What is
K-Tox Letybo?

Looking for a gentle, effective way to smooth fine lines and wrinkles? Meet Letybo, also known as “K-Tox”, the newest injectable neurotoxin. Korea’s number 1 neurotoxin is now available at Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa. K-Tox offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making it the perfect alternative to traditional botulinum injections.

K-Tox is a Korean-made neuromodulator similar to Botox, used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. The active ingredient in K-Tox is botulinum toxin type A, the same used in other popular injectables, but Letybo is uniquely formulated for precision, purity, and a smooth, soft finish.

Known for its lightweight feel and refined outcome, K-Tox is ideal for patients who want subtle, refreshed, and more youthful-looking skin.

Benefits Of
K-Tox

Right For You?

If you’re looking for a Botox alternative that gives you a more natural look with precision-targeted results, K-Tox may be the perfect fit. It’s especially popular among people who prefer a more subtle aesthetic or are curious about trying injectables for the first time.

Whether you want to reduce signs of aging or prevent future wrinkles, our experienced injectors will customize your K-Tox treatment to your unique goals and facial anatomy.

What Is The Difference Between K-Tox and Botox?

While K-Tox and Botox use the same active ingredient (botulinum toxin A), K-Tox (Letybo) is manufactured in Korea using a highly purified formula that many patients report feels lighter and more refined. It’s one of the top beauty treatments in Korea and is now FDA-approved for use in the U.S.
