If this is your first foray into laser hair removal services, you're probably wondering how it all works.
Don't worry; we've got you covered!

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser, or concentrated beam of light, to remove unwanted hair on your body. During our laser hair removal services, the light from the laser is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. That light is then converted to heat, which damages your hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. Most laser hair removal services are quick and can be completed in about 30 minutes. This treatment can be accomplished during a lunch break or quickly after work.

What Happens During Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Southern Cosmetic Laser hair removal involves several steps. Once you schedule an appointment, you will need to shave prior to your treatment. You will need to avoid plucking, waxing, threading and depilatory creams at least three weeks prior to treatment. During your day of treatment, the following will occur:

Clean the treatment area to kill germs and bacteria
Provide you with protective goggles or glasses to wear.
Commence laser hair removal treatment using our cutting-edge lasers.
A topical cooling product such as aloe may be applied after the treatment.
Send you on your way feeling smooth and satisfied.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Services usually require an average of six to eight sessions with periodic touchups. However, sessions vary depending on your schedule and the area of your body that needs treatment. You may need more services on areas where hair grows quickly, like your upper lip. Some areas, like places on your back, will not require as many laser treatment sessions.

Skin Rejuvenation in Barnwell, SC

We offer the most advanced skin rejuvenation services for all skin types for both men and women. We believe in these 3 Basic Principles of Aging!

Skin Integrity
Toxins
Dermal Fillers

At Southern Cosmetic Laser we can't turn back the hands of time, but we've seen by applying these three steps in a systematic approach you can achieve long lasting, amazing more youthful results. You may even have people say to you, "Wow, you look amazing! What's your secret?"

Natural aging and a lifetime of involuntary facial muscle actions contribute to the formation of tiny wrinkles, creases and fine lines that can make you look angry, tired or older than you feel. Over time skin loses volume, collagen and elastin and can become thinner and begin to sag.

At Southern Cosmetic Laser, our skin rejuvenation services are some of the most popular laser skin services offered. Skin rejuvenation is a non-surgical treatment that helps you look as vibrant as you feel. Unlike traditional cosmetic surgeries, proper skin rejuvenation doesn't require you to put your skin or health at risk to achieve beautiful results. Instead, our skin rejuvenation options are safe and offer multiple benefits for people suffering from skin defects like scarring, acne and aging.

We can rejuvenate your skin using a variety of laser skin services in Barnwell, including resurfacing, energy-based laser tightening and lifting, and other laser-based services.

There are numerous benefits to skin rejuvenation, including:

Reduction of Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Diminished Sunspots
Acne Suppression

Improvement of Acne Scars
Redness and Rosacea Relief

Skincare Injectables and Fillers
in Barnwell, SC

Dermal fillers have changed the face of the medical cosmetic industry. About 10 million dermal services are applied every year. Fillers are used in shaping the face, lifting, volumizing and minimizing wrinkles. Fillers replace fat and bone less, lift and support. When combined with laser skin services and neurotoxins our patients can stick to an easy regimen that helps them maintain gorgeous, smooth skin.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Many of our patients know they want anti-aging services like fillers to help smooth out wrinkles and help lift. However, they don't know how dermal fillers, or injectables, work.

As people age, they lose collagen, elastin, and perhaps more importantly, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture in your skin. Injectables that utilize hyaluronic acid and other substances help replace lost moisture, resulting in fuller, more radiant skin. Injectables and fillers can also help add extra volume to your lips and cheeks and firm up saggy skin.

Often, our patients see results after a single treatment, which can last as long as 9 to 18 months. Our patients choose Southern Cosmetic Laser because our fillers give a natural-looking result without affecting facial expressions, making for a discreet yet effective treatment.

Where Are Injectables Used?

We discuss and explain various types of fillers and decide which is best for you.

At Southern Cosmetic Laser, we offer personalized filler services for a number of problem areas, such as:

Marionette Lines: These lines go directly down from the corners of your mouth and become more pronounced over time as your face loses volume.
Cheeks: As you age, your cheeks lose volume, making you look gaunt and elderly. Our fillers plump up your cheeks, giving you a more youthful look without plastic surgery.
Lips: Plumping up our patient's lips is one of our most popular injectable skincare services in Barnwell. Our lip filler services are customized to each patient's preference, meaning we can help with subtle enhancements or obvious upgrades.
Jaw and jawline areas.

Anti-Aging Injectable Services in Barnwell, SC

Finding the right filler can be confusing, but our experienced medical team will work with you to discover the best treatment options for your goals. Some of our most popular injectable services include:

Dermal Fillers: Products such as Juvederm XC, Radiesse, Bellafill and Restylane are used for facial lifting and contouring. They are great for filling in thin lips, tightening saggy skin, helping with skin laxity, and more.

Botox: Botox and similar products like Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin are wrinkle-smoothing neuromodulators that treat horizontal lines across the forehead. They are also very effective at reducing crow's feet and perpendicular frown lines between your eyebrows and other areas.

Nova Threads: This is another non-surgical option that can create an immediate facelift, which tightens and smooths your skin. Products like Nova Lyft and Nova Mesh are excellent if you have saggy skin, thin lips, or need collagen stimulation. We help you decided which is best for your face and skin type.

B12 Shots: B12 works wonderfully and promotes the growth of healthy skin cells, which repair damaged skin. Aging and certain medical conditions affect your body's ability to absorb B12, leaving you tired and forgetful. Regular B12 injections from Southern Cosmetic Laser help your body absorb the B12 it needs. That way, you're more alert during the day and benefit from healthier skin, nails, and hair.

Barnwell couldn’t stay out of its own way early Friday night, leading to a first-quarter deficit at Aiken High in a matchup of two football teams loaded with youth.

The Warhorses corrected themselves from there, stepping aside to allow themselves the opportunity to be successful. Aiken, on the other hand, continued to fight against a current it created until the very end.

Barnwell scored 26 consecutive points in a 26-12 win that is the Warhorses’ second in a row and third of the season, a no-pictures-on-the-scorecard kind of victory for Brian Smith, who in his first year at Barnwell is also the golf coach. Aiken is still searching for its first win under Dwayne Garrick.

“I felt good about us all night. I thought our kids were executing and playing well, but it was a couple mistakes here and there,” Smith said. “We came out in the second half and did some of the things that we do, and we didn’t beat Barnwell tonight. That’s the big thing is you can’t beat Barnwell. I’ve said it every week, we can’t beat ourselves. We’re still young, and we’re still learning. But our kids are fighting hard, and I love their effort. I love being around them, and I love coaching them every day.”

Barnwell (3-2) was quickly facing a 12-0 deficit after a rough start that included a three-and-out on the offense’s first possession, followed by a quick kickoff recovered by Aiken (0-5) after scoring 4:41 into the game.

Luke Jones put the Hornets on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run, and then Jahnari Mole ran in from 12 yards out as Aiken took advantage of the short field for a 12-0 lead with 4:15 left in the first quarter.

But that was all of the scoring for Aiken, as the Hornets’ remaining drives ended with either punts or turnovers.

“Got to keep grinding. Got to keep working, you know what I’m saying?,” Garrick said. “Got to keep trying to get a little better each week. We’re struggling up front, trying to run the ball and protect. If you’ve got one phase of the game, you can kind of sneak the other one in there a little bit. When you can’t do either one, and there’s where it all starts, and that’s where we’ve got to get better.

“We’ve got to get better in the weight room. We’re young, so it’s a combination of a lot of things. They’re pretty good kids, and they work pretty hard. We need time, you know what I mean? Time to try to get the process going and try to get a little better. Main thing is we’ve got to get stronger.”

Barnwell quarterback Cameron Austin started the game 0-for-6 passing - “with like eight drops,” Smith quipped - but heated up after a late hit on the Barnwell sideline following a 10-yard run. Austin completed four of his next five passes on the drive, the last one a 21-yard touchdown to Logan Sturkie with 8:04 left in the quarter to pull the Warhorses within 12-10.

Austin finished the game 9-for-18 for 100 yards, and he also ran it 14 times for 42 yards plus two successful two-point conversions. Sturkie was his top target, catching seven passes for 83 yards and the score. Jaquan and Jordan Peeples each rushed for 47 yards and a second-half touchdown as the Warhorses put the game away.

“We’re going to play every week as well as Cameron plays,” Smith said. “We call a bunch of pass plays, and with what we do there’s going to do some drops. It’s just like when you run the option back in the old days, the ball’s on the ground some. Well, we don’t want them, but you’re going to see them on Saturday and you’re going to see them on Sunday. Our kids know they’re going to work hard this week to get rid of that. We pride ourselves on that. It’s just our mistakes, and we’ve got to get better at it.”

Jones went 13-for-28 for 138 yards and two interceptions, one by Sturkie and one by Kahzeer Wesley, and several of his pass attempts went to receivers who weren’t looking for the ball. Mole was the Hornets’ leading rusher with 45 yards on 11 carries, but as a team Aiken rushed for just 85 yards on 30 attempts. Cam’ron Frazier was Aiken’s leading receiver with 58 yards on four catches.

“We got behind the chains a couple times. Whether it was getting hit in the end zone, or I think we had a bad snap or two,” Garrick said. “We’re not good enough to get 15 yards. It’s all we can do to get 10 yards. We definitely aren’t good enough to get 15 or 18, so we can’t play behind the chains. Outside of that, it is what it is. Just keep grinding. It’s a process, as much as I keep having to say that word. I get tired of saying that word, to tell you the truth.”

BARNWELL, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - The family of Regina Arroyo is still searching for answers weeks after her body was found in the North Fork Edisto River in Lexington County.

Arroyo went missing on Dec. 1 and her body was found on Dec. 3.

She was an advocate for animal welfare and ran a transportation service that rescued animals from kill shelters.

“She really had the biggest heart,” said Mindy Chrysler, Regina’s daughter. “‘I love you always. I’ll see you later.’ That was always her thing.”

Regina had five children. Chrysler said Regina would always leave notes for them every time she would visit.

“Never thought that there would be this day where I wasn’t going to see her again,” said Chrysler.

The last time Chrysler texted her mom was on Thanksgiving. Around that time, Regina was doing a pet transportation. Shortly after, her family reported her missing.

“After the first day and there was still no sign of her, I knew that something horrible had happened and she wasn’t going to be coming home,” said Chrysler.

Chrysler’s instincts were right. At the beginning of December, authorities showed up at her doorstep to let her know her mom was dead.

Oops! Something went wrong.

An unexpected error occurred. Please see our support page (0: error)

“I don’t even remember what my first thought was,” said Chrysler. “I was crying and then I heard my daughter crying. I couldn’t process anything really.”

The fact that she’ll never hear her mom’s voice or have another phone call with her is what hurts the most.

“I just miss her saying that it’s gonna be ok because right now I don’t know if it’s gonna be ok,” said Chrysler.

The one thing that keeps her going is those small reminders from her mom.

“That’s always been her thing. You just can’t give up, you got to keep trying and it’s going to work,” said Chrysler.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Spectrum, the #1 rural internet provider in the nation^*, today announced the launch of Spectrum Internet, Mobile, TV and Voice services to more than 1950 homes and small businesses in Barnwell County. Spectrum’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout in Barnwell County is part of the company’s approximately $5 billion RDOF-related investment in unserved rural communities, partly offset by $1.2 billion in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) RDOF auction.

The company’s RDOF expansion will provide broadband access to 1.3 million customer locations across 24 states in the coming years. Spectrum has also won more than $700 million in state broadband expansion subsidies, which, combined with Spectrum investment, will connect another 300,000 homes and small businesses.

“Spectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in South Carolina and across America through RDOF,” said Tim Williams, Vice President of Construction at Spectrum. “Our investment is making it possible to deliver the high-value broadband, mobile, TV and voice services now available in Barnwell County. We are providing local residents and small businesses superior connectivity at highly competitive prices, backed by a team of skilled local technicians and 100% U.S.-based customer service.”

Spectrum Business Internet offers customers 1 Gbps download speeds, with 300 Mbps and 600 Mbps options. The company has also begun a network evolution that will provide gigabit upstream speeds and multiple gigabit download speeds across its entire 41-state service area.

“I applaud Spectrum’s investment in Barnwell County, and its quick work to bring high-speed broadband to rural communities here,” said Daniel Alexander, Barnwell County Councilman. “Partnerships with companies like Spectrum help ensure our rural areas have the same resources as our urban neighbors.”

Spectrum Internet exceeded advertised download and upload speeds for all tiers measured — even during peak weeknight usage between 7 and 11 p.m. — according to the FCC’s most recent “Measuring Broadband America Fixed Broadband Report” issued in January 2023.

Along with multiple broadband options, Spectrum services now available also include Spectrum Mobile^™ and Spectrum TV^®. Spectrum Mobile is the nation’s fastest-growing mobile provider^** and combines with Spectrum Internet and Advanced WiFi to provide seamless connectivity inside and outside the home. Spectrum Mobile provides customers access to nationwide 5G at great value, with Unlimited lines starting at $29.99 a month, as well as By the Gig options.

New bridge could connect Barnwell, Burke Counties

BARNWELL COUNTY, S.C. (WJBF) — People in Barnwell and Burke Counties could soon have an easier way to get between the two.

“There’s been a movement for 50 years to do this,” Barnwell County Council Chairman Jerry Creech said.

A new bridge is expected to cut commute times and boost economic opportunities in both counties. The project involves building a bridge over the Savannah River, connecting Highway 125 in South Carolina with Highway 23 near Waynesboro.

“If you are up in Augusta area, you’ve got five or six different avenues you can go across that river. We don’t have that luxury down here,” Barnwell County Councilman Donald Harper added.

Only two bridges link South Carolina to Georgia in the area. One in Beech Island and the other 62 miles down the river.

“It’ll save everybody in Barnwell at least an hour, if not an hour and a half commute time. If you are working at Vogel or anything on Georgia’s side, it’ll save you at least an hour,” Creech said.

In addition to cutting commute times, it’s expected to provide convenience for residents and attract new businesses.

“We got several prospects this year with, if we get all the industry that is presently planning on coming here, we gotta have more people in all this region around here, Allendale, Bamberg, Counties especially,” he said.

“We need something to attract people and we really don’t have it now. We are working on that, like you said, with the pool at the Y and, and the other, other things that are for quality of life,” Harper added.

County leaders want the plan to be included in the South Carolina Department of Transportation’s 10-year improvement plan.

“We have already approached our local legislative delegation. We went to the regional transportation group, which is the Lower Savannah Council of Government. They have given this our approval and put it on their list for the next 10-year project. I would say it would take at least 10 years to complete,” Creech shared.

The project is still in its infancy. The county will need to have access to the river from SRS.

An engineering study will also need to be completed.
