Focus on Winter Skincare

Do I need to wear sunscreen during the winter?
Yes, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen all year long-even during winter months. Even through windows your skin is still exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. Wearing sunscreen will help protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun. If you don't wear sunscreen year-round, you are more susceptible to the development of brown spots and more likely to develop red crusted spots which can develop into skin cancer if you don't wear sunscreen.

To discuss the types of broad-spectrum sunscreen that best fit your skin care needs, call eŌs Dermatology by Austin Regional Clinic at (512) 482-9344.

 
Weight Management

Your Weight Loss Plan for the New Year: Diet & Exercise

by Hillary Gwen Miller, MD, ARC Weight Management Program Medical Director

The new year is around the corner! If one of your new year's resolutions is to lose the winter weight gained from Thanksgiving and the pending feasts for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, the ARC Weight Management program gives you the support you need to start the year off right.

Our qualified, multidisciplined healthcare staff have been assisting Central Texans like you lose weight and maintain their weight loss since 1988. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100, our program can help you.

One such program, the Health at Home program, recognizes the difficulty of attending afternoon or evening sessions that require commuting in and around Austin area traffic, so group sessions are being offered by telephone. Participants visit Dr. Hillary Gwen Miller, Program Medical Director, and Jennie Comstock, Program Director, once a month in person, and participate in weekly group calls.

Participants will also maintain weekly records and weight logs and email them to the ARC Weight Management Program prior to the weekly group call. The ARC program has been successful for many of our participants. They have used the program for their initial weight loss and to sustain their new, healthier weight.
