About Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD

What is Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD?

Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw, MD is a physician-led med spa and facial plastic surgery practice with offices in Richmond and Midlothian, Virginia. Most of its services are cosmetic: Botox, Dysport, Sculptra, Kybella and laser treatments, plus surgery such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and chin implants. Medically supervised weight loss is one of its services, and the clinic names semaglutide and tirzepatide as its GLP-1 medications.

Travis Shaw, MD, is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with more than a decade of experience in patient care, and he leads the practice. The practice holds Allergan Diamond status and has a 4.9 rating from 775 Google reviews. Its weight loss is sold as Synergy Slim bundles, each pairing GLP-1 therapy with one add-on: NAD support, given as a nasal spray or injectable under provider guidance; Hair Force One, a nutrient-based hair formula; or AquaBiome Peptide Cream, a topical containing GHK-Cu.

This listing is for its Richmond office at 8730 Stony Point Pkwy #120.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for its weight loss program. It offers a free consultation, advertised as "Sign Up for My Free Consult Today," and it lists PatientFi financing as an option. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether the medication is part of any monthly fee, or what the bundle add-ons cost.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. In its own words: "At Synergy, every GLP-1 program is provider-led and customized." The clinic does not say whether Dr. Shaw writes each GLP-1 prescription or whether a nurse practitioner or physician assistant on the team does. Ask who you will see at the first visit and at follow-up.

Next, ask whether any monthly price includes the medication, and whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how your dose is set and changed.

Then ask what each add-on costs and whether you can start with GLP-1 therapy alone. Ask how cancellation works, whether there is a contract or minimum term, whether telehealth visits are available, and whether insurance is accepted for any part of your care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want GLP-1 weight loss from a physician-led practice that also offers cosmetic treatments, and you are comfortable reviewing costs at the consultation before committing. It is a poor fit if you need a posted price, insurance billing, or hormone therapy, which the clinic does not list.
