NAD+ Injections for Skin Health: Deep Repair & Radiance from Within

NAD+ Injections for Skin Health: What They Are and Why Everyone’s Talking About Them

You’ve seen it all—collagen creams, 12-step skincare routines, jade rollers, even snail mucin. But lately, there’s a (not so new) new player making waves in the skin health world: NAD+ injections.

They’re not just another trend floating through your feed, they’re backed by science, loved by wellness insiders, and rapidly becoming a go-to for anyone serious about glowing, youthful skin from the inside out.

So, what’s the deal?

 

What is NAD+, and Why Should Your Skin Care?

Let’s put it simply: NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is like the electricity that powers your skin cells. It’s found in every single cell of your body, and it’s responsible for energy, repair, and regeneration, pretty important stuff when it comes to skin that actually functions well, not just looks good.

But here’s the catch: NAD+ declines as we age. By the time we’re in our 40s or 50s, our levels can drop by up to 50%. (Yep, half.) That decline slows down your skin’s natural ability to repair, bounce back, and defend itself against stressors like UV rays, pollution, and the ever-present chaos of modern life.

When NAD+ is replenished, your skin doesn’t just look better—it works better. Think of it as skincare that goes deeper than any serum ever could.

 

How NAD+ Injections Actually Work

No creams. No guessing if it’s working. NAD+ injections go straight into your bloodstream, delivering this powerful coenzyme directly to your cells—bypassing your digestive system and heading right to where it’s needed most.

Once in your system, NAD+ starts to:

• Boost energy production at a cellular level

• Repair DNA damaged by sun and environmental stress

• Support collagen synthesis (hello, firmness)

• Reduce inflammation that speeds up aging

It’s a full-body reboot, with visible benefits for your skin and deeper effects on your overall wellness.

 

So, What’s the Science Say?

Here’s what the research shows (yes, we love receipts):

DNA Repair & Longevity
NAD+ activates something called sirtuins—a group of proteins known as the “longevity genes.” These help repair damage and slow down aging on a cellular level.

Better Mitochondrial Function
Harvard studies have shown that NAD+ supercharges your mitochondria (your cells’ power plants), which leads to faster skin renewal and repair.

Collagen + Elasticity Boost
According to the Journal of Dermatological Science, NAD+ treatments led to a 23% increase in skin elasticity over 12 weeks—plus smoother texture and fewer fine lines.

Stronger Skin Barrier
Better defense against harsh weather, stress, and daily aggressors = longer-lasting glow.

 

What You Might Notice After NAD+ Injections

Plumper, more elastic skin
Smoother texture and more even tone
Reduction in fine lines (especially early signs of aging)
Long-term resilience to damage
A noticeable “healthy skin” glow people will definitely comment on

And let’s be real: skincare is great, but skin confidence hits different when you know your glow is coming from deep within.

 

NAD+ vs. Everything Else: How Does It Compare?

NAD+ Injections vs. Botox/Fillers
Think quick fix (Botox) vs. long game (NAD+). While Botox freezes muscles and fillers add volume, NAD+ supports real skin repair for results that evolve over time.

NAD+ vs. Topical Products
Serums are great, but they stop at the surface. NAD+ goes internal, supporting regeneration where it really matters—at the cellular level.

NAD+ vs. Lasers & Peels
Instead of damaging your skin to prompt healing (like lasers or peels), NAD+ gently encourages natural regeneration from the inside. Better yet? Many pros recommend combining NAD+ with these treatments for enhanced results.

 

What About Side Effects?

Let’s talk transparency. NAD+ is generally safe when administered by professionals, but you might experience:

• Mild discomfort at the injection site

• Temporary fatigue or headache

• Slight nausea or flushing

These usually pass quickly, and are a small tradeoff for the benefits. Of course, if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing health conditions, always check in with your provider first.

 

But Is It Just a Trend?

Let’s bust a myth real quick: NAD+ injections are NOT a short-lived trend.

They’re built on decades of biochemical research and used in medical settings far beyond skincare—from brain health to fatigue management. The benefits for your skin are just one visible (and very welcomed) result.

 

Who’s a Good Candidate? (Probably You)

Whether you’re dealing with tired, dull skin, early signs of aging, or just want to support your long-term skin health, NAD+ could be your secret weapon.

It’s especially great for:

• People in their late 20s to 50s looking for preventive aging support

• Those recovering from stress, illness, or travel

• Clients looking to pair internal rejuvenation with aesthetic treatments

Your Skin Deserves More Than a Quick Fix

If you’re tired of temporary treatments that only scratch the surface, NAD+ might just be the game-changer your skin’s been waiting for.
