NAD+ for Skin Longevity: Why This Advanced Treatment Is a Game-Changer for Your Skin
If you’ve been hearing more about NAD+ in wellness and longevity circles, you’re not alone - and now it’s making its way into advanced skin treatments too. At Dermabalance, we’re always looking for ethical, science-led ways to support long-term skin health, not just quick fixes. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Illuma NAD+ Skin Booster this February - a treatment designed to support your skin at a cellular level.
In this blog, we’ll explain what NAD+ is, why it matters for skin health, and why delivering it directly into the skin can be such a powerful option.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a crucial role in:
Cellular energy production
DNA repair
Reducing oxidative stress
Supporting healthy ageing
As we age - and through stress, inflammation, illness, poor sleep, and environmental damage - our natural NAD+ levels decline. When this happens, cells become less efficient at repairing themselves, which shows up in the skin as dullness, slower healing, fine lines, inflammation, and loss of resilience.
Think of NAD+ as fuel for your skin cells - without it, everything slows down.
Why NAD+ Matters for Skin Health
Your skin is one of the most metabolically active organs in the body. It constantly renews itself, repairs damage, and responds to environmental stressors like UV exposure and pollution.
Healthy NAD+ levels help to:
Improve cell turnover
Support collagen and elastin integrity
Enhance barrier function
Calm inflammatory pathways
Promote overall skin longevity
Rather than targeting just one concern (like lines or pigmentation), NAD+ works upstream - supporting the skin’s natural repair systems from within the cell.
Introducing Illuma NAD+ Skin Booster
Illuma NAD+ is a professional-grade skin booster formulated specifically for intradermal and mesotherapy delivery. It combines NAD+ and NAD+ precursors designed to support mitochondrial function and cellular regeneration directly where your skin needs it most.
This makes it ideal for:
Tired, stressed, or dull skin
Early ageing and prevention
Skin affected by inflammation or barrier impairment
Clients seeking regenerative, not volumising, treatments
This is not a filler and not about adding volume.
It’s about optimising how your skin functions.
Why Deliver NAD+ Directly to the Skin?
You may have heard of NAD+ IV drips, which are popular in systemic wellness settings. While IV therapy can support whole-body NAD+ levels, skin-focused delivery works very differently.
Skin-Targeted vs Systemic Delivery
When NAD+ is delivered directly into the skin via microneedling or micro-droplet injections:
It bypasses digestive and systemic pathways
It is available exactly where skin cells need it
It supports local repair, regeneration, and barrier function
Lower overall doses are needed for a targeted effect
IV NAD+ treatments support general cellular health throughout the body, but they are not skin-specific. Skin delivery allows us to focus on local optimisation, making it a more precise option for visible skin concerns.
In short: IV therapy works systemically - skin boosters work strategically.
What Makes NAD+ Different from Other Skin Boosters?
Many injectable skin treatments focus on hydration or stimulation alone. NAD+ works at a deeper biological level.
NAD+ treatments support:
Cellular energy (mitochondria)
Repair pathways
Longevity signalling
Skin resilience over time
This makes NAD+ an ideal choice for clients who want to:
Invest in long-term skin health
Take a preventative approach to ageing
Support skin recovery alongside other treatments
