NAD+ Injections

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Lake Oswego, Portland, OR and Woodburn, OR

An NAD+ injection is a treatment designed to restore vitality, improve mental clarity, and support healthy aging at the cellular level. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme naturally present in every living cell. It plays a vital role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular communication. (1) As the body ages or becomes stressed, NAD+ levels decline, which contributes to fatigue, slower recovery, decreased focus, and reduced metabolic efficiency.

Serving patients from all over Oregon, Dr. Quita Lopez and her team at Aesthetic Laser Center are a trusted name in rejuvenation and wellness innovations. Dr. Lopez and her team proudly offer NAD+ injections to help patients replenish their energy, sharpen their minds, and enhance overall vitality. With convenient locations in Lake Oswego and Woodburn, Dr. Lopez provides advanced treatments that integrate science, experience, and compassion to help you look and feel your best.

About NAD+ Injections

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most important coenzymes in the body, responsible for transferring energy from nutrients to the mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of cells. This process fuels countless cellular functions, including metabolism, tissue repair, and DNA maintenance.

NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. (2) Lifestyle factors such as poor sleep, chronic stress, and poor nutrition can also accelerate this process.

NAD+ injections deliver this crucial coenzyme directly into the bloodstream through intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. This allows for efficient administration without the need for intravenous (IV) infusions or lengthy sessions. This replenishes cellular stores of NAD+, improving energy production and promoting optimal biological function. (3) By restoring balance at the cellular level, NAD+ therapy enhances physical performance, sharpens mental clarity, and supports recovery.

Benefits

NAD+ injections offer a broad range of benefits for both body and mind. Patients often see improvements such as:

  • Cellular Regeneration and Repair: By replenishing NAD+ reserves, injections stimulate cellular repair and help protect against oxidative damage. Cells function more efficiently, recover faster, and maintain their structural integrity over time.
  • Enhanced Energy Production: NAD+ fuels mitochondrial energy production, helping the body convert nutrients into usable energy more effectively. This results in higher endurance, greater stamina, and less fatigue during daily activities.
  • Improved Cognitive Function: Patients frequently report better focus, memory retention, and mental sharpness. NAD+ supports healthy brain function by facilitating communication between neurons and protecting against age-related decline.
  • Faster Recovery and Reduced Inflammation: Whether from stress, exercise, or illness, the body can experience inflammation and oxidative stress that slows recovery. NAD+ helps mitigate these effects, speeding up tissue healing and reducing post-exertion fatigue.
  • Support for Metabolic Health: Maintaining sufficient NAD+ levels promotes balanced metabolism, helping regulate appetite, weight, and nutrient utilization. This is especially beneficial for individuals struggling with insulin resistance or low energy due to metabolic factors.
  • Overall Vitality and Longevity: By promoting healthy aging at the cellular level, NAD+ therapy contributes to long-term vitality. It enhances resilience against fatigue and improves how the body responds to environmental and physiological stressors.

Ideal Candidates

NAD+ injections are ideal for individuals who experience low energy, poor focus, or sluggish recovery and want a fast, natural way to restore balance. Ideal candidates are usually those who:

  • Experience chronic fatigue or burnout
  • Struggle with brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Seek improved recovery from workouts or physical stress
  • Wish to support healthy aging and prevent age-related decline
  • Are on GLP-1 medications and experiencing lower energy from reduced nutrient intake
  • Desire a wellness boost without undergoing invasive treatments

Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what they can achieve with these treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Lopez will evaluate your symptoms and determine whether NAD+ therapy is right for you.

Personal Consultation

During your private consultation at Aesthetic Laser Center, Dr. Lopez or a skilled member of her team will discuss your health history, lifestyle, and current wellness concerns.

After assessing your concerns, we will recommend a personalized injection regimen. Depending on your goals, NAD+ therapy may be performed as a stand-alone wellness treatment or combined with corresponding treatments like low-level laser therapy (LLLT), platelet-rich fibrin injections, or vitamin therapy. Dr. Lopez or a member of her team will also explain what to expect before, during, and after treatment, along with how NAD+ therapy can fit into your broader wellness plan.

Preparation

Preparing for NAD+ injections is relatively simple, and Dr. Lopez will provide a list of any necessary instructions you may need to follow. Generally speaking, to ensure optimal results, patients should:

  • Stay hydrated before their appointment
  • Eat a balanced meal or a healthy snack to maintain steady blood sugar before their injections
  • Avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours before treatment
  • Get adequate rest the night before treatment

Procedure

NAD+ injections are performed in-office and typically take only a few minutes. The treatment involves administering NAD+ intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Once injected, NAD+ is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, where it is transported to cells throughout the body. There, it binds with enzymes involved in cellular energy production and repair, stimulating mitochondrial activity.

Most patients describe the experience as quick and comfortable with little to no discomfort. We ensure precise dosing and gentle administration for a smooth, relaxing treatment experience. Patients may begin to notice a difference after just one session, but optimal results usually develop with consistent treatments. Your exact injection schedule will depend on your individual response and the desired outcome.

Results

Following treatment, patients frequently report an improvement in energy levels, mood, and cognitive clarity within a few days. The results of NAD+ therapy can vary, but common positive outcomes include:

  • Enhanced mental focus and sharper memory
  • Sustained energy throughout the day
  • Quicker recovery from fatigue or strenuous activity
  • Better stress management and mood stability
  • Improved overall sense of well-being

With regular maintenance sessions, patients often notice long-term benefits in physical stamina and cognitive performance. Dr. Lopez and her team may recommend periodic booster injections to sustain optimal NAD+ levels and extend results.

Recovery

Because NAD+ injections are non-surgical, there is no recovery period required. Patients can return to work, exercise, or daily activities immediately after their appointment. Minor soreness at the injection site may occur temporarily but usually resolves within hours. To maximize results, patients should maintain proper hydration, get adequate rest, and continue leading a balanced lifestyle. Regular follow-up visits with Dr. Lopez may be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Corresponding and Combination Treatments

NAD+ injections can be combined with several other treatments offered at Aesthetic Laser Center to enhance results. Some common additions include:

Vitamin Injections

Vitamin injections can complement NAD+ therapy by providing additional energy support and enhanced metabolic balance.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Pairing NAD+ with low-level light therapy amplifies cellular rejuvenation, accelerating tissue repair and improving circulation.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Injections

For patients seeking skin rejuvenation or enhanced healing, combining NAD+ with PRF can boost collagen production and speed cellular repair.

If you are interested in adding treatments, Dr. Lopez will help you design a comprehensive plan to enhance your overall vitality and health.
