Get To Know Donaldson Plastic Surgery’s Resident Product Expert A Little Better!  

If you’ve visited our office recently, you may have noticed a fresh face in our product showroom. That’s Andie Schroeder and she’s one of the best skincare product experts and makeup service providers in Columbus, Ohio! As our in-house specialist, she spends the majority of her time showing patients the ins and outs of each item on our shelves, while researching rising products in the industry. 

If she’s not consulting with someone one-on-one, she can be found prepping patients for Botox, fillers and laser treatments. She also helps to glam up our team members before the day begins. Have you ever wondered how our team stays so beautiful even in the early morning hours? Much of what you see is Andie’s work in motion! 

Cultivating A Landscape Of Skincare Knowledge 

Her interest in aesthetic treatments and products goes deeper than their stated results. She strives to build a better connection to each product that goes beyond the cosmetic effect. 

“I love the science behind aesthetics. I like being hands-on and educating patients about products by showing them what works best for them, why it works best and how to apply everything correctly.”

-Andie Schroeder

Taking The Extra Time To Earn Your Trust 

Andie’s day doesn’t begin at 8:30 a.m., 7 a.m. or even 6 a.m. It actually begins around 4 p.m. the day before as she pores through each individual patient chart. This proactive step helps her to fully understand the products that best suit their needs based on their treatments and unique history. She also works directly with our outstanding aesthetic providers to learn even more about each person who strolls through our showroom!  

Andie’s passion for cosmetics and attention to detail allow her to deliver the perfect product and answer all questions that may be associated with them. 

Speaking Of The Perfect Product…

Here are some of her favorites to have on standby: 

• Alastin Sun Screen
• AlphaRet Retinol Cream
• Extractions and DiamondGlow
• Jane Iredale’s Beyond Matte Liquid Foundation

Andie’s Perfect Day Is All About Balance

And to strike that equilibrium, she enjoys a strong mix of getting to know new injectables patients and showing existing patients the ropes when it comes to the latest products on our shelves.

Skincare consultations. Makeup services. Treatment preparation. They all blend together so perfectly! 

One Of Her Favorite Topics of Discussion? The Benefits Of SPF & Playing Defense Against Aging 

We are firm believers that SPF plays a critical role in our daily routines. Not only does it help bolster our beautiful results from various aesthetic treatments, but it also acts as our first line of defense against aging and skin cancer. Making SPF application a habit will protect more than your gorgeous glow!

“It’s always concerning when someone bought sunscreen in February but tell me they’re only halfway through it in November! ‘I still have about half a bottle left’ and I say ‘Oh … you may want to start using a bit more every day, unless you have 10 different kinds you’re dipping into!'”

-Andie Schroeder

From Miamisburg, With Strong Roots In The Cosmetic Industry 

Before joining the Donaldson team in September 2022, she spent time at Sephora and Massage Envy as an Esthetician. She attended the Mason Anthony School of Cosmetology, Esthetics, Massage Therapy & Manicuring and made the move to Columbus in 2016 after transferring from the University of Kentucky to The Ohio State University. 

Andie became the newest extension of the Donaldson Plastic Surgery team after keeping a close eye on our open positions. 

“I always wanted to be part of medical aesthetics. I’ve constantly searched for opportunities because it can be so difficult to get into. Once people get in there, they don’t want to leave – and for good reason!” 

-Andie Schroeder

Pulling Inspiration From Influential Industry Voices & A Familiar Face

• “Tiana Willis is fabulous! She’s an esthetician I found on Twitter. She finished school at 16 and is smarter than almost anyone else I know in the industry! I trust so much of what she has to say about skincare.”
• “I also follow ‘The Beauty Brains‘ – they’re insightful cosmetic chemists. I like digging into the science and having ingredient knowledge. How do things work? Why do they work? They do a great job of debunking popular myths.” 
• “When I get the chance, I always just want to sit down with Tatjana and learn from her. She is incredible. I want to schedule a facial with her soon just to pick her brain!”

Join Dr. Marguerite Weston & Friends As We Recalibrate Our Health Heading Into The Holidays 

Let’s be real: we’re going to cut loose a little during Thanksgiving – and that’s OK! We deserve a little break from our normal routines around this time of year. As the dinner leftovers dwindle and the dust settles after the in-laws leave, we will be kicking off our 5-Day Pre-Holiday Reset!

---

You Don’t Have To Wait For The New Year To Be The Best You

You’re officially invited to join us virtually from Monday, Nov. 28 until Friday, Dec. 2 for 5 days of mindfulness and wellness. Functional Medicine expert Dr. Marguerite Weston, Nurse Practitioner Angie Scala, Medical Aesthetician Nikki Rucinsky and our friends at Rise Chiropractic & Nutrition are coming together to deliver a steady stream of healthy living insights that you can actually use in your normal routine – right when we all need it most! 

What We’re Going To Cover: 

Each day, our specialists are going to put the spotlight on different facets of our health. These will include:

• What toxins you can remove from your diet today
• Which exercises and stretches truly optimize our bodies for daily life 
• How mindfulness translates to physical health improvements
• What recipes and foods we should actively incorporate into our typical week and which supplements are worth taking
• (And our personal favorite) How to get great sleep

If You Rock The Challenges, You’ll Be Entered To Win Rewards! 

Having more energy is a prize on its own, but we’re going one step further by offering rewards to the most dedicated participants in the event. Wellness supplements, specialized teas, mindfulness journals – all of these are up for grabs if you get involved!

Dr. Weston will be looking out for the following to decide the winners:

• A drawing for recipe submissions 
• A drawing for motivational posts
• The most event invites to friends 
• The Wellness MVP (the most engaged) 

How To Join & What To Expect  

This part is simple – all you have to do is RSVP to our official Facebook event! From there, you’ll receive notifications and updates from Dr. Weston and our wellness team.

You can expect a pre-planning video a few days before the event kicks off, telling you everything you’ll want to grab at the grocery store to help with the next week of mental and digestive recalibration. We’ll publish the next talk each afternoon, along with answers to your written questions and the next social challenge. 

Cap It All Off With The “Walk With Weston” Saturday, December 3 

While our virtual event will wrap up on Friday, every participant is also invited to our inaugural Walk With Weston in-person gathering on Saturday, December 3 at 9 a.m. (WAY before the Ohio State Big Ten Championship Game)! Together, we’ll walk across The Link Bridge in Dublin, Ohio and stroll through Bridge Park, discussing the wellness topics that impact you the most – with an emphasis on hormones.

You Deserve To Feel Your Best 

That time between Thanksgiving and Christmas can be hectic. Travel plans, seasonal visitors, PTO that you have to burn through before it expires – we get it! Together, we’ll use this one week of mindfulness to dull the chaos, reset our bodies, refocus our gratitude and hit the holidays as our best selves. Do you have any additional questions about this event?
