Targeted, physician-prescribed injections at Lumina Medspa & Wellness. Peptide therapy and our vitamin injection menu are delivered intramuscularly (IM) — a quick, well-tolerated route with steady absorption and no infusion time.
Peptide Therapy (IM)
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, prompting pathways your body already uses. Every protocol is prescribed by a physician following an evaluation and administered as an intramuscular injection.
- Peptide Consultation & Plan — $150 (credited toward your first protocol)
- Protocols typically $199–$449 per month, quoted at your consultation
- In-office IM administration — $35 per visit (many protocols can be self-administered at home after training)
- Laboratory testing quoted separately when indicated
Which peptides are appropriate for you is determined by your physician following an evaluation, and reflects what is currently available to prescribe. Read our guide to IM peptide therapy, then book a consultation or call (916) 807-8086 to discuss your options.
Vitamin & Nutrient Injections (IM)
Quick, targeted intramuscular injections — most take just a few minutes.
- NAD+ IM — $70
- Glutathione IM — $60
- GLOW IM — $99
- Vitamin B12 IM — $40
- Vitamin B-Complex IM — $45
- Vitamin C IM — $45
Why intramuscular?
- Steady, predictable absorption into well-vascularized muscle, rather than all at once
- Gentle and well tolerated, with fewer administration-related side effects
- No line, no vein access — which removes an entire category of risk
- Minutes, not hours — most visits are in and out
Lumina no longer offers intravenous (IV) drip therapy. Our injectable wellness services are now provided intramuscularly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Peptide Therapy & Vitamin Injections
What is peptide therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, prompting pathways your body already uses to release hormones, repair tissue, regulate appetite, or balance inflammation. Peptide therapy at Lumina Medspa & Wellness is physician-prescribed following an evaluation and delivered by intramuscular (IM) injection.
Why does Lumina Medspa give peptides intramuscularly instead of by IV?
Intramuscular (IM) delivery provides predictable, sustained absorption into well-vascularized muscle, is gentle and well tolerated, removes the risks associated with vein access and IV lines, and takes minutes rather than hours. Lumina Medspa & Wellness discontinued IV drip therapy in favor of IM-only injections, which also aligns with the protocols used in clinical literature.
Does Lumina Medspa still offer IV drip therapy?
No. Lumina Medspa & Wellness no longer offers intravenous (IV) drip therapy. All injectable wellness services, including NAD+, glutathione, vitamin injections, and peptides, are now provided as quick intramuscular (IM) injections.
How much does peptide therapy cost?
At Lumina Medspa & Wellness, a Peptide Consultation & Plan is $150, credited toward your first protocol. Protocols typically run $199 to $449 per month, quoted at your consultation. In-office IM administration is $35 per visit, and many protocols can be self-administered at home after training. Lab testing is quoted separately when indicated.
Can I self-administer peptide injections at home?
Yes. Many peptide protocols can be self-administered at home after our team trains you on proper technique. Injections are given with a fine needle into the deltoid, glute, or thigh and take only a minute or two.
What does an NAD+ injection do?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell that is involved in energy production and cellular repair. Patients choose NAD+ IM injections ($70 at Lumina Medspa & Wellness) for support with energy, mental clarity, and healthy aging.
How often should I get vitamin or NAD+ injections?
Frequency depends on the specific injection and your goals. Some patients come weekly during a wellness push, others monthly for maintenance. Dr. Liu recommends a schedule at your consultation.
