The Secret Weapon of Youth: How NAD+ Transforms Anti-Aging, Biohacking & Hair Growth
By Dr. Cohen, M.D, Beverly Hills, CA
Welcome to my practice — a sanctuary in the heart of Beverly Hills where science meets beauty, and cellular health is the new skincare. Today, I’m opening the doors to a revolutionary molecule that’s making waves in anti-aging medicine, cutting-edge biohacking, and even hair restoration: NAD+.
As a physician deeply immersed in regenerative health and aesthetic medicine, I’ve seen trends come and go. But NAD+? It’s not just a trend — it’s a transformation. Let’s dive into why this molecule might just be your body’s missing puzzle piece to reverse aging, elevate energy, and spark hair growth from the inside out. 🧪💫
🧠 What is NAD+ and Why Should You Care?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell in your body. It's as essential to life as oxygen and water. Think of it as the "currency of life" — the spark plug that powers cellular energy and DNA repair.
🧬 It helps your mitochondria (your cell’s batteries) produce energy
🛡 It repairs damaged DNA — the wear and tear of living
🕰 It slows cellular aging by activating longevity genes (hello, sirtuins!)
🔥 It fuels metabolism, focus, and muscle strength
🌱 It’s essential for regenerating tissues — including your skin and hair follicles
Unfortunately, NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age — some researchers estimate by as much as 50% by the time you hit your 40s. That drop-off can accelerate aging, fatigue, brain fog, and hair thinning. Sound familiar?
✨ NAD+ and Anti-Aging: Turning Back the Cellular Clock
Let’s start where most of my Beverly Hills clients are especially invested — looking and feeling younger. Aging isn't just about wrinkles or gray hair — it starts deep within your cells. And that’s where NAD+ steps in like a miracle molecule.
🧬 DNA Repair: Every day, your DNA is bombarded by UV rays, pollution, toxins, and stress. NAD+ helps activate enzymes that repair broken DNA strands, keeping your genetic code clean and youthful.
🔐 Sirtuins Activation: These “longevity genes” are switched on by NAD+. They protect cells against oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging. Sirtuins also regulate metabolism and gene expression — all critical for graceful aging.
🕯 Cellular Turnover: NAD+ boosts mitochondrial function, allowing your body to clear out damaged cells (a process called autophagy) and regenerate new, healthier ones.
💉 Skin Rejuvenation: NAD+ therapies (IVs, supplements, or topical applications) have shown to improve skin elasticity, reduce pigmentation, and support collagen production. Clients report smoother, brighter skin — even with just a few sessions.
🛑 Slowing Cellular Senescence: These are the “zombie cells” that refuse to die and trigger inflammation and tissue degradation. NAD+ helps purge them and rejuvenate your skin from within.
In my clinic, I combine NAD+ treatments with other regenerative modalities like microneedling, exosomes, and PRP to enhance their anti-aging effects. It’s what I call cellular skincare — from the inside out.
🚀 NAD+ and Biohacking: Optimizing Mind & Body
If you're already investing in your body with clean eating, regular workouts, and skincare — biohacking is the next frontier. It’s not just about looking better — it’s about optimizing every system in your body. NAD+ is a cornerstone of that protocol.
⚡️ Energy & Vitality: By boosting mitochondrial health, NAD+ dramatically increases cellular energy. Clients often describe the post-IV feeling as "pure life force" — sharper mind, stronger workouts, and better endurance.
🧠 Brain Function & Mental Clarity: NAD+ enhances cognition by fueling the brain’s energy demands. It’s been used in treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain fog. My patients notice improved memory, sharper focus, and mental clarity after just a few sessions.
🧘♀️ Mood & Sleep: NAD+ modulates neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which affect mood and anxiety. It also regulates circadian rhythms for deeper, more restorative sleep.
💪 Muscle Recovery & Athletic Performance: NAD+ reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, allowing faster recovery from intense training or injuries. For athletes, it’s like rocket fuel for performance.
💥 Metabolic Health: NAD+ supports healthy glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, crucial for weight management and metabolic function.
🧪 Detoxification: NAD+ boosts your body's natural detox systems, helping you flush out toxins, repair damaged tissue, and regenerate organs.
In the biohacking community — from Silicon Valley CEOs to Hollywood’s elite — NAD+ IV drips are a regular ritual. I’ve seen it help everyone from burned-out executives to clients managing autoimmune issues regain control of their health and energy.
💇♀️ NAD+ and Hair Growth: The Regeneration You Didn’t Expect
Now here’s where things get really interesting.
As someone who treats both men and women for hair loss — especially stress-related or aging-related — I’ve seen NAD+ work wonders in restoring hair density, thickness, and vitality. Here’s how:
🌱 Follicle Regeneration: NAD+ stimulates the growth phase of the hair cycle (anagen), helping dormant follicles “wake up” and produce healthy strands again.
🩸 Improved Scalp Circulation: Better blood flow = more oxygen and nutrients delivered to the follicle = thicker, fuller hair.
🧬 Reduced Oxidative Stress: Hair follicles are highly sensitive to cellular stress. NAD+ reduces this and protects against environmental and hormonal damage (like DHT).
🧠 Stress Hormone Regulation: NAD+ modulates cortisol levels. Chronic stress is a major cause of hair thinning — NAD+ helps reset the system.
🧪 Synergistic Therapies: When combined with microneedling, exosome therapy, red light therapy, or PRP, NAD+ enhances hair follicle activation, increasing the efficacy of the treatments.
Patients often notice early regrowth and improved hair texture within just a few months of consistent NAD+ use. It's especially powerful for women in perimenopause or post-pregnancy hair thinning.
💉 How to Take NAD+: IVs, Injections, Supplements & Skincare
So how do we get this golden molecule into your system?
💧 NAD+ IV Therapy: This is the gold standard. Administered slowly over 1–2 hours in my clinic, NAD+ IV infusions go directly into your bloodstream for maximum absorption. Most clients do a loading phase (several sessions over 2–4 weeks) and then maintain monthly.
💉 Subcutaneous Injections: These are quick, at-home shots you can self-administer. Not as potent as IVs, but great for daily support.
💊 Oral NAD+ Precursors: Options like NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) are available as capsules. Less bioavailable than IVs, but still effective for maintenance.
🧴 Topical NAD+ Skincare: Yes, you can apply it too! NAD+-infused serums and creams support skin barrier health, reduce inflammation, and visibly reduce signs of aging. I recommend pairing this with microneedling to maximize delivery into the dermis.
🧬 Peptide Pairing: I often pair NAD+ protocols with peptides like GHK-Cu for collagen support, or PT-141 for energy and mood.
As always, personalized care is key. In my practice, I create custom NAD+ programs based on your age, goals, labs, and current health status.
🌟 Client Transformations I’ve Witnessed
In my Beverly Hills clinic, I’ve seen firsthand how NAD+ changes lives. Let me share a few examples:
💁♀️ One client in her early 50s came in exhausted, foggy, and worried about thinning hair. After a 4-week NAD+ protocol (IVs and scalp injections), she reported better sleep, radiant skin, and baby hairs growing in places she thought were dormant forever.
🏋️♂️ A male actor in his 40s with years of overtraining and fatigue came in for biohacking support. His mitochondrial labs were sluggish. Within a month of NAD+ therapy, his stamina and muscle recovery improved dramatically — and he booked three action roles shortly after.
🧘 A woman in her 30s recovering from long-COVID experienced hair shedding, brain fog, and hormonal chaos. We used NAD+ IVs, NMN supplements, and hormone balancing. She now has her energy and confidence back — and fuller hair.
These stories are powerful because NAD+ doesn’t just work on the surface — it works within, at the cellular root of vitality.
🌿 NAD+ and Lifestyle Synergy
To get the most out of NAD+, I always emphasize the power of synergy. Here’s how you can support your NAD+ levels naturally:
🥦 Eat a clean, antioxidant-rich diet (dark leafy greens, cruciferous veggies, omega-3s)
🚫 Avoid excess alcohol and sugar (they deplete NAD+)
🧘♂️ Manage stress through mindfulness, meditation, or breathwork
💤 Prioritize deep sleep — your cells repair while you rest
🏃♀️ Engage in regular movement and resistance training
🧴 Use anti-inflammatory, plant-based skincare (especially those with niacinamide and peptides)
🧬 Get regular lab work and optimize vitamin B3, magnesium, and glutathione levels
Incorporating these habits into your routine, alongside NAD+, accelerates results — whether you’re chasing youthful skin, stronger hair, or just boundless energy.
💎 Why NAD+ is the Future of Regenerative Aesthetics
Let’s face it — injectable fillers, lasers, and facials can only go so far. True beauty radiates from cellular health. That’s why I believe NAD+ is the future of anti-aging and aesthetics.
📈 It treats the root cause — not just the symptoms
🧬 It supports whole-body regeneration — not just your skin
💆♀️ It enhances every other aesthetic treatment
🌟 It helps you feel as young as you look
If you’re ready to level up your aging strategy, biohack your energy, or revive your hair — NAD+ may be the missing link your body’s been craving.
