Letybo®
There are several options available today to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movement. One of the most recent products to come to the U.S. is Letybo. Letybo works similarly to Botox®, but its formulation and performance characteristics may make it more suitable for certain people.
At Severn River Medspa, we offer this injectable for patients who want fewer wrinkles without surgical intervention. If you are in Severna Park, Annapolis, or any of the surrounding areas, you can schedule a consultation with us to learn more about our injectable options.
What Is Letybo?
Letybo is a neuromodulator product that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It’s part of the same family of treatments as Botox and Dysport®, but it features a slightly different formulation that influences how it spreads and settles in the skin. It is newer to the U.S. market, but it is the most commonly used neurotoxin in South Korea, where it has been on the market for around a decade.
How Does Letybo Work?
Letybo contains botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that blocks the nerve signals that cause your muscles to contract. When we inject the product into the muscle, it helps reduce repetitive movements that lead to frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. This product offers a softer, more rested appearance while still allowing your face to be expressive.

What Are the Benefits of Letybo?
Treats Dynamic Lines and Wrinkles on the Face
Letybo targets the active muscles in your face that cause lines around the eyes and on the forehead because of the way the muscle contractions make the skin move. Letybo is approved for glabellar lines, the creases that form between the eyebrows when you frown, but it is often used to treat other wrinkles like crow’s feet or horizontal forehead lines.
Prevents New Wrinkles
Consistent Letybo treatments can help slow the development of new wrinkles by minimizing repetitive muscle movements that crease the skin. Relaxing those muscles gives the skin a chance to rest, which helps preserve a smoother look as the years pass. Regular maintenance sessions help extend the benefits and keep expression lines from becoming more pronounced.
Convenient, Non-Surgical Treatments
Appointments for Letybo usually last less than half an hour, and there is also little to no downtime after the treatment. While the treatment does involve injections, it does not involve invasive techniques of surgery like incisions. It is easy to fit into your schedule, and it won’t be obvious that you have had a cosmetic treatment, except for the refreshed results several days after your appointment.
What to Expect During Your Letybo Treatment
Before Your Treatment
During your Letybo consultation, we will talk about your goals and evaluate your facial anatomy so we can determine the best injection points and make sure this neuromodulator is a good fit. We may ask you to temporarily pause certain medications or supplements that can increase bruising, such as aspirin or fish oil. It can also be helpful to avoid alcohol for several days before your appointment to minimize swelling. We will cleanse the area before injections, but you can make your appointment easier by arriving without makeup or other products on your face.
During Your Treatment
A Letybo appointment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. We use a fine needle to inject small amounts of the product into specific muscles that cause wrinkles. A topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort to reduce the pinch of the needle. Once your injections are complete, you can immediately return to your normal routine.
After Your Treatment
You’ll be given simple aftercare instructions to support the best results. We recommend that you avoid rubbing or massaging the areas that we injected for at least 24 hours so the product settles properly. Certain activities should be avoided, like strenuous exercise, saunas, or lying flat right after your treatment. Mild redness or swelling is common after Letybo injections, but should resolve within a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a more specific question? We’re here to answer.
Both Letybo and Botox are types of neurotoxins that relax facial muscles and reduce expression lines. The main difference lies in their formulation and how the product spreads beneath the skin, which can influence the smoothness and longevity of results. Letybo may have more targeted diffusion than Botox, depending on the treatment area and dosage. It also has a faster onset for some patients than Botox.
Ideal candidates are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what injectables can offer. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions may need to postpone treatment or choose something different.
Results from Letybo generally last between three and four months, though duration can differ depending on how your body metabolizes the product. Areas with stronger muscle activity may see movement return a bit sooner, while smaller treatment zones with less movement may hold results slightly longer.
