This was the moment the penny dropped. 💡
While treating a patient for blepharospasm, Dr. Jean Carruthers heard something she wasn’t expecting: after treatment, her patient loved the “untroubled expression” it gave her.
Jean immediately thought of her husband, dermatologist Dr. Alastair Carruthers.
That night, she told him what she’d observed over dinner. His response? “Let’s do it.”
The very next day, they began their research into the cosmetic use of botulinum toxin.

Before Botox became one of the world’s most recognized cosmetic treatments, it was being used for something entirely different.
In 1987, Dr. Jean Carruthers was treating patients with blepharospasm when one patient became unexpectedly angry with her.
What happened next would change the course of cosmetic medicine.

39 years ago this month, an unexpected “aha” moment changed the course of cosmetic medicine.
In September 1987, Dr. Jean Carruthers made the observation that would lead her and her husband, Dr. Alastair Carruthers, to pioneer the cosmetic use of botulinum toxin.
Nearly four decades later, we’re going back to where it all began, and Dr. Jean is telling the story in her own words.
