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.
