What Letybo® treats
Letybo® (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg), made by Hugel, was approved by the FDA in 2024 to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines in adults. It had been widely used in South Korea for years before arriving in the U.S.
Frown lines
The vertical 11s between the eyebrows, the area Letybo® is approved for.
How it works
It relaxes the small muscles that pull the brows together.
Who it suits
Adults who want an alternative to Botox® for the same area.
Want to treat the forehead or crow's feet too? Botox® is approved for those areas.

Side effects to know about
Possible side effects include headache, mild bruising or discomfort at the injection site and, less often, a temporarily drooping eyelid. Like all botulinum toxin products, Letybo® carries a warning that the effect can spread beyond the injection site; in its clinical studies at the cosmetic dose, no serious cases were reported.

Letybo® in Newport Beach: common questions
Something else on your mind? Send us a text and our team will answer.
Is Letybo the same as Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A and work the same way, by relaxing the muscles that cause frown lines. They are different formulas from different manufacturers. Letybo® is approved for frown lines; Botox® Cosmetic is also approved for forehead lines and crow's feet.
Is Letybo FDA-approved?
Yes. The FDA approved Letybo® in 2024 for moderate to severe frown lines in adults, based on three phase III trials with more than 1,000 participants.
When will I see results?
Changes usually start within a few days, with the full effect at about two weeks.
How long does Letybo last?
Several months. Most patients repeat treatment around every three to four months, as with other neurotoxins.

Letybo® is priced by the number of units your treatment needs. You get an exact quote at your consultation.
