Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2015 -- Diet and exercise are tried-and-true ways to get a fit, slim figure. However, even the healthiest of eating habits and the most rigorous of exercise routines can't get rid of certain bothersome appearance issues, such as double chins. A double chin can have an enormous effect on confidence and self-esteem, and those who have tried everything to get rid of theirs may feel frustrated or despondent.

However, they have not truly tried "everything" unless they've made a consultation with Dr. Travis Shaw, MD, a leader in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Dr. Shaw offers Kybella at his office near Washington, DC, and can help lessen or banish double chins.

Kybella is an injectable drug that gets rid of double chins without the need for surgery, which means less downtime and expense for patients. Formerly known as ATX 101, Kybella destroys the membranes of fat cells, which then causes them to burst and permanently disappear. This leads to a more youthful-appearing, slimmer jawline and neck, usually with two to three injections spaced four to six weeks apart.

The procedure can be performed in Dr. Shaw's office, and each session usually takes about fifteen minutes. In the largest FDA study conducted on the effectiveness of Kybella, 90% of patients saw an improvement after being treated with Kybella.

Those interested in Kybella can call Dr. Shaw's office at 804-210-7035 to set up a consultation. They can also learn about other services that Dr. Shaw offers, like scar treatment in Washington, DC.

Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2015 -- Scars, no matter how large or small, can affect patient's emotions, confidence, and self-esteem Dr. Travis Shaw, MD of Richmond, VA, has dedicated his career to helping patients regain their confidence with cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, including scar revision in Washington, DC.

Since no two scars are the same, and scars come in a variety of sizes, types and levels of severity, Dr. Travis Shaw and his team consider a plethora of multiple treatment options before creating a customized scar treatment plan for each patient. These treatments draw on a selection of the most cutting-edge technologies available and are affordable for a range of budgets.

Two of the most common approaches that Dr. Travis Shaw uses to treat scars are the Lumenis Ultrapulse laser, a fractionated CO2 laser, and the PicoSure laser by CynoSure. These lasers quickly deliver light energy to deep layers of the skin to repair warped collagen and restore a normal color to the scar. These laser treatments are sometimes combined with platelet-rich plasma therapy, which studies suggest can encourage new tissue growth and rejuvenation in areas affected by scar tissue.

Potential patients can enjoy a no-obligation, cost-free consultation with Dr. Travis Shaw about their scar treatment options in his office located near Washington, DC. Call 804-775-4559 or visit http://travisshawmd.com/ to learn more.

Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/10/2015 -- Tattoo removal technology has made significant strides in the last decade. What was once a universally painful, lengthy process, no longer has to be for Richmond, VA, residents. Dr. Travis Shaw, MD is the only physician in Richmond with PicoSure tattoo removal laser technology. The PicoSure laser is the latest advancement in laser tattoo removal.

The PicoSure is 100 times faster than conventional lasers. It works to remove pigment by breaking up the ink, which is then naturally cleared by the body's system. The tattoo gradually fades, leaving clear, unharmed skin in its place. Since PicoSure treatment takes half the time of treatment with conventional lasers, patients experience less pain from treatment and better overall results.

Dr. Travis Shaw, MD and his team are confident in the quality of their services and want patients to experience complete satisfaction. They offer a "try before you buy" option at no cost, in which patients will have a small area of their tattoo treated. If they wish to proceed with PicoSure tattoo removal, Dr. Shaw guarantees that the patient's goal of tattoo clearance will be met in six treatments or fewer. If the goal is not reached, Dr. Shaw offers an ironclad guarantee of additional treatments at no additional cost.

Dr. Travis Shaw, MD has ten years of experience performing cosmetic treatments with lasers. Not only is he the only physician in Richmond, VA, with PicoSure laser technology, but he is also a licensed PicoSure instructor.

Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2015 -- Dr. Travis Shaw, MD, specialist in non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, is Richmond, VA's go-to physician for patients who want to drastically improve their appearance and confidence without undergoing major surgery. One of Dr. Shaw's most successful procedures is ThermiTight, a non-surgical facelift that Richmond, VA, patients love for its minimal downtime and beautiful results.

ThermiTight is perfect for patients who want to correct sagging necks, jaws, arms and stomachs as well as cellulite and back fat. All of these issues contribute to patients feeling aged or unattractive, but ThermiTight quickly and effectively resolves them.

The procedure uses radiofrequency energy to tighten tissue permanently. After applying a numbing cream to the treatment area, a small probe is inserted and deep, gentle heat delivered so that skin shrinks and fat melts. The body absorbs the excess tissue. Patients see results gradually, with most seeing a major improvement at the three-month mark. Many patients report that their results are still satisfactory three years in. This is usually a one-time procedure that takes only sixty minutes to ninety minutes and can be performed in Dr. Shaw's Richmond, VA office.

During the procedure, the temperature of the heat being delivered is limited and monitored, making the treatment completely safe. Most patients who undergo ThermiTight report very little discomfort, but Dr. Shaw can administer a light sedative if necessary. Unlike facelifts, arm lifts, abdominoplasty and liposuction, which are major surgeries that require long periods of recovery, can leave scars and risk complications, ThermiTight requires no cutting, stitches or general anesthesia and results in no scarring or bruising.
