The Difference Between Botox ® and Letybo
The aesthetic world is currently witnessing a major shift. For years, "Botox" by Allergan was the only word you needed to know for wrinkle relaxation. But as we move through 2025, the conversation has changed. The spotlight has shifted to Letybo—the South Korean "K-Beauty" secret that is quickly becoming the preferred choice for those who want faster, cleaner, and more natural-looking results.
If you’re still sticking to the "old standard" out of habit, here is why Letybo is the upgrade your skincare routine has been waiting for.
What is Letybo?
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg) is a next-generation neurotoxin developed by Hugel, Inc. While it only recently made its U.S. debut, it has been the #1 market leader in South Korea for nearly a decade.
Think of it this way: South Korea is the global capital of skin innovation (the birthplace of glass skin and 10-step routines). They demand perfection in their aesthetics, and Letybo was engineered to meet those high standards of purity and precision.
Why Letybo is Stealing the Spotlight from Botox
The "Clean Beauty" of Neurotoxins
One of Letybo’s biggest flexes is its high-purity formulation. It is manufactured using a sophisticated double-chromatography process, ensuring the toxin is incredibly refined (95–99% pure).
Why this matters: A "cleaner" formula means fewer unnecessary proteins. For long-term users, this may reduce the risk of "antibody resistance"—that frustrating moment when Botox stops working because your body has learned to fight it off. Letybo is built for the long game.
Results in the Blink of an Eye
If you have an event this weekend, Botox might not cut it. Botox typically takes 5 to 7 days to start working. Letybo kicks in fast, with many patients seeing a visible softening of lines in just 2 to 3 days. It’s the ultimate "quick fix" that actually lasts.
The "K-Beauty" Finish: Expressive, Not Frozen
The biggest fear with traditional wrinkle relaxers is the "frozen" look. Letybo was designed for a specific aesthetic: The Natural Refresh. * It targets the muscle with high precision, smoothing out the "11" lines between your brows while allowing the rest of your face to remain expressive. You’ll look like a well-rested version of yourself, not a statue.
More "Glow" for Your Buck
Despite being a premium, high-tech product, Letybo is often priced more competitively than Botox. Because it’s the modern challenger, most clinics offer Letybo at a 10% to 20% lower price point. This allows you to maintain that smooth, "glass skin" look year-round without the "luxury brand" markup.
