Nearly 40 years later, any regrets?
“Get a better lawyer.”
And then, everything changed.
For years, Allergan saw Botox as a pharmaceutical product. Alastair and I saw the potential for something entirely different.
By the time the company’s thinking began to change, demand for cosmetic Botox was already growing.
What started with one patient, one observation and an idea in 1987 had become something none of us could have imagined.

Even Allergan didn’t see the potential at first.
When an approved cosmetic study was cancelled in 1992, Drs. Jean and Alastair Carruthers kept going — continuing their research and travelling the world teaching other physicians what they had learned.
Eventually, the world caught up.
From an unexpected observation in 1987 to a treatment that would change cosmetic medicine.
