NAD+ Injections

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. Your cells rely on it for two essential jobs: converting the food you eat into usable energy and powering the enzymes that carry out everyday cellular repair and maintenance. Natural NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, stress, illness, and demanding schedules.

A NAD+ injection is an intramuscular shot that delivers this coenzyme directly into the body, where it is absorbed without having to pass through the digestive system first. At Express Med Spa, the injection is given by a licensed nurse practitioner as a quick, in-office way to top up NAD+ and support how efficiently your cells produce energy.

Because NAD+ sits at the center of cellular energy production, patients use these injections to support several everyday functions at once:

• Energy and stamina – supporting steadier day-to-day energy rather than a caffeine-style spike.
• Mental clarity and focus – many patients describe less brain fog and sharper concentration.
• Metabolism – supporting the cellular machinery that turns food into fuel.
• Healthy aging – NAD+ powers the repair enzymes involved in maintaining healthy cells over time.
• Recovery – a common choice when you are rebuilding energy after illness or a demanding stretch.

NAD+ injections are a whole-body wellness support, not a treatment aimed at a single area of the face or body.

A NAD+ injection appointment is short and straightforward. Your nurse practitioner first reviews your health history and what you are hoping to get out of the treatment, then administers the injection in just a few minutes. The whole visit typically runs about 15 to 30 minutes.

There is no downtime. Side effects are usually mild, such as brief soreness at the injection site or a short flushing sensation if the dose is given quickly, and you can return to your normal day right away.

Many patients notice steadier energy and clearer focus within a few days of their first injection. NAD+ works at the cellular level, so the benefits are cumulative and tend to build with a regular schedule rather than arriving all at once.

A common approach is a shot every 1 to 2 weeks during an initial series, then spacing treatments further apart for maintenance once you feel the effect. Your nurse practitioner will tailor the cadence to how you respond.

Express Med Spa offers NAD+ in two forms. A NAD+ injection is a quick intramuscular shot you can fit into a short visit, which makes it an easy way to stay consistent. NAD+ IV therapy delivers a larger dose slowly through an IV drip over a longer session, which some patients prefer when they want a bigger single dose.

Neither is automatically better; the right choice depends on your goals, your schedule, and how much time you want to spend in the chair. Many patients also pair NAD+ with B12 injections or IV hydration therapy for broader wellness support. Your nurse practitioner can help you decide which option, or combination, fits best.
