Letybo is the latest player in the ever-growing neuromodulator market, offering another option for those seeking to smooth out wrinkles and lines. While it may be the new kid on the block in the U.S., Letybo is actually a seasoned veteran globally, having already made a name for itself as the top-selling neurotoxin in South Korea under the brand name Botulax.
So rest assured, this isn’t some fly-by-night formula – Letybo comes with an established track record of safety and efficacy. Like its neuromodulator cousins Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau, Letybo features botulinum toxin type A as its active ingredient. Once injected, it gets to work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger responsible for triggering muscle contractions. This temporary paralysis allows the targeted muscles to relax, softening the appearance of overlying lines and wrinkles.
While Letybo won’t necessarily deliver results longer than all other brands, you can expect to start seeing its line-smoothing magic within just 2-3 days, putting it on the quicker end of the onset spectrum. As for how long your refreshed look will last, bank on a solid 3-4 months, right in line with the other neurotoxins out there.
Where Letybo may really shine is as an alternative for those who haven’t had optimal results with Botox in the past. Individual anatomy and cellular makeup can cause some patients to respond differently to certain formulations, so Letybo’s unique composition could be just the ticket for these “Botox non-responders.”
All in all, Letybo is a solid and well-established choice for anyone considering dipping their toe (or frown lines) into the world of injectables.
