What is Letybo?
Letybo, a botulinum toxin type A injectable developed by South Korean pharmaceutical company Hugel Inc., has emerged as a significant player in the global aesthetic market. Known domestically as Botulax, Letybo has been widely used across Asia and Europe, and in February 2024, it received FDA approval for the treatment of glabellar lines in the United States . This approval positions Hugel as the first Korean company to have its botulinum toxin product approved in all three major aesthetic markets: the U.S., Europe, and China .
How does Letybo compare to Botox?
Letybo and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A injectables used to reduce dynamic wrinkles, particularly glabellar lines (the “11s” between the brows), but they differ in several key aspects. Letybo is known for its faster onset of action, with many patients seeing visible results within 2–3 days, compared to the typical 3–7 days for Botox. Clinical studies suggest that Letybo may also offer slightly longer-lasting and more consistent effects, with results lasting up to four months for some patients, while Botox’s effects generally last three to four months. Letybo’s formulation is designed for greater stability and may provide a softer, more natural look, whereas Botox is sometimes associated with a firmer or more “frozen” effect2. However, Botox remains FDA-approved for a broader range of cosmetic areas, while Letybo’s approval is currently limited to glabellar lines, giving Botox an edge in versatility. Cost-wise, Letybo is often slightly more affordable, but the best choice depends on individual goals, prior response to treatments, and the recommendations of an experienced injector
