What Are NAD+ Shots?
NAD+ shots are injections of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme your body already makes and uses in nearly every cell. NAD+ plays a role in converting nutrients into usable cellular energy, supporting mitochondrial function, and helping cells with their natural repair processes. Levels of NAD+ are thought to decline with age, which is part of why interest in NAD+ support has grown. At Skin Social in Sandy Springs, NAD+ shots are offered as a wellness service, not as a cure or treatment for any disease. Individual results vary.
How Do NAD+ Shots Work in the Body?
NAD+ acts as a helper molecule for enzymes involved in energy production and metabolism. By supplying NAD+ directly, the shots are designed to make this coenzyme readily available so cells can carry out their normal energy and repair functions. Because the injections are subcutaneous, meaning they go into the fat layer just under the skin, the NAD+ is absorbed gradually. This is a wellness support approach, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. A health review helps us confirm NAD+ shots are appropriate for you.
What May NAD+ Shots Support?
Many people choose NAD+ shots hoping to support everyday energy, mental clarity and focus, healthy aging, and recovery after exertion or a demanding schedule. These are wellness goals, and responses differ from person to person. We describe NAD+ as something that may support how you feel day to day, never as a guaranteed outcome or a fix for a specific health problem. Individual results vary, and any wellness plan works when paired with good sleep, nutrition, and hydration.
“In my experience guiding wellness clients in Sandy Springs, the people who are happiest with NAD+ shots are the ones who set realistic, feel-good goals and stay consistent rather than expecting an overnight change.”
Natalie Fenner, NP-C, Nurse Injector & Director
How Are NAD+ Shots Given?
NAD+ shots are administered as subcutaneous injections, typically into the abdomen at least 2 inches from the navel, the outer thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Rotating the injection site can help keep the area comfortable. At Skin Social, shots are given by trained medical professionals using sterile technique and pharmaceutical-grade product. The process is quick, and most people fit it easily into a lunch break or a stop between errands in the greater Atlanta area.
How Often Do You Need NAD+ Shots?
Frequency depends on your goals. Many clients begin with a more frequent schedule, often around 3 shots per week, and then move to a maintenance cadence once they have a sense of how they feel. At Skin Social, our Weekly Wellness Series bundles 3 shots per week and is priced at $400 per week for non-members and $300 per week for members. We also offer at-home options for patients who prefer to continue between visits. Because this is a wellness service, your plan is personalized during your health review.
Is There Downtime With NAD+ Shots?
There is generally no downtime with NAD+ shots. Some people notice temporary redness, mild swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically settles on its own. Because NAD+ shots are not recommended during pregnancy or nursing or with certain medical conditions, we always start with a health review before your first appointment. If anything about your history suggests caution, we will talk it through before proceeding. Individual results vary.
“I always tell first-time clients in Sandy Springs that a thorough health assessment up front is the most important part of the visit, because a personalized, safety-first plan is what makes a wellness service like this worthwhile.”
Natalie Fenner, NP-C, Nurse Injector & Director
How Do NAD+ Shots Compare With IV Therapy?
NAD+ shots and IV therapy are complementary wellness services rather than competing ones. NAD+ shots deliver a targeted coenzyme subcutaneously, which may support cellular energy and repair, while IV therapy delivers a broader blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and hydration through a drip for high bioavailability. Some clients use both, choosing NAD+ for focused cellular support and IV drips for hydration and overall wellness. Your provider can help you decide what fits your goals during a consultation in Sandy Springs.
