In addition to priding itself on delivering the highest level of medical and cosmetic dermatologic care and dedication, Dr. Michael I Jacobs’ office has two philosophical points of distinction:
1.
Dr. Jacobs’ office is committed to discovering skin cancer at early, formative stages. This is especially important in families with a history of skin cancer, and patients with dysplastic nevi and other markers of increased risk of skin cancer. While not a perfect science, Dr. Jacobs’ record is shown here in expert physician testimonials.
2.
Dr. Jacobs has not been impressed with the results of cosmetic procedures which can exaggerate or potentially distort one’s natural features. He has read, and seen photos, as have us all, about movie stars and celebrities who look very different after cosmetic fillers, volumizers, botox, lasers, and other medical manipulations. It is Dr. Jacobs’ vision that a patient’s cosmetic appearance should be enhanced and made more youthful, without obvious signs that the procedure was done. In some cases, this means going more slowly, or varying physician technique to make a more natural, organic improvement in appearance. This is Dr. Jacobs’ expertise, as witnessed by patient testimonials.
