Letybo in Newnan, Georgia

What Is Letybo?

Letybo (LetibotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum toxin product that works by temporarily preventing targeted muscles from contracting. This action helps smooth the appearance of dynamic lines that form with repeated facial movement. It belongs to the category of wrinkle relaxer treatments and offers a similar mechanism of action to other neuromodulators available today. Although it was only approved for aesthetic use in the United States in 2023, Letybo has been widely used internationally for years. It is manufactured by Hugel, a South Korean company, and has been available in countries throughout Asia, Europe, and South America. With its growing reputation globally, it is now another tool we can offer to help address movement-based facial lines.

What Is Letybo Used For?

Letybo is used to help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are the lines caused by repeated facial movements like squinting, raising your brows, or frowning. These lines tend to become more visible over time, even when your face is at rest. By relaxing the muscles that create these expressions, Letybo can give the skin a smoother look in treated areas. If you’re wondering how to get rid of frown lines, Letybo is one option to consider. It targets the small muscles between the brows that pull the skin into a furrowed shape. Softening this activity can reduce the depth of existing lines and may help keep them from deepening further.

How Does Letybo Work?

Like other botulinum-based products, Letybo blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is essential for triggering muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, it interrupts this signal, which helps prevent the repetitive motions that cause wrinkles to form. The result is a gradual smoothing effect that typically begins to show within a few days and continues to improve over the first week after treatment.

What Makes Letybo Unique?

Letybo is known for its highly purified formulation and smooth consistency, which some providers find helpful for precise placement. It has a lower protein load compared to some other neuromodulators, which may influence how the body responds to it. Injections are smooth, and results are soft and natural.

How Is Letybo Different From Other Neuromodulators? 

While Letybo provides results similar to other neuromodulators, some differences in formulation, diffusion, and preparation may make one option more suitable than another for specific patients. Here’s how it compares to other wrinkle relaxers we offer.

Botox®

Botox has been available in the U.S. since 2002 and is one of the most widely used neuromodulators. Like Letybo, it contains botulinum toxin type A, but its proprietary formulation includes a complexing protein structure. The differences in how each product is prepared and stored can affect patient experience or provider preference, but both are used to treat similar areas with consistent outcomes.

Dysport®

Dysport is known for having a slightly different diffusion pattern compared to other neuromodulators, which may make it a good option for broader treatment areas. It also has a different unit measurement system and is more dilute. Patients sometimes report noticing results a bit sooner with Dysport, though all three products typically reach full effect within about a week.

Xeomin

Xeomin is often described as a “naked” injectable because it contains only the active botulinum toxin without any accessory proteins. This can reduce the chance of developing antibodies over time in certain patients. Letybo includes stabilizing proteins similar to those in Botox and Dysport, which makes it slightly different in structure and handling compared to Xeomin.

The Benefits of Letybo Injections

• Minimally Invasive With No Downtime: There are no incisions or recovery periods required, so you can return to your usual activities after leaving our office. Some patients experience minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, but it usually fades within hours.
• Quick Treatment Sessions: Most appointments take just 10 to 15 minutes once we begin the injections. You can easily fit it into a lunch break or a short window during the day without needing to rearrange your schedule.
• Natural-Looking Facial Expressions: We place injections to relax targeted muscles while preserving your natural ability to express yourself. Letybo smoothes lines without creating a frozen or overdone appearance.
• Perfect for First-Time Users: If you have never tried a neuromodulator before, Letybo can be a good starting point. Many patients find the experience comfortable, and the effects feel subtle and gradual as they take shape.
• Alternative for Those Who Have Built Tolerance to Other Products: In some cases, patients may find that another neuromodulator no longer produces the same results with time. Switching to a different formulation, like Letybo, can offer a new response, especially if your body has adjusted to a previous product.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Letybo?

Most patients who are generally healthy and want to soften the appearance of movement-based lines can be considered for Letybo injections. We evaluate your medical history, skin condition, and prior experience with neuromodulators to determine if it is a good fit for you. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are in overall good health with no active infections or neurological conditions
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have realistic expectations about what Letybo can do
• Are looking for a minimally invasive treatment option
• Have used other neuromodulators in the past and want to try a different formulation
• Are new to wrinkle relaxers and want to start with a gentle, effective option

What to Expect Before Your Treatment

Before we begin, we will review your medical history and any experience you have had with neuromodulators. We will also look at your facial movement and discuss the areas you would like to treat, so we can plan for balanced, subtle results. If you are currently taking any medications or supplements, we may recommend pausing certain ones that could increase the chance of bruising. You will not need to do anything special before your visit, but we do suggest arriving with a clean face and no makeup in the treatment areas. Patients often come in for anti-wrinkle injections during the week and return to normal routines right after.

What Is the Letybo Treatment Process Like?

We begin by cleansing the skin and reviewing your treatment plan to confirm where we will place each injection. Using a small, fine needle, we inject Letybo into the targeted facial muscles, using the formulation at several different points for even results. The sensation is brief with little to no discomfort. The entire process usually takes less than 15 minutes, depending on how many areas we treat.

Aftercare and Post-Treatment Instructions

After your appointment, keep your head upright for at least four hours. You can stay active, but don’t do any overly strenuous exercises. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas, and wait at least 24 hours before using makeup or undergoing other facial treatments. Stay out of saunas, hot tubs, and environments with high heat for the first day, and try to limit alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for the next 24 to 48 hours to help minimize bruising.

When Will You See Results From Letybo?

You may start noticing subtle changes within three to five days as the treated muscles begin to relax. The full effect usually appears around day seven to ten, though the exact timeline varies from person to person. Results build gradually, so do not worry if the result does not look final right away. Once you have your full results, you can schedule a follow-up appointment to make any small adjustments.
