If you’ve been considering a wrinkle relaxer treatment in Austin, you’ve probably heard of Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Now there’s a new option available at The Piazza Center: Letybo. As one of the first practices in Austin to offer Letybo, we’re excited to share what makes it unique, how it compares to other wrinkle relaxers, and why it may be the right choice for you.
What Is Letybo?
Letybo is the newest FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable available in the U.S. It’s designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as:
- Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows)
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
Like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, Letybo works by temporarily relaxing wrinkle-causing muscles. What makes it exciting is its smooth formulation and strong clinical data, making it a trusted new option for patients who want natural results.
How Do Letybo, Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® Compare?
While all four wrinkle relaxers share the same active ingredient — botulinum toxin type A — they differ in formulation, additives, and how they behave in the skin. Here’s a side-by-side look:
| Feature | Letybo | Botox® | Dysport® | Xeomin® |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FDA Approval | 2023 (U.S.) | 2002 (U.S.) | 2009 (U.S.) | 2010 (U.S.) |
| Active Ingredient | Botulinum toxin type A | Botulinum toxin type A | Botulinum toxin type A | Botulinum toxin type A |
| Additives | Complexing proteins | Complexing proteins | Complexing proteins | None (naked toxin) |
| Onset of Results | ~3–5 days | ~5–7 days | ~2–3 days (fastest) | ~3–5 days |
| Duration | ~3–4 months | ~3–4 months | ~3–4 months | ~3–4 months |
| Best For | Patients seeking smooth, consistent results with a newer formulation | Patients who prefer the original, most widely used option | Larger treatment areas like the forehead due to broader diffusion | Patients who prefer fewer additives or may have resistance concerns |
What This Means for You
- Letybo – A newer option with a smooth, predictable formulation and strong global clinical data.
- Botox® – The original household name, proven safe and effective for over 20 years.
- Dysport® – Spreads a bit more, making it useful for larger areas but requiring precision.
- Xeomin® – A “clean” formulation without complexing proteins, sometimes chosen by patients concerned about resistance.
The good news: All four are safe, FDA-approved, and effective when injected by experts. The best choice often comes down to your goals, preferences, and injector guidance.
