is evidence for that formulation, not a test of the HYCOOX device. The exact formulation selected needs to be checked. [4]
Evidence needs to be considered separately for each product. The cited periocular PN study found improvements in some measures of skin roughness and pore volume; it does not confirm the results of PDRN. [3]
The cited PN study reports certain measures around the eyes; it does not establish effects on pores in every area. Deep acne scars, deep creases and laxity need assessment separately from skin-quality care. [3]
This depends on the product and treatment plan. For example, the M-HA10 study assessed results 10 days after the final injection in a 3-session course. That assessment time is not the day everyone begins to see results, nor does it establish that results last for months. Immediate fullness may also include swelling. [2]
Session numbers depend on the product, skin concerns and response. The HYCOOX programme has no course length separate from the injectable. For example, the PN study used 3 sessions, 2 weeks apart. This is a study protocol, not one schedule for every product. [3]
Skin thickness differs between areas and individuals. Selecting the depth therefore requires the doctor's expertise in assessing the intended injection area, alongside the product instructions, before choosing the injection head and needle extension. [15]
For example, the Lidocaine version of Restylane Vital Light specifies the mid dermis; the SKINVIVE and PLINEST programmes specify intradermal injection. These documents do not give one depth in millimetres for every position, so they need to be considered alongside each individual's skin assessment. [5][9][11]
The add-on is THB 2,000 per session on top of the regular injectable price of the selected programme. The total is therefore that programme's injectable price plus THB 2,000.
It does not include extra product. The injectable volume follows your chosen product programme. Tell us which product interests you to ask about the total price and volume before booking.
Compare the same product, volume, injection area and number of sessions. Ask which doctor's fees and services are included, whether there are any additional charges, and what conditions apply if assessment finds injection unsuitable.
It is available at both BEHAP branches. Tell BEHAP your preferred branch and the skinbooster you are interested in to ask about the programme and appointment dates.
Prepare your skin concerns and when you first noticed them, current skincare, allergies, regular medication, and the names and dates of previous products or procedures. Mention important events or travel plans so time can be allowed for post-injection marks.
Yes. Needles are still used to introduce product into the skin. Appropriate pain-reduction methods will be considered for the area and product before treatment. Automatic injection does not mean pain-free injection.
Areas with inflammatory acne, a rash, a wound or infection need assessment before injection. The same applies if you have had an allergy to the product or an unusual reaction after a previous injection. [5]
Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, underlying conditions, immunosuppressants, medicines affecting blood clotting and previous procedures, so the actual product's contraindications can be assessed. Do not stop your regular medication yourself. [5]
Contact the doctor immediately for unusual pain or unusually pale or darkened skin. If you develop changes in vision, facial drooping, weakness in an arm or leg, or sudden slurred speech, go to an emergency department immediately and inform the injecting doctor. Spreading redness, hot skin, pus or fever requires prompt medical assessment. [6]

The Hycoox device, or Hycoox injector, belongs to a technology category known as multiple injectors: injection-assistance devices from Korea, the origin of dewy, glowing-skin injections. Hycoox is designed to help doctors inject skin-brightening mesotherapy products evenly and precisely into the appropriate skin layer.
Skin-brightening mesotherapy products are generally designed for a particular skin layer. Skin boosters such as Rejuran, Chanel, PDRN and STEM CELLS, in particular, often need to be distributed across the face in superficial skin. Manual injection may sometimes vary with technique, expertise and human error. A multiple-injection device can therefore reduce these variations.
Hycoox is superior to manual skin-brightening injections because its head contains 9 small micro-needles. A conventional needle would require the doctor to puncture the face 9 times to match this. The doctor can also select needle depth to suit the intended skin layer.
As discussed above, injection with a needle cannot obtain the full benefit of the injectable on its own. An assisting device is needed to improve precision in delivery to the appropriate skin layer.
Hycoox combines 3 technologies for skin-brightening or mesotherapy injections at full efficiency. Here is how they work.
You may know the Derma Roller as one of the early approaches to enlarged pores and acne scars. A roller covered in closely spaced needles is rolled over the face to encourage skin repair and tightening. Hycoox adapts the concept by using 9 needles with each injection, helping the skin become firmer and smoother while delivering product across the area.
One Hycoox injection procedure is equivalent to the doctor using a needle 900 times. With automatic injection, the doctor can set both depth and frequency, tailoring injection to the skin and product. This makes each procedure precise, delivering product into the correct layer and allowing the skin to receive more vitamins, further increasing the product's effectiveness.
Vacuum Auto Sensing, or automatic vacuum suction, draws the skin into contact with the entire head before the needles are released to inject the product. This provides confidence that all the product is injected simultaneously at the intended positions and also reduces procedure-related pain.
This allows the doctor to obtain the maximum benefit from the injectable at a volume suited to the desired outcome, whether dewy, glowing skin, reduced pores, acne or marks.
As explained above, Hycoox is an injection-assistance device. Technology such as the Derma Roller can improve skin quality and reduce pores. Results such as brighter skin, less acne, softer skin and a dewy glow depend on the selected formulation and differ between clinics. At Behap, we have special formulations designed for different skin needs.
