Botox is a botulinum toxin type A injectable manufactured by Allergan, one of the best-known brands in aesthetic medicine worldwide. In Estonia, Botox injections are offered by experienced doctors and cosmetic surgeons at beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet — mainly in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. Used both for smoothing wrinkles and for medical indications (migraine, hyperhidrosis), the preparation has been available in Estonia since the late 1990s. Botox in Estonia has become a common preventive and corrective procedure, offered by both specialized clinics and the wider aesthetic medicine sector.
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a registered trademark of the American company AbbVie (formerly Allergan) for a botulinum toxin type A injectable. The active substance blocks the nerve signals that reach a muscle and cause it to contract. Once injected, muscle activity decreases, which smooths expression lines — especially on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. The effect appears within 3–7 days and typically lasts 3–4 months, after which treatment needs to be repeated.
Botox is used cosmetically against expression lines, but also medically — to treat chronic migraine, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), bruxism (teeth clenching) and certain muscle spasms. Its indications are approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Estonia's Ravimiamet. Injections are given with a fine needle, anesthesia is usually not needed, and the procedure takes 15–30 minutes.
Botox in Estonia — prices and providers
The price of Botox in Estonia depends on the area treated and the amount of preparation used (measured in units, U). One zone (e.g. the brow area or forehead) usually costs 150–250 €, three zones 300–450 €. Treatment for hyperhidrosis in the underarm area starts at around 350 €. Prices vary by clinic, the doctor's experience and the amount of preparation used.
In Estonia, Botox is offered by several beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet, mainly in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. Injections are given only by doctors with the relevant training — dermatologists, plastic surgeons or aesthetic medicine specialists.

Botox vs. alternatives
Botox is one of three widely used botulinum toxin type A preparations in Europe — the others are Dysport (made by Ipsen) and Xeomin (made by Merz). All three contain the same active substance but differ in protein structure and onset of effect. Dysport usually starts working faster (2–3 days), Xeomin is a so-called cleaner preparation without accessory proteins, and Botox has the longest clinical track record.
The choice between a specific preparation depends on the patient's needs, previous treatment experience and the doctor's recommendation. Some patients prefer one preparation over another based on their personal response. Consult an experienced doctor, who will assess the anatomy of the facial muscles and the suitable preparation. See similar brands at /brandid/dysport and /brandid/xeomin.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Botox cost in Estonia?
The price of Botox depends on the number of zones treated and the amount of preparation used. One zone (e.g. the forehead or the area between the brows) usually costs 150–250 € in Estonia, a three-zone package 300–450 €. For medical indications (migraine, hyperhidrosis), prices start at 350 €.
Where can you get Botox in Estonia?
In Estonia, Botox is available only at beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet, where it is injected by a doctor. The preparation is not sold in pharmacies or salons — it is a prescription medicine. Find clinics at /kliinikud.
How long do Botox results last?
The effect of Botox usually lasts 3–4 months, sometimes shorter for first-time users. With repeated injections, the effect can extend to 5–6 months as the muscles adapt. To maintain results, repeat injections are recommended every 3–6 months.
Is Botox safe?
Botox is a preparation registered by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and its safety has been studied for over 30 years. Side effects (headache, temporary brow drop, bruising at the injection site) are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare when the injection is given by an experienced doctor at a clinic licensed by Terviseamet.
Who is allowed to inject Botox in Estonia?
In Estonia, injecting Botox is permitted only for doctors with the relevant training in aesthetic medicine — mainly dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic medicine specialists. Beauty therapists and cosmeticians are not allowed to inject botulinum toxin. The procedure must take place at a clinic licensed by Terviseamet.
