An intramuscular protocol, physician-administered
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell. At FORMA, it is given by intramuscular injection — a small-volume shot, not a drip. The protocol is simple by design: a short office visit, a focused medical check, and an injection placed by Dr. Trentin. Frequency and dosing are individualized to your health profile and goals, and are determined at consultation rather than fixed in advance.
Seen by the physician at every visit
The physician wedge is the practice. Dr. Trentin trained in internal medicine before aesthetic medicine, and that lens carries into every NAD+ visit: a review of your history, medications, and goals before anything is administered. The same physician who evaluates you performs the injection. There is no hand-off to a delegated injector.
Who NAD+ therapy is considered for
NAD+ injections are offered as part of a broader wellness conversation — energy, recovery, and general well-being are common reasons patients ask about it. NAD+ therapy is not an FDA-approved treatment for anti-aging or for any specific medical condition, and it is not a substitute for medical care. Suitability is assessed individually. Some health conditions, medications, or pregnancy may make this treatment inappropriate, which is exactly what the physician evaluation is for.
Your visit, start to finish
The visit opens with a focused consultation: Dr. Trentin reviews your health history, current medications, and what you are hoping to address. If NAD+ therapy is appropriate for you, he explains the protocol and answers your questions. The injection itself is intramuscular and takes only moments to place. You may feel brief pressure or a transient sting at the injection site. There is no drip and no infusion line — you are not seated for an extended period. Most patients return to their day directly afterward. Any sensations to watch for, and how often to return, are reviewed with you in person.
After your injection
NAD+ intramuscular injections involve minimal downtime. Mild tenderness, redness, or a small bruise at the injection site can occur and typically settles on its own. Stay hydrated and keep to your normal routine unless Dr. Trentin advises otherwise. Your specific, written aftercare instructions are provided to you after treatment and are tailored to your visit — follow those, and contact the practice if anything concerns you between visits.
