Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that fuels metabolism, cellular repair, and brain function. Restoring NAD+ supports energy, mood balance, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

At Aesthetic + Mind MD, NAD+ is delivered either through intramuscular injection for rapid replenishment or IV infusion for a gradual, comprehensive boost.

  1. Hydration:
    Drink at least 24 oz of water before your session. Proper hydration allows for smoother IV insertion and optimal absorption.
  2. Nutrition:
    Eat a light, balanced meal 1–2 hours prior to treatment. Avoid heavy or greasy foods immediately before your appointment.
  3. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol:
    Limit or avoid these for at least 12 hours before treatment, as they can interfere with hydration and increase nausea risk.
  4. Medications and Supplements:
    Continue prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise. Inform your provider of all current medications, supplements, and recent medical changes.
  5. Rest and Recovery Planning:
    Schedule your appointment at a time when you can relax afterward, especially for your first treatment.
  6. Clothing Choice:
    Wear loose, comfortable clothing. For IV infusions, sleeves should roll up easily for vein access.
  • Time Commitment:
    Plan for 1.5–3 hours depending on infusion rate.
  • Entertainment:
    Bring a book, headphones, or music to enjoy during your session.
  • Movement:
    Avoid strenuous activity or workouts just before treatment.
  • Location:
    Injections are typically given in the deltoid (upper arm) or thigh.
  • Duration:
    The process takes 5–10 minutes with minimal discomfort.
  • Frequency:
    Follow your provider’s recommended dosing schedule for cumulative benefits.

Immediately After Treatment

  1. Hydrate:
    Drink at least 24 oz of water after your session to support NAD+ metabolism and minimize fatigue or headache.
  2. Nutrition:
    Eat a balanced meal with protein and complex carbohydrates within 2 hours post-treatment.
  3. Rest:
    Some patients feel relaxed or mildly tired afterward—this is normal. Allow your body to rest and process the infusion.
  4. Avoid Strenuous Exercise:
    Refrain from high-intensity workouts or heavy lifting for 24 hours.
  5. Monitor How You Feel:
    Mild symptoms such as warmth, light flushing, or temporary fatigue can occur and usually resolve within a few hours.

Common and Expected Reactions

  • Mild discomfort or redness at injection site (injections only).
  • Temporary headache or nausea, especially if hydration is inadequate.
  • Warm sensation or flushing during infusion (IV therapy only).
  • Fatigue or light headedness that improves with rest and hydration.

These effects are short-lived and typically subside within 24 hours.
To Enhance Results

  • Continue consistent hydration (60–80 oz of water daily).
  • Maintain a nutrient-rich diet with whole foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Prioritize adequate sleep and stress management to support cellular repair.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, or processed foods for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
  • For optimal results, follow your provider’s recommended series schedule and maintenance plan.
