At Full Spectrum Face + Body in Tacoma, Washington, we're always keeping an eye on new innovations in wrinkle reduction treatments. One of the most talked-about newcomers is Letybo—a recent FDA-approved injectable that’s making waves in the aesthetics world. But how does it compare to the gold standard, Botox?


In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between Letybo vs Botox, highlight the benefits of both, and help you decide which one might be right for your unique skincare goals.


What Are Letybo and Botox?

Both Letybo and Botox are non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments used to relax facial muscles. They temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive expressions like frowning or squinting.


These injectables fall into the category of wrinkle reduction treatments, and both contain botulinum toxin type A. However, they are manufactured differently and may have slight variations in how they perform.


Key Differences: Letybo vs Botox


1. Manufacturing & Purity

Letybo is a highly purified version of botulinum toxin, developed in South Korea. Some users find it causes less swelling post-injection. Botox, on the other hand, has been used for over two decades and is trusted worldwide.


2. Onset and Duration

Botox typically shows results in 5 to 7 days, with peak results at 10 to 14 days. Letybo typically begins working within 24 to 48 hours, offering a quicker onset than Botox for some patients. Both treatments generally last 3 to 4 months.


3. Cost and Accessibility

At Full Spectrum Face + Body, Letybo and Botox are offered at the same price, giving clients flexibility to choose based on personal preference rather than cost. While Botox has a longer track record in the U.S., Letybo is quickly gaining recognition for its effectiveness and purity.


4. Clinical Experience

Botox has a long-standing safety profile with millions of successful treatments. Letybo, while newer here, has been used in Asia for years with strong clinical results. As more U.S. providers gain experience with Letybo, confidence in its effectiveness continues to grow.


Why Try a Botox Alternative?

Some clients are interested in Botox alternatives like Letybo for several reasons:

  • Curiosity about new products

  • Past resistance or reduced response to Botox

  • Desire to explore pricing or treatment variations

"I’ve worked with Botox for years and love the results it brings—but I’m also impressed by what Letybo has to offer. It’s always empowering when clients have more than one great option to choose from." – Dr. Deb Mauro, Owner, Medical Director, DNAP, CRNA

If you're seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and want to test something new, Letybo might be worth considering.


Choosing the Right Wrinkle Reduction Treatment

Deciding between Letybo vs Botox depends on several factors, including your treatment history, goals, and how your body responds. Our expert providers will assess your skin, facial anatomy, and preferences during a personalized consultation.


Whether you stick with the tried-and-true Botox or explore Botox alternatives like Letybo, you’re in good hands at our Tacoma med spa.


What to Expect During Treatment

Both treatments are quick—usually taking under 20 minutes. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts into specific facial muscles. Discomfort is minimal, and there’s no downtime needed.


You can resume normal activities right away, although we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for the rest of the day.


Final Thoughts

In the world of wrinkle reduction treatments, having options like Letybo vs Botox is a win for patients. Both offer effective, non-surgical facial rejuvenation that softens lines and restores a youthful appearance.


Whether you're a Botox loyalist or curious about newer Botox alternatives, Full Spectrum Face + Body is here to help you choose the best path to refreshed, natural-looking results.
