Letybo®
What Is Letybo?
Letybo is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that smooths moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows) in adults. Scientifically known as letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg, it’s the newest botulinum toxin type A available in the U.S. Developed with a high-purity, low-protein formulation, Letybo may reduce resistance risk and deliver a more refined, natural-looking result. At For A New You, it offers an elegant blend of science and subtlety—so your skin reflects how vibrant you truly feel.
Areas Letybo Can Treat
If you’re navigating the visible signs of stress, aging, or simply time doing its thing, Letybo may offer the subtle refresh you’ve been seeking. This treatment is ideal for addressing:
- Frown lines (“11s”) between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead creases
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- A downturned mouth
While Letybo is currently FDA-approved specifically for treating glabellar lines, Dr. Preussner may recommend it for other facial areas based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
How It Works
Letybo uses a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to gently relax the underlying muscles that cause expression lines. Here’s how it all comes together:
- Muscle Mapping: Dr. Preussner begins by assessing your unique facial anatomy. This ensures Letybo is placed with precision, targeting only the muscles responsible for unwanted creasing.
- Micro-Injection Delivery: Using a fine needle, Letybo is injected into the chosen areas. Each injection takes seconds, and the overall session is typically completed in under 15 minutes.
- Neuromuscular Response: The active ingredient works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the treated muscles. As those muscles relax, the overlying skin begins to smooth.
- Natural Rejuvenation: Rather than freezing your expression, Letybo helps soften and refine it—so you still look like you, just more rested.
Letybo Benefits
- Ultra-Smooth Finish: Thanks to its high-purity formulation, Letybo offers elegant diffusion that creates a smooth, refined look—without stiffness or a frozen feel.
- Subtle Confidence Boost: Whether you're preparing for a milestone event or simply want to feel more energized when you look in the mirror, Letybo provides that subtle but satisfying lift.
- Faster Onset of Results: Some clients begin noticing changes within just 2 to 3 days, faster than with many traditional neurotoxins.
- Reduced Risk of Resistance: With fewer complexing proteins, Letybo may lower the likelihood of your body building resistance over time—especially important for long-term users.
- Minimal Downtime: Letybo treatments require little to no recovery time. You can return to your day almost immediately with nothing more than a touch of post-treatment glow.
- An Innovative Option: As the newest neuromodulator approved in the U.S., Letybo brings international credibility and modern refinement to the field of aesthetic medicine.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Letybo
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Barbara Preussner. Together, you’ll discuss your concerns, review your facial anatomy, and build a customized treatment plan. No prep is usually needed beyond arriving with a clean face and an open mind.
Preparation tip: Arrive with a clean face, and avoid alcohol or blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior unless advised otherwise.
The treatment itself is quick and comfortable. Most sessions last about 10–15 minutes. You may feel a slight pinch with each injection, but discomfort is minimal. Clients often describe it as easier than expected.
There’s typically no downtime. You may notice mild redness or swelling around the injection sites, but these effects are short-lived. Dr. Preussner will provide aftercare guidance, including avoiding strenuous exercise and facial massage for 24 hours.
You may start seeing smoother skin in as little as 2 to 3 days, with full results visible at the 10- to 14-day mark. Results generally last about 4 months. We recommend touch-up treatments 3 to 4 times per year to maintain your refreshed look.
Is Letybo Right For You?
Letybo is ideal for adults seeking a gentle yet effective way to soften expression lines without altering their natural look. It’s well-suited for both first-time neurotoxin clients and seasoned users looking for an alternative option. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have certain neuromuscular conditions, Letybo may not be recommended. The best way to know?

Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How is Letybo different from Botox or Dysport?
While all three are FDA-approved neuromodulators, Letybo is known for its refined consistency, smooth diffusion, and high-purity formulation. It contains fewer complexing proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance over time and create more natural-looking results.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients only need one treatment session every 3 to 4 months. However, if it’s your first time, we’ll check in after your initial results to ensure you’re on the right track.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary. You might notice slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a day or two.
Can I combine Letybo with other treatments?
Absolutely. Letybo pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, laser facials, or medical-grade skincare. During your consultation, we’ll design a comprehensive plan that supports your overall aesthetic and wellness goals.
Is there anything I should avoid before or after treatment?
We recommend avoiding alcohol, blood thinners, and vigorous exercise 24 hours before and after your session to minimize bruising and swelling. It’s also best to skip facial massages or lying flat for a few hours post-treatment.
When should I book my follow-up?
To maintain your refreshed results, we suggest rebooking every 3 to 4 months. Don’t worry—we’ll remind you when it’s time to check in.
