Dysport & Letybo Wrinkle Treatment in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
Dysport® and Letybo® are injectable neuromodulators, similar to Botox® Cosmetic, that temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. At Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc., every treatment is carefully customized to your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and goals. Our aim is never to make you look “frozen” or overtreated, but rested, refreshed, and naturally rejuvenated.
What Are Dysport and Letybo?
Dysport and Letybo are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators. Like Botox Cosmetic, they work by temporarily reducing communication between nerves and specifically targeted muscles. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin moves less forcefully, softening existing expression lines and helping prevent them from becoming more deeply etched over time. Although Dysport, Letybo, and Botox belong to the same category of treatment, they are distinct products with their own formulations and dosing.
What Can Neuromodulators Treat?
Neuromodulators are commonly used to soften:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Brow heaviness caused by downward-pulling muscles
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Chin dimpling
- Prominent neck bands
Treatment can also be strategically placed to subtly enhance facial balance, such as creating a gentle nonsurgical brow lift or improving certain dynamic lines of the lower face and neck. The exact areas treated, product selected, and amount used are determined individually.
How Do Dysport and Letybo Work?
Facial expressions occur when nerves signal muscles to contract. Dysport and Letybo temporarily interrupt this signal within the specifically treated muscles, allowing them to relax. Because treatment is precisely placed, surrounding facial movement is preserved. A detailed understanding of facial anatomy is essential, since even small differences in injection location and dosage can influence the final result.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment is performed in our office using a very fine needle and generally takes only a few minutes. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to their normal activities shortly afterward. Results develop gradually over several days as the treated muscles relax. The effect is temporary, with normal muscle movement returning over a few months, and periodic treatments maintain your result.
Dysport or Letybo: Which Is Right for Me?
There is no single neuromodulator that is ideal for every patient. Both are effective, and the best choice depends on your anatomy, previous treatment experience, treatment area, goals, and individual response. Some patients develop a preference for one product, while others achieve excellent results with either. We’ll recommend the option that best fits your plan during your consultation.
Why Injector Experience Matters
Neuromodulator treatment may appear simple, but achieving an elegant, natural-looking result requires much more than knowing where to place an injection. Facial muscles work together in a complex balance, and treating one muscle can affect the position and movement of surrounding structures. At our practice, neuromodulator treatments are performed by Dr. Stefan Lowenstein, a double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, or Mira Noble, N.P., as individualized medical procedures with careful attention to anatomy, muscle strength, symmetry, and proportions. The goal is to soften unwanted lines while allowing you to keep looking like yourself.
Pair Neuromodulators With Other Treatments
Neuromodulators address dynamic lines caused by movement. For lines that remain at rest or volume loss, they pair beautifully with dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero Balance, as well as Fraxel Restore for skin texture.
