Wellness Shots: The Science Behind L-Glutathione, NAD+ and Vitamin B12

At Elle Face Labs, our approach to wellness is rooted in prevention, cellular support, and long-term vitality. Wellness shots are injectable treatments designed to support the body from within by delivering targeted nutrients and antioxidants that play important roles in energy, cellular function, oxidative stress, and overall wellness.

Our wellness shot options include L-Glutathione, NAD+, and Vitamin B12. Each treatment has a unique role in supporting the body and can be recommended based on your goals, lifestyle, and individual needs. 

What Are Wellness Shots? 

Wellness shots are intramuscular or injectable treatments that deliver selected nutrients directly into the body. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system, injectable wellness treatments bypass digestion and allow for direct absorption. 

These treatments are not a replacement for nutrition, sleep, hydration, or medical care. Instead, they are supportive treatments that may help optimize wellness when used appropriately as part of a personalized plan. 

L-Glutathione: Antioxidant and Cellular Support 

L-Glutathione is one of the body’s most important antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress, which can be caused by factors such as stress, inflammation, pollution, alcohol, poor sleep, sun exposure, and normal aging. 

Glutathione plays a role in cellular protection, detoxification pathways, immune support, and maintaining balance within the body. 

In aesthetics and wellness, L-Glutathione is often chosen by clients who want antioxidant support, overall wellness support, and a brighter, more refreshed appearance. 

Best for: antioxidant support, oxidative stress, skin radiance, wellness maintenance, and cellular protection. 

NAD+: Cellular Energy and Longevity Support 

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body and plays a major role in energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and cellular communication. 

Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell because they help produce energy. NAD+ is involved in the process that helps convert nutrients into cellular energy.

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which is why it has become a major focus in longevity and regenerative wellness research. NAD+ wellness shots are designed to support cellular energy, repair pathways, and overall vitality. 

Best for: cellular energy support, fatigue support, wellness optimization, recovery support, and longevity-focused care. 

Vitamin B12: Energy, Nerve and Red Blood Cell Support 

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin involved in red blood cell formation, nerve function, DNA synthesis, and energy metabolism. 

Low B12 levels can contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, brain fog, and low energy, especially in individuals who are deficient or have difficulty absorbing B12 through food. 

Vitamin B12 wellness shots may be a supportive option for clients who want to maintain healthy energy levels, support metabolism, and optimize overall wellness. 

Best for: fatigue support, low energy, metabolism support, nerve health, red blood cell support, and wellness maintenance. 

How Wellness Shots Support Skin and Aesthetic Health 

Healthy skin is not only influenced by topical skincare and injectable treatments. It is also connected to internal wellness, hydration, nutrient status, oxidative stress, sleep, and cellular function. 

Wellness shots can complement aesthetic treatments by supporting the body internally. When the body is better supported, the skin may appear more refreshed, radiant, and resilient. 

At Elle Face Labs, wellness shots pair beautifully with regenerative treatments such as microneedling, PRP, skin boosters, biostimulators, and skin-quality treatments. 

Which Wellness Shot Is Right for You? 

Each wellness shot has a different focus: 

L-Glutathione 

Best for antioxidant support, oxidative stress, skin radiance, and cellular protection.

NAD+ 

Best for cellular energy, mitochondrial support, recovery, and longevity-focused wellness. 

Vitamin B12 

Best for energy support, metabolism, nerve function, and red blood cell health. 

During your consultation, Nurse Danielle will review your goals, health history, lifestyle, and treatment preferences to determine which option is most appropriate for you. 

Are Wellness Shots Safe? 

Wellness shots are generally well tolerated when provided appropriately, but they are not suitable for everyone. A consultation is always required to review your medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, and any contraindications. 

Possible side effects may include temporary soreness at the injection site, redness, tenderness, bruising, nausea, headache, or sensitivity depending on the treatment. 

The Elle Face Labs Approach 

At Elle Face Labs, wellness shots are offered as part of a larger skin-first and regenerative wellness philosophy. 

The goal is not to make unrealistic promises or replace healthy habits. The goal is to support the body’s natural functions, improve internal wellness, and complement your long-term aesthetic plan. 

Whether your focus is energy, radiance, antioxidant support, or cellular wellness, each treatment is selected with intention. 

Book Your Wellness Shot Consultation
