What Is NAD+ Shots?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body and plays a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, cellular communication, and the regulation of aging-related processes. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, stress, alcohol use, and metabolic dysfunction — contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and accelerated aging at the cellular level.

NAD+ injections deliver this essential coenzyme directly into the bloodstream via intramuscular injection, bypassing the digestive tract for efficient absorption. At New Look Skin Center, NAD+ treatments are integrated within our broader wellness offering alongside our aesthetic services.

What Do NAD+ Shots Do?

NAD+ serves as a critical coenzyme in hundreds of enzymatic reactions. Its most recognized functions include:

• Cellular energy production — NAD+ is essential to mitochondrial ATP synthesis (your cells’ fuel)
• DNA repair — activates sirtuins and PARP enzymes involved in genomic maintenance
• Healthy aging — supports pathways associated with longevity at the cellular level
• Neurocognitive function — supports neurotransmitter synthesis and brain metabolism
• Metabolism — assists in processing carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids
• Inflammation regulation — helps modulate inflammatory signaling pathways

Who May Benefit From NAD+ Shots?

• Individuals experiencing persistent fatigue or low energy despite adequate sleep
• Those seeking cognitive support — focus, mental clarity, and memory
• Clients interested in cellular anti-aging and longevity strategies
• Those recovering from illness, overtraining, or periods of high stress
• Individuals supporting metabolic health and weight management goals
• Anyone interested in complementary wellness alongside aesthetic treatments

Frequently Asked Questions

What does NAD+ actually do in the body?

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier in the metabolic pathways that convert food into usable cellular energy (ATP). It also activates a class of proteins called sirtuins, which regulate DNA repair, gene expression, and stress resistance — functions closely linked to the aging process. Without adequate NAD+, cells become less efficient at energy production and repair.

Why do NAD+ levels decline?

NAD+ production naturally decreases with age — often by 50% or more between ages 40 and 60. Additional factors that deplete NAD+ include chronic inflammation, alcohol consumption, poor sleep, excessive caloric intake, and oxidative stress. Low NAD+ is associated with metabolic slowdown, fatigue, and accelerated cellular aging.

How quickly will I feel results?

Some clients report improved energy, mental clarity, and sense of well-being within hours to a couple of days after their first injection. Others notice more gradual effects over a series of treatments. Response varies based on baseline NAD+ levels, overall health, and lifestyle factors.

How often should I get NAD+ shots?

Frequency depends on your goals. Clients seeking acute energy and cognitive support may begin with weekly injections. For ongoing wellness maintenance, biweekly or monthly sessions are common. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your health history and objectives.

Are NAD+ shots safe?

Yes. NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule the body synthesizes and uses constantly. Intramuscular injection is a well-established delivery route. Side effects are generally mild — occasional soreness at the injection site or transient warmth and flushing. All treatments at New Look Skin Center use high-quality formulations and are administered in a clinical setting.

How are NAD+ shots different from NAD+ IV infusions?

IV NAD+ infusions deliver a much higher dose directly into the bloodstream and may be preferred for more intensive therapeutic goals (such as addiction support or neurological recovery). IM injections are faster, require no IV access, and are well-suited for wellness maintenance and energy support. Your provider can discuss which approach is appropriate for your needs.

Can I combine NAD+ shots with other treatments?

Yes. NAD+ injections complement both wellness and aesthetic treatments. They are commonly combined with vitamin B12 shots, other micronutrient injections, and aesthetic services at New Look Skin Center — supporting both internal vitality and external rejuvenation.

How much do NAD+ shots cost?

Pricing depends on dosage and the frequency of your treatment plan. Package pricing is typically available. A consultation will help determine the appropriate dose and schedule for your goals, along with full transparent pricing.
