Aesthetic medicine has changed enormously over the past 40 years, but one of the biggest changes has been how we *think* about it.
What was once associated with royalty and movie stars has become a personal choice available to a much wider group of people.
Dr. Jean Carruthers has had a front-row seat to that shift – from the earliest days of cosmetic Botox to the aesthetic medicine we know today.
Her take? If looking better is a priority for you, there shouldn’t be anything frivolous about choosing to do something for yourself.
1992. Eighteen patients. And a completely silent room.
When Dr. Jean Carruthers presented the first cosmetic Botox patients at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery annual meeting, the response wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.
Afterwards, physicians approached her with one question: how could you use a “terrible poison” for something as frivolous as a wrinkle?
Jean’s answer hasn’t changed:
“There is nothing frivolous about a wrinkle.”
