About Us

Embarking on a weight loss journey with GLP-1 treatments, such as semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy), is a powerful step toward improved health and well-being. These medications aid in weight reduction by mimicking the glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and blood sugar.

However, significant weight loss can sometimes come with aesthetic changes—most notably, facial volume loss and skin laxity—often referred to as "Ozempic face."

At JECT, we help ensure that your outer appearance reflects your inner vitality. Our advanced medical aesthetic treatments are designed to preserve facial harmony and support your glow through every stage of your transformation.

Understanding the Aesthetic Implications of GLP-1 Treatments

GLP-1 receptor agonists have revolutionized weight management. But rapid weight loss can lead to loss of subcutaneous fat, causing the face to appear gaunt or aged. Common areas affected include the:

• Cheeks
• Temples
• Jawline
  ‍

Sculptra: Restoring Volume Through Collagen Stimulation

Sculptra offers a proactive solution by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike fillers that add volume instantly, Sculptra works gradually to:

• Restore facial fullness
• Improve skin elasticity
• Enhance overall skin texture

It’s an ideal treatment for addressing global volume loss while supporting long-term skin resilience.

Complementary Treatments at JECT

In addition to Sculptra, we offer a full suite of treatments to address facial volume loss and skin laxity:

• Hyaluronic Acid-Based Fillers & Skin Boosters

Provide immediate volume, smooth fine lines, and contour facial features with natural-looking results.

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Stimulates collagen and elastin, improves firmness, and rejuvenates skin texture—especially effective post-weight loss.

How GLP-1 Affects Facial Aging—Decade by Decade

Every face is shaped by age, genetics, and lifestyle. GLP-1 treatments can speed up visible facial changes, so our approach evolves based on your life stage:

In Your 20s: Subtle Shifts, Strong Collagen

• Skin is resilient, with high collagen levels.
• Rapid fat loss may cause subtle hollowing of cheeks or under-eyes.

Treatment Approach:
Light fillers to restore volume without overcorrection. Consider early Sculptra for collagen support.

In Your 30s: Volume Loss and Texture Changes

• Collagen production slows.
• Noticeable volume loss in the midface and smile lines.
• Skin may start to look less plump.

Treatment Approach:
Sculptra to rebuild collagen. HA fillers for structural support. Skin Boosters to maintain hydration and glow.

In Your 40s: Collagen Decline Meets Fat Loss

• Volume loss becomes more dramatic.
• Temples, under-eyes, and cheeks may look sunken.
• Jawline may soften.

Treatment Approach:
Sculptra for overall volume restoration. HA fillers for specific structural correction. Injectables to smooth lines.

In Your 50s & Beyond: Laxity and Structural Changes

• Skin is thinner, less elastic.
• Loss is more visible in lower face, jawline, and neck.

Treatment Approach:
Sculptra for long-term collagen stimulation. Volumizing fillers in cheeks or chin for lift and support.
