Pseudomonas bacterial infection can occur between the natural nail plate and the nail bed, and/or between an artificial nail coating and the natural nail plate. The classic green discoloration is simply a by-product of the bacteria. Pseudomonas thrive in moist places; it feeds off the dead tissue and bacteria in the nail plate, while the moisture levels allow it to grow. The after effects of this infection will cause the nail plate to darken and soften underneath an artificial coating. If the bacteria has entered between the nail plate and the nail bed, it will cause the same discolorations and may also cause the nail plate to lift from the nail bed.

Nail hygiene is part of your presenting canvas and if you have symptoms of nail fungus, it is important that you seek treatment early on. Nail fungus may start as a small yellow patch on your nail but will become darker with thickening of the nail, brittle nail, and nail plate separation from the finger, called onycholysis. If left alone, nail fungus can progress to involve additional nails and eventually affect the surrounding skin. Both men and women can experience fungal infections in their fingernails or toenails. We can determine if a topical cream, oral medication or combination of both would be most effective in treating your fungal infection. Dr. Hill can help you with your embarrassing or even painful nail fungus.

BOTOX is a great treatment for dynamic wrinkles along the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and lips. BOTOX is also useful for early prevention of lines and wrinkles. Dr. Hill has years of experience with BOTOX and is a strong advocate for prevention of wrinkles. She understands aging will happen and wants to help ease the transition by fading out fine wrinkles and lines and keeping your skin appearing fresh, natural, and youthful. BOTOX can help prevent wrinkles and smooth existing wrinkles. The earlier you start the less correction and more prevention.

Dermal fillers are injected just under the skin’s surface in order to temporarily correct wrinkles. They add volume, thereby filling lines, wrinkles and folds from the inside out. Treatment results are quick onset. After the first treatment, an additional treatment of filler may be needed to achieve the desired level of correction. The need for additional treatments varies from patient to patient.

Laser resurfacing is a procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of skin or treat minor facial flaws by removing layers of skin. This procedure can be used as a treatment for age spots, acne scars, sagging skin, scarring, wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and crow’s feet.
