Letybo New Jersey
You know the look you want. Subtle. Rested. A little less tension in your brow, but still unmistakably you. Maybe you've tried Botox before, or maybe you've held back, unsure if it would feel too obvious or too much. That hesitation makes sense, especially with so many options that promise the same thing. Letybo is the newest FDA-approved neuromodulator in the U.S., offering an alternative for patients who want consistent, natural-looking results with a lower likelihood of stiffness or dramatic change.
Led by Dr. Barry DiBernardo, a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience in aesthetic medicine, New Jersey Plastic Surgery offers our New Jersey Letybo injections to patients seeking a modern, customizable wrinkle treatment. Located in Montclair and serving patients across New Jersey and beyond, our team uses only FDA-cleared injectables administered by trained medical professionals. We prioritize natural results, strategic placement, and long-term satisfaction.
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg) is a botulinum toxin type A injectable neuromodulator designed to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles, particularly glabellar lines (the vertical "11s" between the brows). Manufactured by Hugel, a South Korean biopharmaceutical company, Letybo has been widely used in over 45 countries and is now FDA-approved for U.S. cosmetic use as of 2024.
Its formula is comparable in dosing and unit strength to Botox, but many injectors note a silky-smooth onset and natural-feeling effect. The FDA clearance was based on a robust set of clinical trials demonstrating both safety and efficacy for moderate to severe glabellar lines.
Both Letybo and Botox are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators with similar dosing strategies (20 units across five injection sites for glabellar lines). What sets Letybo apart is its global track record, consistent formulation, and smooth application profile.
For patients, the effects feel familiar: a softening of wrinkles without freezing facial movement. For injectors, the product has a reputation for reliable diffusion and stable potency. If you've had good results with Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, Letybo may offer equally pleasing results, potentially with a slightly different aesthetic texture.
Letybo gives patients the results they want without the stigma or stereotypes of older injectables. It's modern, widely studied, and internationally trusted. Benefits include:
Letybo is currently FDA-approved for glabellar lines, but many board-certified providers use it off-label in areas such as:
The safety and effectiveness of off-label use depend heavily on the skill of the injector and the overall treatment plan.
Letybo is ideal for adults over 18 who are in good overall health and seeking a non-surgical solution for facial wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement. Ideal candidates may:
People with certain neurological conditions, allergies to botulinum toxin, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid treatment. We'll go over all health history and medications before scheduling any injections.
Letybo treats wrinkles caused by movement, called dynamic wrinkles. These include:
It's not designed for volume loss or deep creases at rest, which are better treated with dermal fillers or collagen-stimulating injectables.
During your consultation for Letybo New Jersey injectable experts at NJPS will review your goals, assess your facial anatomy, and create a customized plan. You don't need to do much prep—just avoid alcohol and blood thinners like aspirin 24-48 hours beforehand to reduce the risk of bruising. Come makeup-free if possible. Most patients receive treatment on the same day as their consultation if cleared.
Your Letybo appointment will typically take 10-15 minutes. We use ultra-fine needles and offer optional numbing cream, though most patients find treatment very tolerable without it. According to the FDA-approved dosing, 20 units are typically injected across five small sites in the glabellar region. The treatment is quick and efficient, with no required downtime.
You may see mild redness or tiny raised bumps at injection sites immediately afterward - these usually fade within an hour. Bruising is rare but possible. Results begin to show in 3-4 days, with full effects around day 7-10. The smoother appearance typically lasts 3-4 months. We'll discuss a maintenance plan that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
Letybo carries the same FDA boxed warning as other botulinum toxins: in rare cases, the toxin could spread to distant parts of the body and cause serious symptoms. This is extremely unlikely in cosmetic use when administered correctly. Choosing a trained provider is key.
Letybo cost varies depending on the number of units used and the areas treated. For reference, the FDA-recommended dose for glabellar lines is 20 units. Pricing is comparable to other neuromodulators like Botox and often slightly more accessible. A full quote is provided at your consultation. We never over-inject and prioritize efficient, tailored results. Your Letybo treatment plan may also include adjunctive therapies, such as fillers, microneedling, or skin tightening, to enhance your overall outcome.
