NEW YORK, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Obagi Medical (“Obagi”), a leader in advanced skincare innovation, the originator of medical-grade skincare and part of Waldencast plc (NASDAQ: WALD) (“Waldencast” or the “Company”), has partnered with the world’s most advanced and comprehensive brand of health optimization and longevity centers, Next Health, to create “The Skin Recharge Station,” an innovative limited-time pop-up truck merging advanced skincare with modern wellness.
The immersive experience introduces visitors to the concept of skin energy and provides education on the science behind Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), and its role in supporting skin vitality. NAD+ is a vital coenzyme found in every cell that helps convert nutrients into energy and supports essential functions like cellular repair, metabolism, brain function, and healthy aging. Attendees will receive personalized Aura skin analyses, explore the benefits of Obagi’s latest launch, NU-GEN™ Cellular Renewal Serum, and engage in interactive touchpoints throughout the experience, including opportunities to win Next Health NAD+ Shots, NAD+ IV Drips, and take home product samples.
“We’re excited to partner with Next Health, a natural alignment of our shared focus on innovation in skincare and longevity,” said Justin Giouzepis, Chief Marketing Officer of Obagi Medical. “Together, we’re bringing an engaging, educational experience directly from the clinic to consumers, helping them better understand the science behind skin biology and how overall wellness impacts daily life.”
“NAD+ has long been a cornerstone molecule in longevity medicine because of its role in cellular energy production and DNA repair,” said Darshan Shah, MD, Founder & CEO of Next Health and Host of the EXTEND Podcast. “At Next Health, we’ve delivered NAD+ systemically through IV therapy for years, and now we’re thrilled to offer Obagi’s proprietary topical application that supports those same cellular processes in the skin. It represents a powerful approach to healthy aging through a lens of true longevity.”
The tour will begin in West Hollywood (Sunset Blvd) from May 14–15, continue to Studio City (Sportsmen’s Lodge) from May 16–17, and conclude in Newport Beach (Fashion Island) from May 23–24. To learn more, visit here.
