NAD+ Therapy
Intravenous NAD+ therapy replenishes cellular energy, supports metabolism, and improves mental clarity — particularly beneficial for patients on GLP-1 medications or recovering from surgery.
NAD+ therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — a coenzyme central to cellular energy and repair — intravenously or by injection to support energy, recovery, and general wellness. Levels of NAD+ decline naturally with age, and replenishing it is used to support mental clarity, energy, and recovery. It is offered as an elective wellness therapy, not as a treatment for any specific medical condition.
It is used by people seeking support for energy, focus, and recovery as part of a broader wellness routine. Sessions are administered in our office, and our team reviews whether the therapy is appropriate for you. NAD+ therapy is not a substitute for the medical diagnosis or treatment of any condition. Many clients schedule sessions as a short series and pair them with good hydration, nutrition, and sleep to get the most from the therapy.
NAD+ Therapy — Cellular Wellness
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, fatigue, illness, and stress — contributing to low energy, brain fog, slower recovery, and metabolic changes.
Intravenous NAD+ therapy replenishes cellular NAD+ levels more effectively than oral supplements, which have limited bioavailability. Patients commonly report improved energy, mental clarity, better sleep, and enhanced physical recovery after a series of treatments.
At Levesque Plastic Surgery in Austin, TX, NAD+ therapy is offered as part of our broader wellness approach — particularly beneficial for patients on GLP-1 weight loss medications (where fatigue is a common side effect) and for patients recovering from surgery.
- Increased energy and reduced fatigue
- Improved mental clarity and focus
- Enhanced athletic recovery
- Support for healthy aging
- Metabolic and cellular repair
NAD+ is administered as an IV infusion, typically over 2–4 hours. The infusion must be given slowly to avoid nausea and flushing. Most patients relax, read, or work during treatment. No downtime is required afterward. A series of 3–5 infusions is recommended for best results.

NAD+ IV therapy delivers a coenzyme involved in cellular energy directly into the bloodstream, as part of a wellness and recovery-focused offering. Here's what a session involves.
We review your wellness goals and health history to confirm IV therapy is appropriate and to set realistic expectations for how you may feel.
NAD+ is infused slowly through an IV over the course of a session; the slow drip is intentional and keeps the experience comfortable. You can relax, read, or rest during treatment.
There's no downtime — you return to your day afterward. Hydration and healthy habits support how you feel between sessions.
Am I a Candidate?
NAD+ therapy appeals to patients focused on energy and recovery. Good candidates typically:
- Are interested in a wellness-oriented, non-surgical IV therapy
- Want support around energy, focus, and general recovery
- Are in good general health and cleared for IV therapy
- Have realistic, wellness-focused expectations
NAD+ therapy is offered as a wellness service. Individual experiences vary, and it is not a treatment for medical conditions. We're happy to talk through whether it fits your goals at a consultation.

A coenzyme your cells run on
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell, central to how your body turns nutrients into energy and supports cellular repair. Natural levels decline with age, and NAD+ therapy — delivered by IV infusion — aims to replenish them. Many patients pursue it as part of a wellness and recovery routine and report improvements in energy, focus, and how they feel day to day. Research into NAD+ is still evolving, so we’ll set realistic expectations and make sure it fits your health picture before recommending it.
The infusion
NAD+ is given slowly as an IV drip; sessions can take a couple of hours, and going slowly helps minimize sensations some people notice during infusion. You relax comfortably throughout, and there’s no downtime afterward.
Because responses vary, NAD+ is often done as a short series and tailored to your goals. We review your history first to confirm it’s appropriate for you.
- Everyday energy and mental clarity
- Recovery and general wellness routines
- Healthy-aging support
- A complement to a broader wellness plan
