Abstract
NAD+ therapy is increasingly popular in aesthetic plastic surgery despite limited clinical evidence supporting its claimed benefits.
- NAD+ is a critical coenzyme linked to metabolic processes and is believed to have anti-aging and recovery benefits.
- Current support for NAD+ in postoperative healing is primarily anecdotal, based on preclinical studies and patient testimonials.
- Limited clinical studies exist to substantiate the claims of NAD+ enhancing recovery in surgical contexts.
- The review discusses the mechanism of action of NAD+ and evaluates available clinical evidence and safety considerations.
- Ethical issues regarding the use of NAD+ in aesthetic practices are also highlighted, reflecting the need for careful evaluation.
