New Xytide Thread Mastery Courses Available!

NORTHLAND COSMETIC ACADEMYS IS VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THREE NEW 'XYTIDE ARTLIFT THRED' COURSES!

What is Xytide and Artlift?

Xytide Biotech is a newly created company that specialises in Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers and a wide range of Artlift Dermal threads. They are based in Australia and are now registered in New Zealand. The threads are imported from Korea, who are the world leaders in Thread Lifting. 

Artlift® is Australia and New Zealand’s most extensive line of threads, for every thread shape, both barbed and moulded threads, and the option of both PDO and PLLA materials. This empowers practitioners to offer the most premium and specialised thread line for their specific circumstances so you can personalise your medical treatment.

What are Artlift Dermal Threads?

Artlift dermal threads are made of a dissolvable suture material, which is inserted into the skin to help lift and support tissue (such as jowls), help to replace loss of volume (such as the nasolabial folds). The threads have a bio-stimulatory effect which increase the amount of collagen naturally produced by your body. The threads gradually breakdown: this process produces small molecular weight molecules, which gradually induce the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid by the skin. As a result, skin becomes more moisturised, revitalised and firm. The threads come in three main types – ‘smooth’ or ‘short’ threads, ‘long’, ‘lifting’ or ‘hooked’ threads and ‘volumising’ threads, all of which are typically used on the face and neck areas.

What does the treatment involve?

All types of threading involve placing a needle or cannula into the skin. The needle or cannula is attached to a piece of suture material made of either polydioxanone (PDO) or poly L lactic acid (PLLA). The needle or cannula is removed, and the PDO or PLLA suture material remains in the tissue and dissolves over time. As the suture material dissolves, the skin is stimulated to typically give a more desirable appearance.
