Dr. Alastair Carruthers is a Cosmetic Dermasurgeon who operates his own clinical
practice (Carruthers Dermatology Centre Inc.) in Vancouver, BC. He is also a
Clinical Professor of Dermatology with the Faculty of Medicine at the University

During his 20 years of practice, Dr. Carruthers has made several major contributions
to the field of dermatology. Foremost among these was the use of the BOTOX®
procedure in cosmetic applications, a discovery he made with his wife, Dr. Jean
Carruthers, in 1987. Since this time, they have been at the forefront of BOTOX®
research, development and education, publishing numerous articles using their
data. Today, BOTOX®, which inhibits nerve impulses in muscles that cause
everything from frown lines and wrinkles to sweating, is the most commonly performed
cosmetic procedure in the world.
Dr. Carruthers has also made significant advances in the area of Tissue Augmentation.
These materials, both temporary and permanent, are used to lift and support
the structures beneath the skin. In 1998 Dr. Carruthers was the first dermatologist
in North America to begin injecting Artecoll. Through the extensive research
performed in their Vancouver based facility, Drs. Carruthers continue to have
articles published and lecture extensively on these subjects.
With over 100 published articles to his credit, Dr. Carruthers is a member of
the Editorial Board of “Dermatologic Surgery”. He is also a member
of several national and international associations, including the American Dermatology
Association and the Canadian Dermatology Association, where he served as President
