What’s the Difference and Which Is Best?
If you’re considering a wrinkle reduction treatment, you’ve probably heard the names Botox, Dysport, and Letybo. They all target fine lines and expression wrinkles, but the way they perform can feel slightly different.
What Do Botox, Dysport, and Letybo Have in Common?
All three are neuromodulators that soften facial lines by relaxing the muscles that create expression wrinkles. They’re commonly used for:
- Frown lines (the “11s”)
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Bunny lines
- Brow balancing
- Jawline softening
- Chin dimpling
They work similarly, but their formulation, onset time, spread, and dosing can influence your experience and results.

Botox: “The Gold Standard”
Botox is the most widely used and recognized neuromodulator. It’s known for:
- High precision
- Reliable dosing
- Strong control in small areas
It’s often preferred for patients who want targeted smoothing without much spread into nearby muscles.
Dysport: Quick and Soft-Edged
Dysport is popular for people who want results a little faster and with a softer blend. Key perks include:
- Onset in as little as 2–3 days
- Slightly wider diffusion, ideal for broader areas
- Great for strong muscles or more expressive foreheads
The units are measured differently, so the number may look higher but doesn’t mean a stronger dose.
Letybo: New, Refined, and Natural-Looking
Letybo is newer in the U.S. but well-established globally. Many injectors appreciate its balance of precision and softness. It offers:
- Unit conversion that matches Botox
- Subtle, natural-looking results
- Smooth finish without stiffness
It’s an appealing option for patients who want an updated formula with minimal change in facial expression.
How to Choose the Right One
The best choice depends on your goals, anatomy, and how your body processes the product. Here’s a quick way to think about it:
- Choose Botox for classic precision and long-standing reliability
- Choose Dysport for quicker onset and a more blended effect
- Choose Letybo for soft, modern, natural-looking movement
Our experienced injectors can guide you based on muscle strength, symmetry, expression patterns, and past treatments.
The Bottom Line
All three neuromodulators, Botox, Dysport, and Letybo, deliver excellent wrinkle-softening results. The differences come down to formulation, speed, spread, and aesthetic feel. A personalized consultation and full face assessment is the best way to determine your ideal match.
