Botox vs. Dysport vs. Letybo vs. Jeuveau: Which Neuromodulator Is Right for You?
If you’re researching wrinkle-smoothing treatments, you’ve likely come across Botox® and Dysport® — but they aren’t the only options available. Today, there are four FDA-approved neuromodulators commonly used for aesthetic treatments: Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Jeuveau®.
All four work in similar ways, yet each has subtle differences that can make one a better fit depending on your anatomy, goals, and treatment area.
At The BTX Studio in Cypress, TX, we offer all four neuromodulators so your treatment plan is based on what’s best for you — not a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s a clear, side-by-side guide to help you understand the differences.
What Botox, Dysport, Letybo, and Jeuveau Have in Common
All four products are FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By limiting muscle movement, these treatments soften existing wrinkles and help prevent deeper lines from forming over time.
They are commonly used to treat:
Forehead lines
Glabellar lines (“11s” between the brows)
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Other dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions
All neuromodulators are:
Non-surgical
Require little to no downtime
Produce temporary results that typically last 3–4 months
Key Differences Between the Four Neuromodulators
While Botox and Dysport work in similar ways, they have a few notable distinctions:
1. Formula & Spread
Botox®
Known for its precision, Botox tends to stay more localized at the injection site. This makes it ideal for smaller areas or when very controlled placement is needed.Dysport®
Dysport spreads more easily, which can be beneficial for larger treatment areas like the forehead and may allow for smoother coverage with fewer injection points.Letybo®
Letybo is known for its highly refined purification process. It delivers consistent, smooth results and is often chosen as a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to Botox.Jeuveau®
Jeuveau was developed specifically for aesthetic use. It performs similarly to Botox and is commonly selected for cosmetic precision in facial treatments.
2. Onset of Results
Botox / Letybo / Jeuveau: Results typically begin appearing within 3–5 days, with full effects visible by 10–14 days
Dysport: Some clients notice results slightly faster, sometimes within 2–3 days
3. Unit Measurement
One of the biggest sources of confusion is unit dosing.
Botox, Letybo, and Jeuveau units are measured the same
Dysport units are measured differently, which is why the unit number appears higher
A higher Dysport unit count does not mean the treatment is stronger or less effective — it’s simply a different dosing scale.
4. Cost
Pricing varies by provider and region. While Dysport typically requires more units, the cost per unit is lower, which often balances out the total treatment price.
At The BTX Studio, we price treatments competitively so your decision is based on results, not confusion around unit counts.
Which Neuromodulator Should You Choose?
The best neuromodulator for you depends on:
Your facial anatomy
Muscle strength
Treatment area
Desired results
Past experience with injectables
General guidelines:
Choose Botox, Letybo, or Jeuveau if: You want precise, targeted treatment in smaller areas
Choose Dysport if: You’re treating larger areas like the forehead or want a slightly faster onset
Consider Letybo if: You want excellent quality with strong value
Consider Jeuveau if: You’re focused on cosmetic-specific refinement
Many clients try more than one over time to see which they prefer. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option for your face — not just the most popular name.
Common Myths About Neuromodulators
Myth: One neuromodulator lasts longer than the others.
Truth: Most last about 3–4 months, though individual metabolism and consistency matter more than the brand.
Myth: Botox looks more natural than Dysport (or vice versa).
Truth: Natural-looking results depend far more on injector expertise than the product used.
