What is Letybo?
Letybo is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It’s most commonly used to treat frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Manufactured by Hugel, a global leader in aesthetics, Letybo is known for its purity, stability, and precise, natural-looking results.
How does Letybo compare to Botox?
Both Letybo and Botox contain botulinum toxin type A and work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. The key differences include:
- Formulation: Letybo has a highly purified structure for smooth, predictable results.
- Onset: Letybo may start working slightly faster—typically within 3 days.
- Diffusion: Letybo spreads in a controlled, targeted way, making it ideal for precise applications.
Ultimately, both are highly effective. During your consultation, Liana will help you determine which is best for your needs.
What areas can Letybo treat?
Letybo is FDA-approved for glabellar lines (frown lines), but it’s also commonly used off-label by skilled injectors to treat:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands
- Jawline definition (Nefertiti lift)
- Masseter muscles (jaw slimming)
- Gummy smile
- Eyebrow lift
How long does Letybo last?
Letybo results typically last 3 to 4 months, though this can vary based on your metabolism, muscle strength, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance appointments help sustain your results year-round.
Is there downtime after Letybo injections?
There’s no downtime with Letybo. You may experience slight swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects are mild and short-lived. Most patients return to work or social activities immediately after treatment.
When will I see results?
You may begin to see results as early as 3 days after treatment, with full effects visible within 7 to 10 days.
What should I do before and after treatment?
Before:
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinners (like ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E) for 24–48 hours.
- Let Liana know about any medications or supplements you’re taking.
After:
- Stay upright for 4–6 hours
- Avoid workouts, facials, or rubbing the treated area for 24 hours
- Sleep on your back the first night
- Gently apply makeup the next day (no heavy pressure)
Can Letybo lift my eyebrows or jawline?
Yes! When injected with precision, Letybo can create a subtle eyebrow lift or define the jawline using the Nefertiti lift technique. These non-surgical solutions offer noticeable improvement in facial contour and symmetry with no downtime.
Can I combine Letybo with other treatments?
Absolutely. Letybo pairs beautifully with:
- Dermal fillers (for volume and contour)
- Microneedling or RF treatments (for texture and tone)
- Medical-grade skincare (for long-term anti-aging support)
Liana takes a pan-facial approach, evaluating your face as a whole to recommend the most effective treatment plan.
Am I too young to start Letybo?
Not at all. Many clients in their 20s and 30s choose Letybo as a preventative treatment to reduce expression lines before they become deeper wrinkles. Early treatments can preserve youthful skin and delay the need for more aggressive procedures later in life.
Is Letybo safe?
Yes, Letybo is FDA-approved and has a long history of safe use internationally. It is manufactured under strict quality controls and has demonstrated excellent safety and efficacy in clinical trials. When administered by an experienced provider like Liana, side effects are minimal and uncommon.
How much does Letybo cost?
Letybo is competitively priced and typically comparable to Botox and Dysport. Pricing is based on the number of units used and the areas treated and can vary from $12 to $13 a unit. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized quote tailored to your goals and budget.
