NAD+ Precursor Injection Effects│Cellular Vitality Restoration and Anti-Aging

Hello.

I am Dr. Eui-chul Jung, Director of Cheongdam SNU Plastic Surgery.

I would like to introduce you to the mechanism and effects of NAD+ precursor injection therapy, which has recently garnered significant attention in the US and Europe, as well as synergistic procedures that can be combined with it.

# What is NAD+? The Core Coenzyme of Cellular Energy

NAD+

(Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is

an essential coenzyme naturally present in all cells of our body.

This substance plays a crucial role in the process of converting the food we consume into energy that cells can use, and is particularly essential for supplying energy to brain function and cell regeneration.

The problem is that NAD+ levels in the body decrease sharply with age.

This leads to reduced cellular energy production, decreased overall vitality, and accelerated aging.

NAD+ injection therapy is an advanced anti-aging treatment that aims to slow down aging at the cellular level and restore overall vitality by directly supplementing the depleted NAD+.

# Key Effects of NAD+ Scientifically Proven Benefits

NAD+ helps maintain health and youth in various aspects.

✨ Cellular Energy and Metabolism Activation

It promotes mitochondrial function within cells, increasing overall energy production and facilitating metabolism.

✨ DNA Repair and Cell Protection

NAD+ aids the activity of enzymes such as PARP-1 and Sirtuin, helping to repair damaged DNA and protect cells.

✨ Improved Cognitive Function

By supplying energy to brain cells, it helps improve brain functions such as memory and concentration.

✨ Regulation of Aging-Related Genes

NAD+ is known to ‘turn off’ ‘aging acceleration genes’, thus offering the potential for fundamental aging delay effects.

✨ Improved Skin Health and Appearance

It promotes cell regeneration and helps repair skin damage caused by UV rays, improving skin elasticity and radiance.

✨ Improved Blood Circulation

It can be effective for peripheral circulatory disorders (numbness and coldness in hands and feet), tinnitus, and irritable dermatitis.

# Pros, Cons, and Precautions

📍 Advantages of NAD+ Injections

✅ High Bioavailability

Unlike oral supplements, it is delivered directly through the bloodstream without loss during digestion, resulting in clear effects.

✅ Enhanced Overall Well-being

As a single treatment, it can provide positive effects across multiple areas, including energy, cognitive function, cell protection, and improved blood circulation.

📍 Disadvantages and Precautions of NAD+ Injections

✅ Limitations of Clinical Data

Current long-term human studies are still in their early stages, and data on long-term effects and safety are continuously being accumulated.

✅ Short-term Side Effects

Some patients may experience temporary and mild side effects immediately after injection, such as facial flushing, headache, or nausea.

These are often temporary symptoms due to improved blood circulation.

Patients with hypotension or those who have undergone surgery or endoscopic examinations within two weeks are not easily candidates for this procedure.

✅ Known Drug Interactions

NAD+ precursors have cross-reactions with hyperlipidemia medications, so administration is restricted for patients with hyperlipidemia.

✅ Treatment Frequency

To maintain the effects, regular treatments (once every 1-2 months) are recommended.

# Synergistic Procedures to Combine With

NAD+ injections can produce complementary effects when combined with other procedures.

# Why Professional Consultation is Necessary

NAD+ injection is a medical procedure that must be planned by a medical professional according to an individual's health status and goals.

Especially if you have underlying conditions or are taking other medications, you must consult with a specialist.

At SNU Plastic Surgery, we provide an appropriate treatment plan through thorough medical history taking and necessary examinations before treatment.

NAD+ injection therapy is more than just ‘nutritional supplementation’; it is a partner in restoring health and youth at the cellular level.

If you have any further questions,

please feel free to contact SNU Plastic Surgery at any time.

Have a healthy and beautiful day today.😊
