NAD+: The Energy Molecule Your Cells Miss as You Age

Aging doesn’t start with fine lines or changes in skin texture. It begins much deeper — inside the cell.
One of the earliest and most impactful shifts that occurs with age is the gradual decline of NAD+, a molecule your body depends on for energy production, repair, and resilience. Long before it shows up in the mirror, this decline can be felt as persistent fatigue, slower recovery, brain fog, or a general sense that your body isn’t operating at full capacity.
At Accelerated Aesthetics in Elmhurst IL, we offer NAD+ injections as a cellular wellness therapy designed to support energy, cognitive clarity, and overall vitality from the inside out.
What NAD+ Does in the Body
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. Its role is fundamental: it helps convert nutrients into usable energy and supports essential repair processes, including DNA maintenance and mitochondrial function.
As NAD+ levels decline with age, cells become less efficient at:
- Producing energy
- Repairing everyday cellular damage
- Responding to physical and mental stress
Because NAD+ works at the cellular level, improvements tend to feel subtle but meaningful — a return to feeling more balanced, clear, and capable.

The In-Office NAD+ Experience at Accelerated Aesthetics
Every NAD+ treatment begins with an in-office consultation. During this visit, your provider reviews your health history, lifestyle factors, energy levels, and wellness goals. This allows us to determine whether NAD+ therapy is appropriate for you and how it fits into your overall care plan.
Based on this assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan, including recommended dosing and frequency. Some patients benefit from more frequent sessions initially, while others use NAD+ as part of a maintenance-based wellness routine.
NAD+ is administered via intramuscular injection in a comfortable clinical setting. Appointments are efficient, and patients are typically able to return to normal activities immediately afterward. Mild sensations such as warmth or flushing can occur temporarily and are discussed during your consultation.

Telehealth & At-Home NAD+ Option
For patients who prefer flexibility, Accelerated Aesthetics also offers NAD+ through telehealth appointments with at-home administration options, when clinically appropriate.
Through a virtual consultation, our providers review your medical history, wellness goals, and eligibility for at-home NAD+ therapy. If approved, your treatment is shipped directly to you with clear instructions and ongoing provider guidance.
Who NAD+ Tends to Be a Good Fit For
NAD+ therapy is often well-suited for individuals who:
- Feel persistently low on energy despite adequate sleep
- Experience brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Lead physically or mentally demanding lifestyles
- Are interested in proactive, longevity-focused wellness
As with any injectable therapy, NAD+ may not be appropriate for everyone. A consultation is essential to ensure safety and alignment with your health needs.
How NAD+ Fits Into a Broader Wellness Approach
While NAD+ is not an aesthetic treatment, it pairs naturally with aesthetic and wellness services by supporting the body’s ability to repair and regenerate. Cellular health plays a role in how the body responds to stress, recovery, and in-office treatments.
At Accelerated Aesthetics, NAD+ is offered as part of an integrated approach to aging and wellness — one that considers how you feel, function, and recover, not just how you look.
Supporting Aging at Its Source
NAD+ therapy doesn’t aim to stop time. Instead, it supports the biological processes that help you move through time with more energy, clarity, and resilience.
