What is Botox®?
Botox® cosmetic is a widely recognized product that targets dynamic wrinkles, specifically the frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. With temporary relaxation of the muscles that cause these wrinkles, Botox® injections help achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. Known for its fast-acting results, Botox® treatment typically takes just 10 to 15 minutes, with minimal downtime. Results from Botox® start to appear within 2 to 3 days, and full effects are visible within a week. Many clients love the natural-looking results, which last for about 3 to 4 months. Botox® before-and-after photos consistently show visible improvements in wrinkles and fine lines, making it one of the most popular options for wrinkle treatment.
What is Letybo®?
Letybo®, often called Korean Botox®, is a newer anti-wrinkle injection that works similarly to Botox®. The treatment is intended to reduce wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as those around the eyes, forehead, and between the eyebrows. Like Botox®, Letybo® injections temporarily relax the muscles, contributing to dynamic wrinkles and offering a more refreshed, youthful look. Letybo® treatment is known for its precision and efficacy, with results typically visible within a few days and lasting for about 3 to 4 months, similar to Botox®. Letybo® before-and-after images show significant wrinkle reduction, making it a great alternative for those looking for Botox®-like results with a different formulation.

- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
