Learn about the newly approved injection for glabellar lines: Letybo
At Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, our team of professionals understands the importance of looking and feeling your best. When fine lines, wrinkles, and folds develop as part of the natural aging process, it can become problematic for those looking to hold onto their youthful appearance for as long as possible! Our team can help with cosmetic injectables. Letybo is one of the newest botulinum toxins available on the market. It was recently approved by the FDA and is readily available at our office. Let’s look at some common questions about this new neurotoxin available in the United States–and at our state-of-the-art practice.
What is Letybo?
Letybo is a new botulinum toxin approved for use in the United States. It was developed by Hugel America, Inc. and is used to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult men and women. Glabellar lines are the frown lines that develop on the face and can contribute to an aged appearance. The FDA recently approved this injectable in the United States, though it has been used overseas for the same cosmetic benefits for years.
What are the benefits of Letybo?
The primary benefit is the ability to treat frown lines without surgical intervention. This injectable allows our patients to improve their appearance using a less invasive solution. Letybo is effective, safe, and affordable for many of our patients at Seriously Skin Cosmetic and Laser Medicine.
What is the recommended dosage for Letybo?
Our team can help you determine how many Letybo injections are required to achieve the desired results. Depending on the severity of the glabellar lines, some patients may need to have more Letybo injected than others, so an initial evaluation with our team is the first step in learning the appropriate dosages for one’s unique needs.
Are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using Letybo?
There are a few things to consider when selecting Letybo and other cosmetic injectable treatments. It was approved by the FDA in the United States in February 2024 and continues to gain popularity. It is not recommended for female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it may cause headaches, hypersensitivity, and other complications. Letybo should not be combined with other botulinum toxins to achieve results, as potentially serious reactions can occur. Typical side effects that might be experienced include cardiovascular concerns and breathing difficulties, which are rare but may be fatal.
