HOBBS & ALBUQUERQUE, NM
Medical Weight Loss in Hobbs and Albuquerque, NM
Most people who struggle with their weight already know what to eat and how to move. The real obstacle is biological. Hunger, metabolism, and fat storage are driven by a hormonal system that actively resists weight loss, and willpower alone was never a fair fight against that response.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have changed what is possible without surgery, engaging your body’s own hormonal pathways to regulate appetite and fat metabolism with a potency that natural signaling cannot sustain on its own. At Younique Medical Spa, our programs at both locations are built around these medications and supported by provider-supervised dosing, Fit Manager body composition tracking, Lipo-B injections, IV infusions, and vitamin support. Our semaglutide is compounded with L-carnitine to further support fat metabolism and energy production. *All GLP-1 Patients Receive 1 free iv-infusion EVERY month!
Patients can choose between in-house injections on a pay-as-you-go basis or take-home vials for self-injection at home.
All weight loss treatments at Younique Medical Spa are prescribed and monitored by licensed providers. We do not sell medication without clinical oversight. Every patient receives an evaluation, ongoing check-ins, and access to complementary wellness services to support their progress.
All treatments prescribed and supervised by licensed providers.
Clinical Results That Rival Bariatric Surgery — Without Going Under the Knife

THE SCIENCE
Why These Medications Work When Diets Alone Often Do Not
To understand why GLP-1 medications produce such significant results, it helps to understand what they are correcting. In a healthy metabolic system, a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is released by the gut after eating. It signals the brain that food has arrived, promotes insulin secretion to manage blood sugar, slows gastric emptying so nutrients are absorbed more gradually, and reduces appetite so you stop eating when you have had enough. In patients who struggle with weight, these signals are often blunted, poorly timed, or overwhelmed by competing hormonal cues that promote hunger and fat storage.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are synthetic analogs of GLP-1 that mimic and amplify these natural signals. They bind to the same receptors your body already uses, but with greater potency and a much longer duration of action. A single weekly injection maintains steady-state hormone signaling for seven full days, giving your brain consistent input that recalibrates hunger, satiety, and metabolic function in a way that short-acting natural GLP-1 cannot sustain on its own.
The result, supported by large-scale, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, is meaningful and sustained weight reduction that most patients have never been able to achieve through behavioral changes alone.
YOUR OPTIONS
Semaglutide, Tirzepatide & Lipo-B
Your provider will recommend the medication that best fits your health profile, your goals, and your timeline. Both GLP-1 medications have strong clinical evidence behind them. Lipo-B injections complement either as a weekly metabolic support tool.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide gained FDA approval for chronic weight management in 2021 under the brand name Wegovy, following the landmark STEP trial program. In the STEP 1 trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, participants receiving semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly achieved an average weight loss of approximately 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to 2.4% in the placebo group. Participants also showed improvements in waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and markers of systemic inflammation. At Younique Medical Spa, our semaglutide is compounded with L-carnitine to further support fat metabolism and energy production.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that activates both the GLP-1 receptor and the GIP receptor. By engaging both pathways simultaneously, tirzepatide produces effects that exceed those of GLP-1 agonists alone. The SURMOUNT-1 trial demonstrated average weight reductions of 15% to 21% depending on dose, with a significant proportion of participants achieving weight loss exceeding 25% of their starting body weight. These numbers rival the outcomes historically associated with bariatric surgery, achieved through a weekly subcutaneous injection.
Lipo-B Injections
Lipo-B injections are a lipotropic formula that combines methionine, inositol, choline, and vitamin B12. These compounds support the liver’s ability to process and mobilize fat, promote healthy metabolism of fatty acids, and provide an energy boost that many patients find helpful during active weight loss. Many of our patients incorporate Lipo-B into their weekly routine alongside their GLP-1 medication.
TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS
Fit Manager Body Composition Analysis
A bathroom scale tells you one number. That number does not distinguish between fat, muscle, water, and bone. At Younique Medical Spa, we track your progress with the Fit Manager body composition system, which measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat levels, and body water distribution. It also assesses skeletal alignment, including spinal curvature and hip positioning. This data allows us to monitor whether you are losing fat while preserving muscle, which is one of the most important indicators of healthy, sustainable weight loss.
Patients who rely solely on scale weight often become discouraged during periods where the number stalls, even though their body composition may be improving significantly. The Fit Manager removes that ambiguity and keeps both you and your provider focused on the metrics that actually matter.
COMPLEMENTARY SUPPORT
IV Infusions, Vitamins, and Walk-In Labs
Weight loss places real physiological demands on the body. As caloric intake decreases and fat stores are mobilized, nutritional gaps can develop. Patients may experience fatigue, brain fog, or sluggishness, particularly in the early weeks of treatment. Our IV infusions and vitamin injections are designed to fill those gaps and help you feel your best throughout the process.
Vitamin injections, including B12 and Lipo-B, offer a quicker option for patients who want metabolic and energy support without a full IV session. Both of our locations also offer walk-in laboratory testing. Monitoring metabolic markers, thyroid function, blood sugar, and lipid panels helps your provider make informed adjustments to your treatment plan. Every GLP-1 Patient at Younique receives 1 free iv infusion each month on a weight loss program!
OUR APPROACH
How Our Weight Loss Program Works
Our weight loss program starts with a clinical evaluation of your medical history, past efforts, and goals. If GLP-1 therapy is suitable, we select the best medication, set expectations, and discuss timeline and side effects.
Treatment includes regular check-ins to monitor response, review body composition data, manage side effects, and adjust dosing. Medication is gradually titrated to minimize gastrointestinal issues.
We offer comprehensive support services at both locations, including IV infusions, vitamin injections, Lipo-B injections for fat metabolism, and walk-in labs for convenient bloodwork. Everything is under one roof, supervised by providers who know your history.
CANDIDACY
Who Is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss
GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for adults who meet specific clinical criteria, and your provider will confirm your eligibility during your consultation. In general, patients who have struggled with weight loss despite consistent efforts with diet and exercise are often strong candidates. There are certain conditions that may affect your eligibility — including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, history of pancreatitis or gallbladder disease, and certain medications that may interact with GLP-1 therapy. Your provider will review your full medical history during your evaluation to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
