GLP-1 Program
Sculpt Smarter. Not Harder.
GLP‑1 Medical Weight Loss Program in Gunnison, CO
At Colorado Laser Spa, weight loss isn’t about shame or shortcuts—it’s about science, strategy, and self-respect. Our GLP‑1 Weight Loss Program is designed for real people with real lives, offering a medical approach that supports your body’s natural chemistry and keeps you feeling strong, energized, and in control.
We use clinician-prescribed GLP‑1 treatments, a class of peptides originally designed to support Type 2 Diabetes, now celebrated for their game-changing weight loss effects. These medications work by regulating appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving insulin sensitivity, so your body finally starts responding the way it should’ve all along.
Unlike commercial programs that leave you on your own with mystery meds and no plan, our treatment includes:
- Weekly in-office injections with consistent oversight
- Monthly consults with our medical team to track progress and side effects
- Routine bloodwork to make sure your journey is safe, effective, and sustainable
It’s not a fad. It’s not guesswork. It’s medical weight loss that actually works—with you, not against you.
So What’s in the Shot? Let’s Talk Tirzepatide.
At Colorado Laser Spa, we primarily prescribe a compounded version of tirzepatide, a powerful dual-action GLP‑1 + GIP receptor agonist that mimics the success of brand-name Mounjaro®, without the shocking price tag or insurance gymnastics.
Now, let’s get real for a second:
Tirzepatide was recently removed from the FDA’s drug shortage list, which means only very specific formulations can still be legally compounded. The one we use? It’s been slightly modified to avoid infringing on Eli Lilly’s patent while still offering the same effective metabolic support.
What that means for you:
- Same clinical benefits, legally reformulated
- Significantly more affordable than name brands
- Administered in-office, so you’re not guessing with an injection pen
- Backed by bloodwork and monthly consults to keep you safe, strong, and on track
And yes, we can prescribe Ozempic or Mounjaro if clinically indicated—but we don’t lead with those options. Why?
Because Ozempic’s side effect profile isn’t our favorite, and Mounjaro’s insurance approval process can feel like a full-time job unless you’ve got a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
Our goal? Safe, supervised, sustainable results—without the chaos.

Tarah’s 56-lb Transformation on GLP‑1 Therapy
This is our founder, our in-house Clinical Queen, Tarah Niccoli, who dropped 56 pounds (and a truckload of inflammation, fatigue, and food obsession) since starting GLP‑1 injections in May 2024.
She went from stressed, achy, and burnt-out...
To energized, empowered, and effortlessly hot. Check out her personal testimonial:
"Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t some vague “before and after” with stock models and fake smiles. This is my real body, my real journey, and my very real receipts.
I started my GLP‑1 journey in May of 2024 weighing 180 lbs on a 5’2” frame. That’s a whole lotta pressure on a petite bone structure, and honey, I felt every ounce of it. Achy joints, tanked energy, horrible sleep, and the worst part? I tried everything.
We’re talkin’ CrossFit, Olympic lifting, crash diets, macro tracking, mental breakdowns in the pantry, you name it! I was a beast in the gym for over 5 years, but for whatever reason the weight kept piling on and just... stuck. I felt defeated, frustrated, and like my body had turned against me. And it finally did with a wrist and elbow injury.
Enter: Tirzepatide
Within weeks, my energy came back, joints stopped screaming, and the scale started doing something wild, moving in the right direction.
I’ve lost 56 pounds (yep, back to my pre-baby wedding dress size), and here’s the kicker:
- I now train just 3–4 days a week, focusing on progressive overload lifting
- I sprinkle in cardio if I feel like it—not because I have to
- I eat high-protein, high-fiber whole foods (with wine and treats because... balance)
- And the best part? The food noise is gone.
No more late-night pantry raids. No more guilt over goldfish crackers or finishing my daughter’s snacks. Just... peace in my body. Finally.
This isn’t a magic shot. It’s the reset I never thought I’d get, and now I’m louder, lighter, and enjoying loads of confidence”
— Tarah Niccoli, Medical Aesthetician, Certified Glow Dealer

GLP-1 FAQ
Let's Get Personal
How does Tirzepatide actually work for weight loss?
Tirzepatide mimics natural gut hormones (GLP‑1 and GIP) that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and how your body stores fat. It slows digestion, reduces hunger, and improves insulin sensitivity, so your body starts responding more efficiently to food, finally letting go of stubborn weight.
Is the compounded version safe?
Yes. We only use legally compounded tirzepatide from licensed U.S. pharmacies that meet strict safety standards. Our version is slightly reformulated to stay FDA-compliant while delivering the same effects. And every patient is monitored through labs and monthly check-ins to ensure safety throughout treatment.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice less hunger and more energy within 1–2 weeks. Visible weight loss often begins around week 3–4, with bigger changes showing up by weeks 8–12.
Will this help with PCOS or insulin resistance?
Yes, GLP‑1s are especially helpful for women with PCOS, insulin resistance, or metabolic dysfunction. They reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar, and help your body respond to food the way it was meant to. Translation? Less bloating, better cycles, and easier weight loss.
Do I have to inject myself?
Nope! You’ll receive weekly in-office injections, so we handle everything for you—no pens, no at-home guesswork, no “did I do this right?” stress.
Can I use my insurance for this?
Insurance may cover brand-name medications like Mounjaro if you have a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, but most patients opt for the affordable compounded version, which isn’t covered by insurance. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through all your options.
Will I gain weight back if I stop?
Not if you play it smart. That’s why our program includes long-term lifestyle support and metabolic check-ins. Think of it like training your body into a new normal. We’re not in the business of bounce-back weight gain.
Is it safe to stay on GLP-1s long-term?
For many, yes. But safety depends on your personal health, labs, and goals. That’s why we monitor every patient closely and adjust your plan as needed. Some patients taper off once they hit their goal, while others continue on a maintenance dose.
Will it make me lose too much weight?
It can if you're not being monitored properly, and that’s not how we do things here. Our GLP‑1 program is customized and closely supervised, with regular labs and check-ins to adjust your dose as needed. The goal is healthy, sustainable weight loss, not frailty. You’ll never be left to waste away, we’re sculpting, not starving.
Because transformation deserves a full-body encore.
