"A lot of other trainings spend so much time with didactics and observing that you get very little hands on… Here you get that comfort and confidence."
"Dr. Jacobs is an amazing teacher and mentor. Prior to training, she reached out and asked what my learning objectives were, and tailored the training accordingly so that I got the most out of it. During the training she gave constructive feedback, and was patient and knowledgeable in answering questions. You could tell that she is well-respected by her patients in her community, something I hope to emulate. She also shared important and practical practice pearls to newer injectors like myself. All in all it was a great experience and I learned a lot! I highly recommend her!"

Meet Dr. Jacobs
Learn from an educator with nearly two decades of aesthetic medicine experience.
Dr. Kristen Jacobs has practiced aesthetic medicine since 2008 and has spent more than a decade training aesthetic providers nationally. Her experience as an injector, educator, practice owner, author, and national speaker shapes the practical, clinically grounded education at ART Academy.
Dr. Kristen M. Jacobs has been practicing Aesthetic Medicine since 2008. She loves that it goes deeper than improving looks; it enhances lives both physically and mentally. She takes a holistic approach to health, wellness, and beauty and prides herself in keeping her patients looking natural and real while enhancing their lives through proven healthy aging treatments.
Dr. Jacobs, author of the international best-seller Live Life Beautifully (With a Little Help), is recognized as a National Master Injector and leader. Her expertise places her in the top 1 percent of Allergan accounts in the United States. She has been selected as a Faculty Member and Instructor with Allergan Medical Institute for Facial Aesthetics as a Botox, Juvederm, and Kybella trainer. She is trusted with the responsibility of instructing other physicians in the skills she is capable of demonstrating every day at her business, Ooh La La Spa.
Aesthetic Medicine is truly an art, and because she has a passion for training other providers, she has established her own Aesthetic Resource & Training (ART) Academy to guide others on the intricacies and safety of injecting.
Dr. Jacobs is a very proud member of her community. She enjoys partnering with local businesses, sponsoring charity events, mentoring high school seniors, and serving on local boards to support it every way she can. She has the privilege to partner with her husband, a Chiropractor and Nutrition Specialist at Ooh La La, but her most important honor however, is being a Mom to her 2 boys!
