Letybo in Charlotte, NC

Letybo is a modern neuromodulator that softens expression lines by relaxing targeted facial muscles. FDA-approved for frown lines between the brows, it offers a smooth, refreshed look with results that feel natural—not frozen.

Understanding Letybo

Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg) is a type A botulinum toxin injectable that temporarily reduces muscle activity in the treated area, helping lines relax and fade. Letybo can soften frown lines between the brows, prevent deep creases from becoming more etched over time, create a calmer, more rested look, and keep your expressions recognizable while reducing harshness. Internationally, Letybo has been widely used for years, with tens of millions of treatments performed worldwide prior to its U.S. arrival—one reason many patients are comfortable choosing it now that it’s FDA-cleared here.

Am I a Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for Letybo if you:

Are bothered by lines between the brows, especially at rest
Want a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
Are healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding
Want a result that’s refreshed, not overdone

During your consultation, your provider will assess your facial movement patterns and talk through your goals. If Letybo suits your needs, your dosing plan will be customized for a balanced outcome.

Letybo at Criswell & Criswell

At Criswell & Criswell Plastic Surgery, neuromodulator treatment is never a “one-size-fits-all” appointment. Dr. Kara Criswell and Dr. Bryan Criswell focus on how your brows move, where tension patterns create creases, and what kind of result looks most like you on your best day.

Your plan is tailored to your facial anatomy and muscle strength, your natural expressiveness, whether you prefer a subtle softening or a more noticeable smoothing, and the timing of your lifestyle and upcoming events. Because Letybo is dosed similarly to Botox for glabellar lines, treatment can be calibrated with familiar precision, while still providing the benefits of a newly available formulation.

Recovery and Expected Results

There’s little to no downtime after Letybo. You might notice mild redness, tenderness, or small bumps at injection sites for a short time. Most patients return to normal plans immediately.

Results often begin showing in 2–3 days, settle over the first week, and reach their peak around two weeks. Expect smoother, softer frown lines and a more relaxed expression that still looks like you. Most patients enjoy results for roughly 3–4 months.

Other Techniques and Alternatives

Variations in Technique

Although Letybo has a standard FDA-approved pattern for frown lines, the technique is highly personalized. Your injector may adjust:

Exact placement based on your anatomy
Dose per point to reduce heaviness or preserve lift
Symmetry corrections if one side pulls stronger

The goal is not just fewer lines, but better facial balance.

Xeomin®
Jeuveau®

Each has a slightly different onset, feel, and longevity, and your provider can help you choose based on your facial dynamics and preferences.
