Acne Treatment
Our acne treatment program addresses mild to severe cases through clinical-grade products, prescription medications, and advanced therapies. Using Obagi skincare lines and chemical peels, we create customized plans to reduce breakouts and improve skin texture. Laser treatments help diminish scars while our dermatologists provide ongoing management strategies for long-term skin health.
Skin Cancer Detection
Comprehensive skin exams identify potential cancerous growths through visual inspection and biopsy procedures. Our board-certified dermatologists perform head-to-toe evaluations using dermatoscopy for early detection. When suspicious lesions are found, we offer in-office biopsies and coordinate specialized treatments like Mohs surgery for confirmed cases.
Laser Therapy
Cynosure Palomar laser systems address skin imperfections through fractional resurfacing and IPL treatments. These non-invasive procedures target sun damage, fine lines, and textural irregularities by stimulating collagen production. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results in skin tone and texture improvement.
Mole Removal
Suspicious moles undergo thorough evaluation followed by biopsy or complete removal when necessary. Our dermatologists use local anesthesia for excision procedures, sending samples to certified labs for analysis. Post-removal care instructions ensure proper healing while monitoring for any recurrence or abnormal changes.
Botox Injections
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Our experienced providers administer precise doses to smooth frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Results typically appear within days and last 3-4 months with maintenance treatments available.

My physician referred me to her when my dermatologist of many years had surgery and wasnt coming back in the near future. I have been very happy with her, no complaints. My husband now goes to her as well as my neighbor. Plus she is close!

Dr Jacobson is the best in the game. She caught my Melanoma in the nic of time and set me up with the best care at Stanford to have it treated. Ive met with her 2 times/yr for the last 5+ years for full skin checks and she was always incredibly thorough, considerate, and kind. I couldnt recommend her more highly. She literally saved my life.

Absolutely first class treatment. Dr. Jacobson is both extremely professional and very warm and caring. Doctor and staff give a very personal and thoughtful service and help. Always attentive and quick to assist. I have been with Dr. Jacobson since my move to California several years ago and she has been extremely helpful to alleviate concerns and help and provide excellent treatment and calm. I have nothing but good words and praise.
