When it comes to wrinkle injections, most people immediately think of Botox. But a new name is gaining attention in 2025: Letybo treatment. This FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable has been trusted overseas for years as part of K beauty treatments, and it is now available across the U.S.
Naturally, the first question people ask is: What is the Letybo price, and is it actually cheaper than Botox’s?
How Much Does Letybo Cost?


In 2025, the average Letybo price per unit in the U.S. is $9 to $13. Most people need around 20 units to treat glabellar lines which are the frown lines between the eyebrows. That puts the typical treatment cost around $180 to $260 per session.
For comparison:
- Botox price per unit: $12 to $16, though some areas of the country average $12 per unit or even $18 per unit
- Average Botox session for frown lines: $240 to $320
That means Letybo injections offers a lower price point, generally 10 to 20 percent cheaper than Botox per treatment, which adds up quickly if you are maintaining your results three to four times a year.
Pricing varies depending on the number of units needed and the strength of your targeted facial muscles. Men typically need higher doses than women. Always look at the total treatment cost rather than just cost per unit.
What Is Letybo?
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA wlbg) is a purified botulinum toxin type A, the same family as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. It is manufactured by Hugel, a global aesthetics company, and was approved by the FDA in 2024.
Like Botox, it is used to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles that cause wrinkles.
What sets it apart:
- High purity 95 percent with fewer accessory proteins which may reduce the risk of resistance
- Highly purified formula that many patients who have previously used other toxins now prefer
- Fast amount of time to onset with some patients seeing results within a few days and most noticing changes by Day 3
- Natural-looking results designed for softer effects that do not freeze expression
- Globally trusted with 31 million vials used in Asia and Europe before it hit the market in the U.S.
For patients at Express Med Spa, Letybo may feel like a refresh button with subtle softening that looks like you, just more rested.

4 Simple Ways to Maximize Your Results
A great journey with Letybo is not just about the product but also about how you maintain your results. Here’s what experienced injectors recommend:
Stick to the right schedule
Results last 12 to 16 weeks, and for some, full results typically last six months based on individual factors like metabolism. Do not wait until all movement comes back. Keeping up with treatments helps maintain smoother results.
Take skincare seriously
Neuromodulators relax wrinkles but do not improve skin texture. Pairing your treatment with medical grade skincare enhances the overall effect.
Avoid bargain shopping
Yes, Letybo offers value, but do not chase the cheapest injector. Always look for a board-certified injector or board-certified plastic surgeon who reviews your medical history and understands your goals.
Protect your results after treatment
- Avoid rubbing the area to prevent spread to muscles that cause other movements
- Skip workouts for a day to ensure optimal effects of Letybo
- Allow time for your body to settle before judging results. Remember, full results appear in 1 to 2 weeks
Combine with other non invasive treatments
Pairing Letybo with dermal fillers, facials, or energy devices enhances the benefits of Letybo and helps achieve a refreshed appearance.
