Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A injectable made by Merz Pharma (Germany), marketed as an alternative to Botox and Dysport. In Estonia, Xeomin in Estonia injections are offered by beauty clinics licensed by Terviseamet, mainly in Tallinn and Tartu. Xeomin's distinguishing feature is its purified formulation — the product does not contain the complexing proteins present in other botulinum toxin preparations. This may reduce the risk of developing resistance with long-term use. Xeomin is registered with Euroopa Ravimiamet for both aesthetic and medical indications.
What is Xeomin and how does it work?
Xeomin contains incobotulinumtoxinA — a botulinum toxin type A formulation in which the active substance has been separated from the complexing proteins. The manufacturer calls this the XTRACT process, which removes these accessory proteins, leaving only the active neurotoxin molecule. The mechanism of action is identical to Botox and Dysport — the active substance blocks nerve signals reaching the muscle and reduces muscle activity.
Xeomin's units correspond approximately to Botox units (a 1:1 ratio), unlike Dysport. The effect appears 3–7 days after injection and typically lasts 3–4 months. Xeomin is used for aesthetic indications against expression wrinkles (forehead, glabella, eye area) and for medical indications — cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, upper limb spasticity. Some doctors prefer Xeomin for long-term use because of the risk of resistance.
Xeomin in Estonia — prices and providers
The price of Xeomin in Estonia usually starts at 150 € per zone. A three-zone package costs 300–450 €. The price is generally similar to Botox and Dysport, though some clinics list it separately in their price lists. Prices depend on the doctor's experience, the number of units needed and the clinic's location.
Xeomin is available in Estonia mainly at larger beauty clinics in Tallinn and Tartu. Some aesthetic medicine doctors offer a choice between Botox, Dysport and Xeomin — especially for patients who have developed resistance to one specific preparation. Injections are performed only by doctors — dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic medicine specialists. See /brandid/botox and /brandid/dysport, and all clinics at /kliinikud.
Xeomin vs. alternatives
Xeomin's direct alternatives are Botox (AbbVie/Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen). All three contain the same core active substance — botulinum toxin type A. Xeomin's only significant difference is the absence of complexing proteins. This may theoretically reduce the immune response and the risk of developing resistance with long-term use — this has been documented mainly in medical patients receiving very high doses.
In terms of onset and duration, Xeomin is similar to Botox (3–7 days to onset, 3–4 months duration). Dysport usually starts working slightly faster and diffuses more widely in tissue. Consult an experienced doctor who can assess your facial muscle anatomy and previous treatment history. See the comparison at /brandid/botox and /brandid/dysport, and the general injection category at /teenused/botox-sustid.
