Michael I. Jacobs MD
Dr Jacobs is recognized for his extraordinary knowledge and practiced eye. He is renowned for both his medical expertise, particularly in the detection of skin cancer, and his cosmetic artistry. His clients refer to him as the "Artist of the Face." I consider it a privilege to provide my patients with the finest possible care.

My goal is simple: look refreshed, look natural, look significantly better - without going under the knife. When someone puts their face in my hands, literally and figuratively, I first look at what can be done that is the least invasive, the most time- and cost-effective, and that will give the loveliest, most natural-looking result.
Services
Dr. Jacobs' attentive eye and years of experience have refined his passion and skill for providing patients with transformative cosmetic treatments that help them look and feel their best. His expertise ranges from accurately determining the correct combination of Botox, Fillers, Voluma, lasers, and skin lifting remedies to use on patients, and provide a final result that looks natural and not overdone.
Are you unhappy with the look of your skin? Does the idea of achieving a younger, fresher, smoother face with the help of a simple and non-invasive treatment sound appealing? Dermaplaning, which is offered by Dr. Michael I. Jacobs in New York, NY, can accomplish just that. Best of all, there is no downtime and no discomfort associated with these treatments.
Spider veins can be a source of annoyance and embarrassment. They can prevent us from feeling comfortable in certain items of clothing, and bring on strong feelings of self-consciousness, but traditional treatment methods have often been somewhat unpleasant. CoolGlide Spider Vein Therapy is not only an extremely effective treatment, but it's also painless.
It is certainly not fun to feel refreshed and still have someone say you look tired, sad, or angry. It may feel like your only option for a youthful appearance is a surgical procedure, but this is not the case. Injectable treatments like BOTOX Cosmetic may not only reduce the stressed-out "tired" look on your face, but may also improve wrinkles and lines on your forehead, by your eyes, and even around your nose.
Acid is used as an exfoliant during a chemical peel. The chemical eliminates dead skin cells on the skin. Removing dead skin cells makes the skin smoother and more refined. You may notice improved skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles. The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and the skin exfoliates for a few days after the treatment.

DO NOT GO HERE. SOOOOOOOOO RUDE. Doesn’t care about his patients at all. Was asleep half the time and caught him screaming at his employees who are so hard working. Soo scary. Please do yourself a favor and never go him. Go to anyone else. The urgent care would be better

Dr. Jacobs is the quintessential physician. He is a great listener, a spectacular diagnostician and a compassionate person.
I brought my mom to Dr. Jacobs at the start of his career and he then was exceptional in his diagnostic abilities and interpersonal skills. Decades later I had a mystery to unravel and Dr. Jacobs did just that. Dr. Jacobs began his livelihood talented and gifted. With years of experience he is warm, wise, empathic, and a genius. What a gem and treasure to the profession.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Jacobs for over 20 years. He has been our savior time and again. He discovered several cancerous moles on my mother that were not easy to find. I moved to LA and my doc here discovered a sarcoid and Dr. Jacobs ensures that it was reviewed by the top pathologist at Columbia and provided me with all of the assurance and info that I needed to feel educated and knowledgeable about my condition. If you're looking for a true genius dermatologist who truly cares for his patients, look no further.

I am a health care professional with 50+ years of experience. I have never written a letter about a doctor before, but Dr. Michael Jacobs exceptional skills and his innate gift to diagnose disease is at times awesome.
Seven years ago, he diagnosed melanoma on my wrist. It was not visible to the naked eye. A biopsy confirmed melanoma. Surgery was performed at Memorial. Dr. Jacobs save my life, my wrist and hand.
One year later on my upper arm, the same story, melanoma on my upper arm and nothing visible, and back to memorial. He save my life again.
One year ago, my brother-in-law, routine check

I was referred to Dr. Jacobs by my PCP. I was able to make an appointment promptly. His receptionist was very professional, and upfront about payment and insurance information so that there were no surprises when I got to the office. When I arrived for the appointment, his staff was very careful with Covid protocols and he was thorough in his examination with a gentle bedside manner. By the time my appointment was over, the forms to submit to my insurer were already printed out with a follow-up appointment booked. 100% satisfied with my experience!

I had my Thermage FLX done today by Bethnie, and my experience was GREAT! The whole medical team are professional, patient, and incredibly helpful. Prior to my Thermage, I had a free face to face consultation with Dr. Jacobs to exam my face and address my questions, and was sure Thermage is the right treatment I needed. Bethnie did my treatment, she was very patient and skillful, the treatment can be a little bit painful sometimes, and she would always stop and made sure you are ok. I am treated with respect, and was not pushed to do anything I don't really want. I am very satisfied with the

As a physician, I have been embarrassingly careless about my skin.
I went to Dr. Jacobs for a trivial matter. He immediately identified
a suspicious lesion on my face that I had self diagnosed as a cyst.
A biopsy was taken and the path report came back positive for
Basal Cell Carcinoma. I was obligated to undergo MOH's surgery.
Fortunately, for me, the outcome was excellent.
Dr. Jacobs has earned many distinctions for his expertise in early
detection of skin malignancies. He also has a thriving Cosmetic
Dermatology practice. However, unlike others in his field, he is
not a hard sell. One

Hi I have been using Dr. Jacobs for my complicated dermatological condition for 15 years. He has literally saved my live on several occasions. He has spotted cancerous spots that were overlooked by other doctors. I make the trip to his office twice a year, as I do not trust any other physician for my skin care. His staff are friendly and he is very thorough.

I consider Dr Jacobs# 1 in his field. I travel long distances to see him in NYC as I trust no one more when it comes to my skin. I used to travel from London!

My history with Dr. Jacobs is a fairly long one.. for years I had struggled with rosacea - I had had people tell me it was deforming. After seeing Dr. Jacobs for laser treatments to treat the rosacea ( a treatment other doctors at the time I had started with Jacobs, were not offering) I am now the person my friends celebrate as having the best skin of anyone they know.

Recently Dr. Jacobs has treated me with prp for hair loss, and

Excellent diagnostician, friendly professional staff. My husband and I have been going for years for annual checkups and minor skin concerns. We trust his medical knowledge implicitly. Recently I decided to delve into the cosmetic skincare end and Dr. Jacobs was very patient, took time to explain my options and was never pushy. I did a Vivace treatment and couldn’t be more pleased. Also, the office is very clean and organized. That is very important to me and they deliver on all fronts. I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Jacobs did wonders for my daughter. Him and his entire staff are all extremely kind and knowledgeable! We had tried many dermatologists before Dr.Jacobs and none of them could treat her teenage acne. Now it is very clear and she feels more confident in her own skin. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Jacobs.

Dr Jacobs has been treating both my daughters since they were little. My youngest daughter had a really bad case of eczema when she was young which caused horrible rashes all over her body. I took her to several dermatologists but it never got better. I finally found Dr Jacobs who with a lot of care, patience and the right treatment was finally able to get the eczema under control. The rashes healed and the constant itching stopped. I highly recommend Dr Jacobs and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Michael Jacobs has been my dermatologist for over 25 years. He is an excellent physician and diagnostician. He is spot-on with diagnosing and treatments for all sorts of dermatology related conditions. As a nurse I have worked at the bedside with Dr. Jacobs and have witnessed his expertise first hand. Dr. Jacobs displays a kind and gentle demeanor when caring for patients and ensures they have a clear understanding of their condition and follow-up treatments or medications. Dr. Michael Jacobs is a true professional and I am glad he is my physician.

I have seen Dr. Jacobs for nearly 15 years.
I have had three melanomas which he detected early enough so that only outpatient surgery was needed to excise them without any follow up treatment.
Enough said but add to that his staff (and he) are always cordial and helpful.
Because he is sought after for treatment, however, you will face the occasional long wait in his office at your appointment but that is a pretty small price to pay for medical excellence.
I recommend him without hesitation.
