Letybo Sherman Oaks, CA
Letybo is a safe and effective aesthetic procedure similar to Botox that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The procedure works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles and blocking muscle contractions to reduce the scrunching up of the skin to deliver a younger-looking, smoother result. This nonsurgical treatment is ideal for individuals looking for refreshed and rejuvenated skin without going under the knife.
What is Letybo?
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator administered by injection at Cosmetic Injectables Center Medspa in Sherman Oaks. Like other botulinum toxin type A products (Botox / onabotulinumtoxinA, Dysport / abobotulinumtoxinA, Xeomin / incobotulinumtoxinA, Jeuveau / prabotulinumtoxinA, and Daxxify / daxibotulinumtoxinA), Letybo blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily reducing muscle activity in the targeted facial expression muscles to soften dynamic fine lines and wrinkles.
Letybo received FDA approval in February 2024 for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) in adults. Off-label use in other facial regions follows the same anatomical and dosing principles applied to other botulinum toxin type A products. Patients in Sherman Oaks and greater Los Angeles select Letybo for the same indications they would consider Botox or Dysport; final selection is made during consultation based on dosing, onset, longevity, and per-unit price.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical, affordable, and accessible treatment for younger and healthier-looking skin, Letybo may be the right treatment. Our experienced practitioners at Cosmetic Injectables Center and Medspa say that it’s a great Botox alternative that provides faster, visible results.
Letybo Benefits
Letybo provides a noninvasive procedure that provides an effective treatment for reducing compacting wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure is fast, usually tolerable, and requires little to no downtime.
How long will the results last?
Results can last for about 3 to 6 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and dosage used. Over time, the muscle movement returns back to normal, but you can extend your results with regular maintenance touch-ups.
What Results to Expect:
- Minimizes the Look of Frown Lines: Targets the muscle responsible for frown lines and helps to soften and smooth their appearance.
- Off Label Use to reduce many other unwanted lines and enhance lifting features: Letybo can be used to reduce crows feet, bunny lines, forehead wrinkling, neck bands, lip lines, and enhance lifting of brows and corners of lips as well as opening up of the eyes. Many other uses exist and can be discussed at your visit.
- Fast and Visible results: Many patients see visible results after a few days (3-10 days) of treatment.
- Natural Results: Treatment doesn’t leave a stiff or frozen look when done by skilled providers, but maintains your natural facial expressions.
- Safe and Tolerable procedure: The procedure is generally safe with few reported cases of side effects.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can resume daily activities after treatment.

How the Procedure Works
When injected, Letybo pauses muscle movement to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face. The procedure can also be used to enhance facial features like fixing downturned lips, uneven eye sizes, neck bands, etc.
Before & Preparation
One of our experts will walk you through the procedure to help you know what to expect. During the consultation, the provider will:
- Ask about your medical history, including previous cosmetic procedures, allergies, or medications.
- Learn your goals for the procedure
- Share any risks involved in the treatment.
You will have instructions on what to avoid via digital confirmation of your appointment. The provider will also expand further about before and after care things to do or avoid for best results.
- During the procedure, the provider will inject Letybo into the targeted muscles using an extremely fine needle for your comfort.
- You may experience slight pinching during the injections, but it’s usually tolerable.
- Avoid using blood thinning medications like aspirin and alcohol for at least 24 to 48 hours before treatment.
During the Procedure
- Duration: 10-15 minutes
- Equipment used: Sterile Syringe
- Pain: Local anesthetic available
- Step-by-step guide:
- Our expert will clean the treatment area properly
- Our provider may apply the anesthetic
- Injection sites are carefully selected to avoid unintended muscles
- Intramuscular injections are administered
- There will be a feeling of pinching when the injection is administered
Letybo onset typically begins within 3 to 7 days after injection, with full effect observed at approximately 14 days. The duration of effect typically ranges from 3 to 4 months in most patients, consistent with other botulinum toxin type A products.
Repeat sessions are scheduled at the patient’s individual return-of-movement interval; over time, some patients require slightly fewer units per session as the targeted muscles adapt to consistent dosing.
Aftercare & Recovery
After the treatment, you may notice discomfort or swelling.
Here are some things to note:
-
Avoid touching or rubbing treated areas for 4 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended muscles.
-
Avoid lying down, exercise, bending over, or hot sauna/shower for 4 hours to reduce risk of product being washed away from the area of injection by your circulatory system.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Letybo is best for adults looking for a non-surgical procedure to manage the appearance of facial wrinkles and features.
Here are some contraindications to note:
- Active skin infections or inflammation in the areas to be injected are contraindications until resolved
- Pregnant and breastfeeding moms are advised to postpone treatments
- Patients with neuromuscular disorders should consult their doctor before proceeding with treatment
- Individuals with hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or any ingredient in Letybo should skip the procedure.
- Typical Age: Letybo is suitable for adults, but most patients tend to be between 18 and 85 years old. However, the key consideration for this treatment isn’t age but genetic makeup of muscle positions, skin condition and muscle activity.
- Weight: There are no specific weight requirements for this procedure. But, high or low metabolism can impact longevity and efficiency of Letybo.
Similar & Related Procedures
- Botox: Botox is a popular injectable treatment that targets fine lines and wrinkles. It temporarily relaxes the facial muscles to even out wrinkles on the skin.
- Dysport: Dysport is used to treat facial wrinkles on broader skin surfaces as it can spread a little after injection. The treatment is best for areas such as neck bands as it diffuses widely across the injected area and requires fewer injections.
- Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers help to address static wrinkles by adding substances (gel) beneath the skin. It helps by filling deep lines, enhancing cheeks, lips, and jawlines, and correcting facial asymmetry without impacting muscles.
Letybo is the fifth FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator on the US market, joining Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA, AbbVie), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA, Galderma), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA, Merz), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA, Evolus), and Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA, Revance). The five products differ in: per-unit pricing (Letybo and Jeuveau typically price below Botox and Daxxify per unit, but unit-to-unit potency is not 1:1 across products); onset (most products begin to take effect within 3 to 7 days); duration (Daxxify typically lasts 6 months while the others last 3 to 4 months); and accessory proteins (Xeomin is the only “pure” toxin without complexing proteins).
At Cosmetic Injectables Center Medspa, the choice between Letybo and the alternative neuromodulators is made during consultation based on dosing equivalency, treatment goals, and the patient’s prior response history.

Letybo is an alternative, lower-priced treatment to Botox. Also, the procedure may deliver slightly faster results compared to Botox.
Is Letybo approved in the US?
Yes, Letybo is FDA approved for frown line treatment in the US.
How does Letybo compare with Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify?
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA) is the fifth FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator on the US market and acts via the same mechanism as Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA), and Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA). The products differ in per-unit pricing, onset (most begin within 3 to 7 days), duration (Daxxify typically lasts 6 months while the others last 3 to 4 months), and accessory protein content (Xeomin is “pure” toxin). Unit-to-unit potency is not 1:1 across products, so the dosing equivalency the provider establishes is product-specific. The choice between Letybo and the alternatives is made during consultation at Cosmetic Injectables Center Medspa.
What are Letybo's most common side effects?
The most common side effects observed with Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA) are headache, eyelid drooping (ptosis), brow drooping, mild redness or bruising at the injection site, and dry eye, consistent with the side-effect profile of other botulinum toxin type A products.

How long does Letybo take to kick in?
The toxin can start to work as soon as 3 days after the muscles are injected. However, it takes about a week or two to notice visible changes.
How much does Letybo cost per unit?
The price of Letybo at Cosmetic Injectables Center Medspa is structured $11 to $14 per unit, consistent with the standard pricing convention for botulinum toxin type A products; the published per-unit range is listed in the Cost & Pricing Structure section above. Total session cost is determined by the number of units required for the treatment area (typical glabellar dosing is 20 units; forehead and crow’s feet add additional units), the patient’s muscle mass and movement strength, and the dosing equivalency the provider establishes against prior Botox / Dysport / Xeomin sessions. Patients in Sherman Oaks and greater Los Angeles schedule a consultation to receive an individualized estimate before the first session.
