NAD+ Injections Aftercare
Reviewed by Dr. Alexander Landfield, Board-Certified Neurologist
Your NAD+ injection is supporting cellular repair and energy production at the molecular level. Follow these simple aftercare steps to maximize the benefits of your treatment.
Immediately After Treatment
- 1A small bandage may be placed over the injection site — leave it on for 1–2 hours
- 2Mild soreness at the injection site is normal (similar to a flu shot)
- 3You may resume all normal activities immediately
- 4Stay well-hydrated — drink a full glass of water after your injection
First 24 Hours
- Some patients notice a boost in energy and mental clarity within hours
- Mild flushing, warmth, or tingling may occur — these are normal responses
- Light exercise is fine and may enhance the effects of NAD+
- Continue your regular diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours to maximize the anti-oxidant benefits
First Week
- Benefits accumulate over multiple sessions — most patients notice significant improvement after 3–4 treatments
- Energy improvements, mental clarity, and sleep quality often improve within the first week
- Keep a journal of how you feel to track improvements over time
- Continue any prescribed supplement regimen
Long-Term Care & Maintenance
- NAD+ benefits are cumulative — regular sessions provide the best results
- Recommended frequency: weekly for the first month, then monthly for maintenance
- Combine with lifestyle factors: quality sleep, regular exercise, stress management
- Consider adding complementary treatments: vitamin B12, glutathione, or vitamin D3 injections
Things to Avoid
- Excessive alcohol consumption (depletes NAD+ and counteracts the treatment)
- Processed foods and excessive sugar (increase oxidative stress)
- Extreme exercise immediately after injection (rest and hydrate first)

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly does NAD+ injection work?
Some patients notice increased energy and mental clarity within a few hours of their first NAD+ injection. However, the most significant benefits are cumulative — most patients report meaningful improvements in energy, sleep quality, and cognitive function after 3–4 treatments. Intramuscular (IM) injection provides rapid absorption and higher bioavailability compared to oral supplements.
How often should I get NAD+ injections?
For an initial loading phase, we typically recommend weekly NAD+ injections for the first 4 weeks. After the loading phase, monthly maintenance sessions help sustain optimal NAD+ levels. Your protocol is customized based on your health goals, age, and baseline NAD+ levels, with oversight from Dr. Landfield.
What is the difference between NAD+ injections and IV NAD+?
Rani Beauty Clinic offers intramuscular (IM) NAD+ injections — not IV infusions. IM injections are quicker (5 minutes vs 2–4 hours for IV), more convenient, equally effective for most patients, and typically more affordable. The NAD+ is absorbed directly into muscle tissue and enters the bloodstream rapidly.
Are there side effects from NAD+ injections?
NAD+ injections are generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are mild soreness at the injection site and temporary flushing or warmth. Some patients experience a brief tingling sensation. Serious side effects are rare. All NAD+ treatments at Rani Beauty Clinic are administered under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Landfield, our board-certified neurologist.
