Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ellen R. Jacobson

Sourced directly from Dr. Ellen R. Jacobson's social posts and replies.

When should I have my skin evaluated by a dermatologist?
You should consider a skin evaluation if you notice a mole or spot changing in size, shape, or color; a rash lasting more than a few weeks or returning; acne not improving with over-the-counter treatments; difficult-to-manage eczema or psoriasis flare-ups; persistent facial redness or rosacea symptoms; or changes to your hair or nails. Early evaluation can often lead to easier and less invasive treatment and greater peace of mind.

When should I see a dermatologist for acne?
You don't have to wait until acne becomes severe. Professional help may be needed if breakouts are persistent, painful, leaving behind scars or dark marks, or simply aren't responding to what you've tried at home.
Source →
How does Advanced Skin & Laser Center approach acne treatment?
A dermatologist can help identify what's contributing to your acne and recommend personalized treatment options based on your skin, the type of acne you're experiencing, and your specific goals.
Source →
What laser technology does Advanced Skin & Laser Center use?
The practice uses AVAVA technology, which provides the capability to safely treat a wide range of skin tones, allowing more patients to experience the benefits of laser treatment.
Source →
What is Advanced Skin & Laser Center's approach to treating psoriasis?
There are many treatment options for psoriasis, including topical, light therapy, oral, and injectable medications, or a combination. The best approach depends on the type and severity of your psoriasis, and what works for one person may not for another. Finding the right treatment can involve trial and adjustment, and responses can change over time. The practice evaluates your skin, discusses symptoms and history, and develops a personalized plan. Patients should know they don't have to live with uncomfortable symptoms, as options are available.

What should I do if I'm experiencing hair loss or changes?
While some changes in hair density occur naturally with age, increased shedding or noticeable thinning can indicate a more serious underlying condition. Hair loss has many potential causes, and a dermatologist can help determine the cause of changes like increased shedding, a widening part, or reduced fullness. Getting the correct diagnosis is the important first step, as treatment options to slow hair loss and support healthier growth depend on the underlying cause. If concerned, schedule an evaluation with the dermatology team.
Source →
What should I know about Jeuveau treatment?
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a prescription medicine indicated for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar (frown) lines in adults. It can soften expression lines and refresh your look, smoothing lines while maintaining natural facial movement, with results seen in as little as 2 days. However, treatment may not be appropriate for everyone. It carries a Boxed Warning regarding the potential for distant spread of toxin effects, which may cause serious symptoms like difficulty swallowing or breathing. Patients should discuss their full medical history with their provider and review the Prescribing Information and Medication Guide before treatment.
Source →
Why are annual skin checks important?
Making an annual skin check a priority is one of the simplest ways to protect your skin health. Regular screenings help catch concerns early, when they are often easiest to treat. You should consider an annual skin check, especially if you are monitoring a changing mole, have a family history of skin cancer, or if it has been a while since your last exam.

How does Advanced Skin & Laser Center integrate with Binhlam Aesthetics?
The practice recommends starting a skincare journey with treatments like Jeuveau at Advanced Skin & Laser Center, then continuing with other services at Binhlam Aesthetics.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$627

Payments

21

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Ellen R. Jacobson received $627 across 21 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
