Carruthers Dermatology Centre

Carruthers & Humphrey, formerly known as the Carruthers Dermatology Centre, is a world-renowned aesthetic dermatology practice and clinical research facility based in Vancouver, Canada. The center was founded by Drs. Jean and Alastair Carruthers, the pioneers who famously discovered the cosmetic application of botulinum toxin (Botox) in the late 1980s. Today, the facility operates as a leading center for both advanced patient care and industry-sponsored clinical trials. It serves as a key research site for Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies, collaborating with major pharmaceutical companies to evaluate new neuromodulators, fillers, and energy-based devices. The practice is currently led by Dr. Jean Carruthers and Dr. Shannon Humphrey, maintaining its legacy of innovation in dermatologic science.
