Materials that we use
Nordyx threads are made of PLACL - that is the best material that stays the longest time in the to obtain maximum results. PLACL is a combination of PCL (Polycaprolacton) and PLLA (Polylactic-acid).
Nordyx threads are CE-registered since May 2019, and is a Norwegian trademark owned by Amedica AS.

The threads are produced of the best PLACL raw material.
Nordyx have threads that are unique only to the Nordyx brand.
Different types of threads on the market:
PDO – The most common material. Stays 3-6 months in the tissue, depending on Gauge.
PLLA – Poly lactic L-acid. This is the material that can stay up until 2 years in the tissue. But the thread is fragile and breaks easily.
PCL – Polycaprolactone. A softer thread that also stays longer in the tissue compared to PDO, but it is soft and not thermostable.
PLACL - A combination of PLLA and PCL which gives a strong and flexible thread, and is today the best material on the market. Only a few producers have obtained CE, and therefore is PDO the thread that is still most common. PLACL threads stay from 12-18 months in the tissue – depending on the gauge, and is the thread and material that gives the best lift and the best tissue stimulation.
Cannulas:
The threads are placed in the tissue by inserting a cannula that already has the thread inside the cannula.
The thread leaves the cannula when the cannula is being removed from the tissue.

Dr. Ragni Elisabeth Funner
Vision for the feature
Dr. Ragni Elisabeth Funner (Dentist) has 20 years of experience from aesthetic treatments such as filler injections, mesotherapy, thread lifts, and PRP treatments. She has also been giving lectures for 10 years.
She graduated as a Dentist from Oslo University in 1988 as one of the best in her class. Dentists have extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and facial structures, since this is the field they are operating in, so it was very easy for Ragni to start doing esthetic treatments in 1998 when she was one of the first in Scandinavia to be trained in fillers. Dentists are used to working with their hands in the face, used to needles and injections, and are very much into the esthetic side of the face, lips, and mouth.
She’s has been Amedicaś certified expert trainer for Scandinavia and the UK. Ragni has been working with esthetic dentistry and esthetic medicine in her own practice in Norway for more than 20 years. Five years ago she sold her dental practice to become a full-time trainer for Amedica in aesthetic treatments, with a focus on injectables, PRP and thread lift for nurses, doctors, and surgeons.
She has developed advanced techniques with the different thread brands she worked with over the years but came to see that with few adjustments on the threads and techniques, she could make the treatments she was offering her clients better and results lasting longer. So today she is working with new and improved threads she has formulated together with a well-reputed production company.
Sought after for her expert opinion, Dr. Ragni Funner has featured in the press in Scandinavia, and she has held many lectures for Amedica in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK for nurses, dentists, doctors, and plastic surgeons.
Long lasting results without surgery.
There is no scar formation or irreversible changes.
