Donaldson Plastic Surgery is the First to Offer CoolSculpting Elite in Columbus, Ohio

Donaldson Plastic Surgery recently appeared on Good Day Marketplace on local news station Fox 28 to announce the arrival of CoolSculpting Elite — the most advanced CoolSculpting technology yet. We are proud to announce that we are the first practice in the Columbus, OH area to offer CoolSculpting Elite!

CoolSculpting expert Adrienne Yanich of Donaldson Plastic Surgery met up with Fox 28’s Cameron Fontana to talk about CoolSculpting Elite and to show him a live demonstration of this newest fat-freezing device in action.

You know, there is a silver lining to those freezing cold temperatures outside, and that is those same temperatures can actually help freeze fat away. And that’s the technology we’re talking about today at Donaldson Plastic Surgery who will tell us all about it. Adrienne, good to see you again! Good to see you! So, you have a new piece of tech that isn’t really available at a lot of other places, talk about that. We actually have CoolSculpting Elite now, we are the first practice in Columbus to have that technology, and it is a better way to freeze off fat on some of those unwanted areas. So, for people that don’t know, or maybe they heard the words CoolSculpting, what does that mean? It’s a way to spot treat fat cells that don’t seem to budge with other dieting exercise techniques, so we’re going to go in and see Katie here shortly, and she’s actually spot treating some parts of her abdomen and eight weeks you’ll see less of her. So Adrienne, who is a good candidate to get CoolSculpting Elite done? Really, it’s meant for the person who has those stubborn areas that just don’t seem to go away with diet and exercise. Often these areas are your flanks, the inner thigh, the lower abdomen, really just can’t get them to budge and they just want to kind of spot treat and reduce those. So we can see how it works? We can, let’s go!

Brand New Fat Freezing Technology

So Katie is with us today, and she’s having a CoolSculpting treatment and we’re actually dual-sculpting Katie using two applicators, which is a really interesting thing about our new device. It speeds up our treatment time by a lot. So I’m so interested in this, what is happening under that sheet in her body to where the fat is going away? Well, it’s actually a science called cryolipolysis, which is the destruction of fat cells with cold, and over the next 6 to 8 weeks, those fat cells will be eliminated by the body and will reduce that area by about 20 to 25%. That’s incredible. Katie, does it feel OK? It feels great!

So this is a new technology. Again, only one of its kind in the area. What’s the biggest differences between this and what the old tech was? Well, we’re actually the first in the area to have this technology, and I can actually show you this applicator cup is going to pull in about 18% more tissue than the older model. And with the two applicators, we’re treating so much more fat so much more efficiently. And what should people do after they get this done? And what’s the time frame they can see results? We actually have them come back about 8 to 12 weeks after their treatment for follow up, and as long as they’re following a healthy lifestyle and maintaining their diet, they’ll maintain their results forever. That is awesome.

Freeze Fat Away Forever

Now Is The Perfect Time for Non-Surgical Fat Removal!

I know a lot of people are watching right now going, “you know what, swimsuit season is just around the corner.” How can they jump on the table like Katie and get this done? Give us a call! We’ll go ahead and bring you in for a consultation. You’ll see our CoolSculpting expert for an initial consultation, and we’ll get a package set up for you. Awesome, so what’s the website people can go to and where are you located? The website is going to be donaldsonplasticsurgery.com, and we’re located in Historic Dublin at 92 N. High St, just above the Avenue Steak Tavern. Perfect! Adrienne, Katie, thank you so much for letting us come out and see this today. That is really neat!

Here are the best top tips from Columbus plastic surgeon Dr. Michelle Sieffert on how to keep your skin looking young, dewy, and gorgeous!


Annual laser treatments.

Beginning in your thirties, every year your skin’s elastin and collagen content steadily decreases, which causes fine lines and wrinkles, deep lines and folds, “crepey” skin, dullness, and visible pores. Lasers like Halo Laser Skin Resurfacing and BroadBand Light (BBL) Therapy stimulate “youthfulness” genes to turn on in your skin cells and re-establish some of that lost collagen and elastin. Committing to annual treatments at least once a year helps keep pace with the ongoing aging process so your skin maintains its youthfulness longer and ages more gracefully.


Prescription strength or medical grade retinol.

Having a medical grade retinol that is prescription strength from a plastic surgeon or dermatologist’s office (NOT over-the counter, drugstore, Sephora, etc.) is key to retaining youthful-looking skin. Retinol is the only skin care product shown in our medical literature to increase the thickness of the skin by helping your skin form new collagen.

Additionally, it helps control acne (which we all have right now because of our masks), lighten sun damage, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of pores, and exfoliate the skin so it glows!


Mineral sunscreen.

Sun exposure causes your skin to age more rapidly – period. UV rays also damage your DNA putting you at risk for skin cancer. For both of those reasons, sunscreen is a must! Donaldson Plastic Surgery’s expert aesthetician and skincare specialist Tatjana recommends mineral (physical) sunscreens that act like a shield against harmful UV rays, compared to chemical sunscreens that absorb the sun’s rays.

She even created her own zinc-oxide sunscreen formula that is available for purchase!

A New Generation of Cool

We are excited to introduce you to the most advanced in fat-freezing technology yet — CoolSculpting Elite! We are proud to be the very first practice in Columbus, OH to offer CoolSculpting Elite to help you reduce stubborn fat and achieve your body goals.

CoolSculpting Elite in Columbus, Ohio is the most advanced fat reduction technology that eliminates twice the fat in the same amount of time.

Ready to Meet Elite?

CoolSculpting Elite is the most technologically advanced CoolSculpting technology yet. The noninvasive treatment is safe and even more effective in freezing pockets of fat without damaging the surrounding tissue, causing fat cells in the treated area be destroyed, never to return. We are excited to be the first in Columbus to usher in a more powerful and effective fat-reduction treatment, compared to traditional CoolSculpting.

How Does CoolSculpting Elite Work?

Cryolipolysis, commonly referred to as fat-freezing, is a clinically proven nonsurgical fat-reduction treatment that uses cold temperatures to reduce fat deposits in certain areas of the body. The procedure is designed to reduce localized fat deposits or bulges that do not respond to diet and exercise. Applicators are placed on the treatment area via suction, and the tissue is cooled for about 30 to 45 minutes. The best part? A treatment of CoolSculpting Elite is completely painless and requires zero downtime!


CoolSculpting Elite vs. Traditional CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting Elite has a number of unique benefits that set it apart from previous CoolSculpting technology. So, what is different about the new CoolSculpting Elite technology that you can find exclusively at Donaldson Plastic Surgery?

Firstly, CoolSculpting Elite is the only device FDA-cleared to eliminate stubborn fat in nine different areas of the body. That’s more than any other body contouring device on the market! Bulges of the abdomen, bra fat, flanks, arms, thighs, under the chin, and much more can all be targeted with CoolSculpting Elite to slim and contour.


Redesigned dual applicators

CoolSculpting Elite’s applicators are engineered with a greater contour to better fit the natural curves of the body. These new curved applicators allow for 18% more tissue contact, and deliver more evenly dispersed cooling to the treatment area so that every fat cell is subject to freezing. These new powerful innovations mean that you will get more fat-reduction out of your treatment with CoolSculpting Elite in a targeted area.

Did we also mention that there are now TWO applicators with CoolSculpting Elite? That means you can treat two separate areas at the same time. That’s double the fat reduction in a single visit, saving you time!


Sleek, efficient design

More Comfortable During and After Treatment

We have even heard from our patients that have tried CoolSculpting Elite that their treatments are much more comfortable than ever before! Compared to traditional CoolSculpting, CoolSculpting Elite is the only option for patients who want the very best experience and results.
