For Dr. Frey, it makes great sense to incorporate Retivo into her practice. As some of her patients are looking for alternatives to Botox, “I thought it was a really good opportunity for new toxins to be on the market,” she says. Dr. Frey injected it into his forehead and 11 generations, saying, “Its properties are essentially very similar to Botox. The patient was pretty happy. [with the wrinkle-smoothing results so far]. ” The mechanism of action is the same as Botox and its cohort, so she adds, “I think it can be used in all of the traditional realms.” The area between the forehead, the brows, and the crow’s feet.
You may hear that Letybo has more injectors and could last longer than its competitors. “Anexually, it works faster,” says Dr. Kim. Retivo explains that it may bring results within a few days. The complete results of Botox are usually visible within a week.
However, some doctors are skeptical of the claim that “work faster.” “Maybe it has a slightly faster start, but in reality there is no instantaneous start of neural sugar.” Doris’ DayMD, New York City Board Certified Dermatologist. “They all will take hours to a few days. I don’t think the time until onset will be a key factor my patients are looking for.” Dr. on whether Letybo results last longer than other ganglion drug results. Day states from previous data that “longevity is comparable to that of Botox, and generally appears to last around three to four months.”
It’s not the first time I’ve heard of a new neuromodulator that promises to last longer. Overall, doctors are wary of claims of longevity. Shellene Idris, New York City Board Certified Dermatologist, Maryland, said earlier. charm She tried out Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify and Jeuveau herself and decided from a performance standpoint, “They’re all the same.” Some doctors have hoped Daxxify’s results would last longer if the FDA was approved in 2022, but Dr. Idriss points out that in her experience, “it won’t last for the six to nine months that were originally on sale.”
We don’t know yet that the low prices of Letybo will remain at what US doctors (and Med Spas) charge. But Dr. Kim estimates that Letybo could cost around $9 to $12 per unit in major cities. This is about $12-18 per unit, which is the current cost of Botox. So, if you’ve got a total of 25 units, Letybo might run between $225 and $300 on Botox from $300 to $450. In her own practice, Dr. Frey accuses Retivo of the same as other ganglion agents. “We charge our skills and results, not our products,” she says.
In general, the doctors we spoke to are happy to have another option in their toolkit. “I’m excited to inject it,” says Dr. Kim, who hasn’t yet offered Retivo, but plans to practice cocktails with fillers, especially for shallow skin booster injections. (A custom mix of hyaluronic acid and neuromodulators, by reducing the size of pores and adding moisture, “it’s great for supplying skin to skin,” Dr. Kim previously told Allure.
