How did Botox go from a controversial toxin to one of the most widely used aesthetic treatments in the world?

What began as an unexpected patient observation eventually reshaped modern aesthetic medicine. Dr. Carruthers shares the story behind that breakthrough moment, how neurotoxins may influence mood and the brain, and what the next generation of wrinkle relaxers could mean for patients.
