Dr. Jean Carruthers is known as the ‘godmother of cosmetic dermatology’ thanks to her pioneering discovery in the 1980s of a formula that could remedy frown lines with no downtime. An ophthalmologist by training, the Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia’s Department of Ophthalmology and Medical Director of Jean Carruthers Cosmetic Surgery is also an award-winning researcher and author.

In this episode of Beauty x Medicine, Dr. Carruthers talks to our CEO, Flemming Ørnskov, MD, MPH, about key learnings from her extraordinary career: the importance of listening to patients, how she convinced peers and patients to embrace her groundbreaking innovation, and how this is just the beginning with exciting innovations that continue to reshape the injectable aesthetics field even further.
