SLOW DOWN AGING WITH NAD+
The task of anti-aging medicine is to understand and analyze the biological causes of cellular aging to intervene from a preventive and personalized perspective with a transversal approach that includes healthy lifestyles, a balanced diet, physical activity and a careful supplementation of useful nutrients. One of the most important issues to consider in anti-aging medicine are the age-related deficiencies that should be compensated for with a targeted and effective supplementation. Among the substances that degrade over the years, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - abbreviated as NAD+ in its oxidized form - plays a fundamental role in the mechanics of many organic functions.

What is NAD+
The NAD+ molecule is a coenzyme present in the cells of the organism which performs a fundamental function as it takes part in metabolic processes, contributing to the transformation of nutrients into energy and to oxidation-reduction reactions. As a coenzyme, it collaborates in enzymatic activity by optimizing the work of proteins that participate in DNA repair and slowing down cellular aging.
The amount of NAD+ tends to decrease with age as increases the activity of the enzymes that consume it. This decline can trigger metabolic dysfunction and accelerate aging due to the lower amount of energy available and the increase in free radicals. NAD+ supplementation has demonstrated great effectiveness in slowing down or reversing the imbalances linked to the deficiency of the molecule.
The benefits of NAD+ supplementation
NAD+ supplementation is one of the cornerstones of anti-aging medicine as this coenzyme plays a key role in slowing down cellular aging. In fact, the molecule works to benefit cognitive and sporting performance, allowing you to increase energy and stabilize mood. Restoring sufficient NAD+ allows you to fight free radicals and is recommended in case of tiredness, both physical and mental, and to increase immune defenses. Furthermore, the role of NAD+ in energy management also makes it effective in weight control. It is important to remember how NAD+ supplementation is also effective as a form of prevention, considering how much it works in many biochemical processes.
Times and ways to supplement NAD+
To counteract the physiological decline in available NAD+, intravenous supplementation can restore sufficient levels of the molecule, ensuring its total absorption. The drip, composed only of NAD+, guarantees, in fact, full bioavailability of the substance as it enters directly into the systemic circulation, bypassing the digestive process and intestinal dispersion. After the first doctor’s visit, it will be possible to establish a therapeutic protocol tailored to the patient’s needs with sessions of variable duration spread over several weeks. The NAD+ drip can be repeated after a small period of withdrawal.
NAD+-based therapy has no contraindications but must be followed by an expert doctor.
Costs of NAD+-based therapy
Intravenous injections based on NAD+ are a treatment plan made up of a number of sessions established by the doctor during the preliminary session, of variable duration based on the therapy indications. Generally speaking, the single cost per session of NAD+ injection therapy is around 300 euros.

PRP and exosomes: the innovation in skin regeneration
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a blood component already known for its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve skin quality naturally. Recently, it has been discovered that exosomes, used in combination with PRP, enhance its power. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, are in fact able to accelerate tissue regeneration and, consequently, improve the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.
PRP and skin rejuvenation: the secret to fresh and glowing skin
Skin rejuvenation is one of the most pressing goals of aesthetic medicine. As we age, the skin tends to lose elasticity, brightness and firmness due to the physiological decline in collagen and elastin production. From this perspective, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary, safe and natural treatment to improve skin quality and reduce the signs of aging.
PRP AS A TOOL OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE: A COMPLETE INSIGHT
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is one of the most innovative and versatile therapies used in regenerative medicine because, using growth factors naturally present in our blood, can accelerate the recovery and regeneration of tissues. Thanks to its effectiveness, this therapy is widely used, for example, in dermatology, orthopedics, neurology, gynecology and dentistry.
