Dysport is a botulinum toxin type A injectable manufactured by Ipsen (France), a direct competitor to Botox. In Estonia, Dysport injections are offered by beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet, mainly in Tallinn and Tartu. Dysport is used against expression lines — in the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. The product has been registered in Europe since 1990, and is also used for medical indications (hyperhidrosis, muscle spasms). Some Estonian doctors prefer Dysport for its wider diffusion and faster onset of action.
What is Dysport and how does it work?
Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA — a slightly different form of botulinum toxin type A compared with Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA). The active substance blocks the nerve signals reaching a muscle and reduces muscle activity. The result is smoother expression lines. Dysport's molecule is smaller and diffuses more widely in tissue, which makes it especially suited to treating larger areas such as the forehead.
Dysport's units (Speywood units) do not correspond directly to Botox units — roughly 2.5–3 times more units of Dysport are used to achieve the same effect. The effect usually appears 2–3 days after the injection, slightly faster than with Botox. The effect lasts around 3–4 months. Dysport is used both cosmetically and medically — for hyperhidrosis, chronic migraine, and muscle spasms.
Dysport in Estonia — prices and providers
The price of Dysport in Estonia depends on the number of areas treated and the number of units needed. One zone (the area between the brows or the forehead) costs 150–230 €, three zones 300–430 €. Treatment of hyperhidrosis (underarms) costs around 350–500 €. Prices vary depending on the doctor's experience and the clinic's location.
Dysport is available in Estonia mainly at beauty clinics in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. Injections are given only by doctors — mainly aesthetic medicine specialists, dermatologists or plastic surgeons. Some doctors use both Botox and Dysport depending on the patient, choosing the preparation based on previous treatment experience. See /brandid/botox and /brandid/xeomin, and find all clinics at /kliinikud.
Dysport vs. alternatives
Dysport's direct alternatives in Estonia are Botox (AbbVie/Allergan) and Xeomin (Merz). All three contain the same core active substance — botulinum toxin type A — but differ in protein structure and dosing. Botox has the longest clinical track record, Xeomin is a so-called clean preparation without complex proteins, and Dysport offers a faster onset of action and wider diffusion.
Some patients respond better to one preparation than another — if one brand does not give the desired result or causes resistance, another brand may be more effective. Consult an experienced doctor, who will assess the anatomy of the facial muscles and previous treatment experience. See a comparison at /brandid/botox and /brandid/xeomin, as well as the injectables category at /teenused/botox-sustid.
