Letybo® in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify is the newest FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin: a safe, effective, non-surgical solution for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, particularly frown lines.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, offers expert Letybo® treatments to help patients achieve natural, beautiful results.
Letybo® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating expression lines, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and soften. Having been used internationally for many years under the brand name Botulax®, Letybo® has an established safety profile and provides results comparable to other well-known neurotoxins.
We proudly serve patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida. As a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist with extensive training in facial anatomy and injection techniques, Dr. Cappel, MD, delivers precise, artistic results that enhance your natural beauty while maintaining your unique facial expressions.
It is specifically FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults.
Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial expressions over time. Every time you frown, the underlying muscles contract, causing the skin to fold and crease. Over time, these repeated contractions create permanent lines that remain visible even at rest.
Letybo® addresses this process by temporarily weakening the muscles that create these expression lines. When injected into specific facial muscles, Letybo® blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contraction. The targeted muscles relax, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out. The effect is temporary, lasting approximately 3-4 months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and repeat treatment is needed to maintain results.

Patient-Focused Approach
While all neurotoxins work by relaxing muscles, there are subtle differences in their formulations, onset, and diffusion characteristics.
Understanding these differences can help you and Dr. Cappel, MD, choose the best option for your needs.
As the latest entrant to the U.S. market, Letybo® offers patients a high-quality, reliable alternative for achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance. With no downtime and results that last 3-4 months, Letybo® is an excellent new choice for wrinkle reduction.

| Botox® | The original, precise targeting | 3-7 days | Precise treatment of small muscle groups (e.g., crow's feet) |
| Letybo® | Newest option, comparable results to Dysport® and Botox® | 3-7 days | Patients seeking the newest FDA-approved option, or an alternative to Dysport® or Botox® |
