IV Infusions and Vitamin Injections in Hobbs and Albuquerque, NM
Your body can only use what it can absorb, and the truth is that oral supplements, no matter how high quality, face a long and inefficient path through the digestive system before their active ingredients reach your bloodstream. Depending on the nutrient, your body may absorb only a fraction of what you take, and factors like stress, medications, gut health, and age can reduce that even further. Intravenous infusion bypasses the digestive system entirely and delivers vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream at full concentration, where they are immediately available to your cells.
At Younique Medical Spa, every patient begins with a consultation and a good faith exam performed by a nurse practitioner to ensure you are medically cleared and that your treatment plan is appropriate for your needs. We offer a full menu of IV infusions and vitamin injections at both our Hobbs and Albuquerque locations. Each infusion is formulated to address specific goals, from immune support and energy restoration to cognitive clarity, athletic recovery, skin health, and metabolic support.
These treatments are administered by trained clinical staff in a comfortable, private setting, and they pair naturally with many of the other services we offer, including medical weight loss programs, hormone therapy, and aesthetic treatments.
Administered by trained clinical staff. Good faith exam required for new patients.
100% Nutrient Bioavailability — Delivered Directly to Your Cells

THE SCIENCE
How IV Therapy Works
What Happens in Your Body When Nutrients Bypass the Gut
When you take a vitamin orally, it travels through the stomach, where acid begins to break it down, and then into the small intestine, where absorption takes place across the intestinal lining and into the portal circulation. By the time the nutrient reaches general circulation and becomes available to your tissues, a significant portion of the original dose has been lost to degradation, incomplete absorption, and first-pass metabolism in the liver. This is why oral bioavailability for many vitamins and minerals is considerably lower than the amount listed on the label.
Intravenous administration changes that equation entirely. When a nutrient is delivered directly into a vein, it enters the bloodstream at 100% bioavailability. There is no degradation in the stomach, no bottleneck at the intestinal wall, and no first-pass hepatic metabolism. The full dose reaches your tissues, your organs, and your cells in the form and concentration your body can use immediately.
This is the same delivery principle that hospitals rely on when a patient needs rapid correction of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or nutrient depletion, and it is the reason IV therapy produces effects that oral supplementation simply cannot replicate at the same speed or intensity.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our Infusion Menu
Formulations Designed for Specific Needs, Not Generic Wellness Claims
Each infusion on our menu is formulated with a specific clinical purpose. Your provider can help you select the infusion that aligns with your current needs, and for patients who come in regularly, we often rotate between formulations based on how you are feeling, what your body has been through recently, and what you have coming up.
Myers' Cocktail
The original IV nutrient formula and still one of the most effective. Delivers B vitamins (B5, B6, B12, full B complex), magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C to support energy, stress response, immune function, and overall wellness. A strong starting point for new patients. Glutathione can be added to enhance antioxidant support.
NAD+ Infusion
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a coenzyme essential for mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels decline with age, contributing to reduced cognitive function, slower recovery, and diminished energy. Delivered directly into the bloodstream to support cellular energy, mental clarity, and focus. Typically a longer infusion due to slower drip rate.
Brainstorm
Formulated specifically for cognitive support — mental clarity, focus, concentration, and neurological function. Popular for patients dealing with brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or stress-related mental fatigue. Supports neurotransmitter production and neural energy metabolism.
Ultimate Immunity
High-dose immune support with concentrated vitamin C, zinc, B vitamins, and antioxidants that support immune cell function, reduce oxidative stress, and help the body mount an effective response. Patients book this at the first sign of a cold, during flu season, or before travel.
Stress Relief
Built around magnesium and B vitamins — two nutrient groups the body depletes rapidly under chronic stress. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, nerve signaling, and cortisol regulation. B vitamins support adrenal function and energy production. Designed for tension, anxiety-related symptoms, stress headaches, or deep fatigue that sleep alone does not resolve.
Athletic Recovery
Replenishes electrolytes, supports muscle recovery, reduces post-exercise soreness, and restores hydration at a cellular level. The nutrient profile targets the specific depletion patterns of intense physical exertion, helping you recover faster and return to activity genuinely restored.
Skinny Dip
Metabolism-focused infusion with lipotropic compounds and B vitamins that help the liver process and mobilize fat more efficiently. A natural complement to our medical weight loss programs. Patients on GLP-1 therapy often incorporate this infusion to support metabolic health during active weight loss.
Ultimate Hangover
A rehydration and recovery formula for the physiological effects of alcohol: nausea, dehydration, headache, electrolyte depletion, and fatigue. Restores fluids, B vitamins, magnesium, and electrolytes while helping your body clear the metabolic byproducts of alcohol significantly faster than oral rehydration alone.
Energy Boost
Targeted formula for sustained energy without the crash from caffeine or sugar. Delivers minerals, antioxidants, and B vitamins that support mitochondrial function and cellular energy production. Well suited for chronic fatigue, mineral deficiencies, high-stress periods, or weeks where energy reserves have been running low.
Get Up and Go
A lighter energy and stamina infusion for patients who want a quick boost without a full comprehensive treatment. Supports physical energy, reduces fatigue, and helps the body recover from stress or overexertion. Popular for patients who are short on time.
Younique Radiance
Our signature skin, hair, and nail support infusion. Centers on glutathione, vitamin C, and alpha-lipoic acid — three of the most potent antioxidants available for IV delivery. Glutathione detoxifies and brightens. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis. Alpha-lipoic acid regenerates other antioxidants and supports mitochondrial health. Pairs well with facial treatments and skin resurfacing procedures.
Get Hydrated
Pure intravenous hydration — isotonic saline delivered directly into the bloodstream to restore fluid volume and support circulation, kidney function, and cellular hydration. For patients dehydrated from illness, travel, heat exposure, or physical activity who need rapid fluid replenishment.
QUICK & TARGETED
Vitamin Injections
A Faster Option for Targeted Nutrient Support
For patients who want the benefits of direct nutrient delivery without the time commitment of a full IV infusion, we offer intramuscular vitamin injections at both locations. These are quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and they deliver concentrated doses of specific vitamins directly into the muscle tissue, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream over the following hours.
Vitamin B12 injections are among the most popular and are commonly requested by patients experiencing low energy, brain fog, or fatigue related to B12 deficiency, which is surprisingly common and often goes undiagnosed. Lipo-B injections, which combine methionine, inositol, choline, and B12, are frequently used as a complement to our weight loss programs to support fat metabolism and energy during active caloric reduction.
Your provider can recommend the right injection based on your current needs, and these can be administered as a standalone visit or added to any existing appointment.
IDEAL CANDIDATES
Who Benefits Most
IV Therapy as a Complement to Medical and Aesthetic Care
IV infusions are valuable on their own, but they become especially powerful when paired with other treatments at our practice. Patients in our medical weight loss program often use the Skinny Dip or Energy Boost infusions to maintain metabolic support and energy levels during active weight loss. Patients preparing for or recovering from skin resurfacing treatments like CO2 laser or Morpheus8 benefit from the antioxidant and collagen support in the Younique Radiance infusion. Patients on hormone therapy who are working to optimize their overall wellness find that regular IV sessions help address the nutrient gaps that contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and sluggish recovery.
We also see patients who come in specifically for IV therapy without any connection to another treatment. Athletes and active individuals use the Athletic Recovery infusion regularly. Professionals with demanding schedules rely on the Brainstorm or Energy Boost during high-pressure periods. Patients managing chronic fatigue, frequent illness, or the lingering effects of long-term stress find that a consistent IV schedule provides cumulative benefits that build over time.

Oxygen Bar
A Fast, Aromatherapy-Infused Boost for Focus and Energy
Most of us are running on less oxygen than our brain and body actually want. Shallow breathing, poor air quality, altitude changes, and hours spent indoors can all limit how much oxygen reaches your bloodstream. Our oxygen bar delivers purified oxygen at a higher concentration than room air, helping raise blood oxygen saturation and giving you a quick, noticeable reset.
Sessions run about 15 to 20 minutes through a comfortable nasal cannula, with a choice of aromatherapy scents to enhance the experience. Patients use it to support focus and mental clarity, recover faster after a workout, ease altitude or travel fatigue, take the edge off a headache, or bounce back after a late night. It also makes an easy add-on to any facial, injectable, or IV appointment, or a quick reset on its own.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IV Infusions: What Patients Want to Know
How long does an IV infusion take?
Most infusions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the formulation and the volume of fluid being administered. NAD+ infusions take longer, typically 90 minutes to two hours, because the molecule is better tolerated at a slower drip rate. Vitamin injections are much faster and usually take only a few minutes.
How often should I get IV therapy?
For patients looking to address a specific concern or build a foundation of support, we recommend a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 7 to 10 days apart. After the initial course, many patients transition to a maintenance schedule of one to two infusions per month depending on their lifestyle, stress levels, and overall health goals. Your provider can help you determine the right frequency.
Is IV therapy safe?
IV nutrient therapy has been used in clinical settings for decades and has a strong safety profile when administered by trained professionals. All infusions at Younique Medical Spa are prepared and administered by our clinical staff under provider supervision. Side effects are uncommon and typically mild, including slight bruising at the insertion site, a cool sensation during the infusion, or a temporary taste of vitamins. Your provider will review your medical history and any contraindications before your first treatment.
Can I get an IV infusion if I am on medication?
In most cases, yes. However, certain medications and medical conditions may require your provider to adjust the formulation or recommend a different infusion. This is why we review your medical history and current medications before administering any IV therapy. If you are on blood thinners, have kidney disease, or are being treated for a condition that affects electrolyte balance, please let your provider know during your consultation.
Will I feel a difference after one session?
Many patients report feeling more hydrated, more alert, and more energized within hours of their infusion, particularly with formulations like the Myers’ Cocktail, Energy Boost, and Ultimate Hangover. The effects of a single session are real but temporary. The cumulative benefits of a consistent treatment schedule are more substantial and longer lasting, which is why we recommend a series for patients who want meaningful, sustained improvement.
What is the difference between an IV infusion and a vitamin injection?
An IV infusion delivers a larger volume of fluids and nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a vein over the course of 30 to 60 minutes or more. A vitamin injection delivers a concentrated dose of a specific vitamin into the muscle tissue in a matter of minutes. IV infusions provide broader support and more comprehensive nutrient delivery, while injections are faster and target a single nutrient or a small combination.
Do IV infusions help with weight loss?
The Skinny Dip infusion is formulated specifically to support metabolic function and fat metabolism, and it pairs well with our GLP-1 medical weight loss programs. Lipo-B vitamin injections also support fat processing and energy during active weight loss. IV therapy alone will not cause weight loss, but it can meaningfully support the metabolic and nutritional demands of a medically supervised weight loss program.
Can I just walk in or do I need an appointment?
We encourage scheduling in advance to ensure availability, though walk-in appointments may be accommodated depending on the day and time. Contact your preferred location to check same-day availability or to book your session in advance.
