Freeze Fat Away From Stubborn Areas With CoolSculpting Treatments
CoolSculpting is the first completely non-invasive device that actually removes fat! And yes, it works, as our patients and staff will attest. It is a revolutionary fat-reduction solution that rivals liposuction and allows you to target stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise. An applicator is placed over the skin to safely freeze the underlying fatty tissue, and noticeable results take shape within weeks as the body processes and carries away the weakened fat cells.
No incisions. No downtime. Just real results and a slimmer, more sculpted physique!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely – we have helped hundreds of patients experience incredible results from their CoolSculpting treatments. For a patient who wants the most thorough, most dramatic contouring result, we still prefer surgical liposuction; however, there are many patients who don’t want to undertake surgery. These patients are often the best CoolSculpting candidates.
Popsicles & The Origins Of Cryolipolysis
The idea of freezing fat cells to destroy them developed when doctors noticed smaller cheeks in kids who ate numerous popsicles. Harvard physicians then worked for a decade to determine how exactly the larger areas of fat on adults could be safely frozen.
This research led to CoolSculpting, which has now helped millions of patients around the world.
-
CoolSculpting is most effective on stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise. Patients who are in good health, have reasonable expectations and wish to eliminate the fat from their most problematic target spots are ideal candidates for this procedure.
Unfortunately, not every person is a candidate for these treatments. For example, patients with cold-sensitivity disorders may not qualify. The initial consultation is critical to determine whether you are a candidate or if other solutions are better suited to help you reach your goals.
-
CoolSculpting is typically priced by the “cycle” or session. The average session costs between $600 – $800 in Columbus, Ohio. Our providers work with you to determine the number of cycles necessary to meet your goals, with 8 being the average number of sessions (or “cycles”) — but this very much depends on the size of the area you want to treat.
At Donaldson Plastic Surgery, we offer special package pricing based on the number of cycles you may need.
-
Immediately after treatment, the overlying skin is red and numb. It may take several days for the color and feeling to return to normal, and patients notice tingling and sometimes a slight burning sensation as the nerves re-warm. Fewer than 5% of patients experience a more intense burning sensation, and this can be treated with a 3-day medication.
Swelling and soreness are common in the first few days and are often treated with Spanx® compression and a combination of heat packs and cool packs. Full sensation should return to the treated area around the one-week mark. There is no limitation on patient activity during this recovery period.
-
Patients return to the office for a follow-up eight weeks later. This is how much time it takes for all of the injured fat cells to be swept away by the body, and the results can be fully seen. During this visit, the patient can decide whether to pursue another treatment or simply enjoy the results!
-
CoolSculpting is popular in the cooler months because it is a great way to prepare for the following summer! It’s best to start your CoolSculpting treatments in the fall or winter because it takes time to see your results. On average, results take about 2 months to show, so starting early in the fall will allow you more time for repeat cycles if they are needed.
-
CoolSculpting freezes away fat while CoolTone sends a series of pulses under the skin to tone the muscles. Patients who are looking for fat reduction may choose CoolSculpting, while those looking for better muscle definition may choose CoolTone. People who are close to their fitness goals are often better candidates for CoolTone than CoolSculpting. However, there is a major benefit to using the two treatment systems together!
CoolSculpting and CoolTone are two sides of the same coin; they work in tandem to help transform your physique. Generally, fat is treated first, then muscle. CoolSculpting patients are usually ideal candidates for CoolTone because they’ve already seen a reduction in their fat layer, meaning that the CoolTone device can penetrate deeper into the muscular tissue beneath.
