Few accomplishments are as rewarding as waking up in the morning and hitting your target weight. You've worked hard to drop those unwanted pounds all year long, and you deserve a huge round of applause for what you've accomplished. However, if you're like many men and women, getting the sleek, sculpted body you crave is easier said than done. You've got pockets of unwanted fat around your abdomen, thighs, chin, and other areas - fat that just won't go away, despite diet and exercise.
Wouldn't it be nice to just freeze that fat away and forget all about your love handles?
At Southern Cosmetic Laser, our new, revolutionary fat-freezing treatment can help you achieve the toned look you've been dreaming of. That's right - we're talking about literally freezing the unwanted fat off your problem areas without invasive surgeries or extended downtime.
This amazing treatment is called CoolSculpting, and it's the world's leading non-invasive fat reduction procedure. It's specifically designed for people already at their desired weight who want to push past that plateau for real body sculpting results. If you're tired of seeing that excess belly fat, saggy skin, or double chin, CoolSculpting is the procedure for you. Southern Cosmetic Laser offers a wide range of the newest technologies to target fat reduction, skin tightening, facial and body remodeling, body toning, and cellulite reduction.
CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved procedure that has undeniable results. With CoolSculpting, you can permanently get rid of your muffin top, fat around your flanks, and more, all from the comfort and convenience of the Southern Cosmetic Laser office.
Technically known as cryolipolysis, CoolSculpting has the ability to reduce the number of fat cells in targeted areas between 20 and 25%. This unique technology uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat with minimal recovery time. No needles, no scalpels, no liposuction. Just real results provided by a licensed, experienced professional.
While CoolSculpting helps eliminate fat cells in your body, it doesn't harm the surrounding skin and muscles. Instead, it treats fat that is directly under the skin, also called subcutaneous fat. Since CoolSculpting doesn't target visceral fat deposits, this treatment works best for men and women who are approaching or already at their desired weight.
CoolSculpting is approved by the FDA to help reduce fat in the following areas:
CoolSculpting results are noticeable, proven, and long-lasting, helping you look your best and feel great from every angle. This exciting procedure works because fat cells freeze at higher temps than other tissues. As such, CoolSculpting delivers controlled, targeted cooling to do away with unwanted fat underneath your skin. These fat cells are essentially frozen or crystallized and eventually die. With time, your body will process that fat and will eliminate the dead cells, leaving behind a more sculpted physique.
Here are some quick CoolSculpting facts at a glance, so you have a better idea of why this fat cell elimination treatment is so popular:
Our CoolSculpting procedure is crafted around your comfort, with one-on-one attention in a relaxing atmosphere. It all starts with a detailed assessment, which you will complete prior to your treatment. This assessment will help us better understand your goals and desires, so we can freeze away the stubborn fat from the areas that matter most.
Typical CoolSculpting appointments take about an hour per area, though that time varies with each patient. Because our CoolSculpting applicators use a vacuum system to help with placement, you may feel a pulling sensation in the targeted area. Once placement is complete, we get to work on freezing your fat.
Before treatment, your skin is prepped with an alcohol wipe. A gel pad is then placed on your treatment area to help protect your skin. From there, a cold sensation is delivered through our applicators, which are designed for specific body parts.
Because there is no sedation involved with CoolSculpting, we encourage you to kick back, relax, and watch a little TV. If you prefer, you can also read or use your phone to check your favorite social media sites. Our friendly, experienced CoolSculpting technicians strive to keep you as comfy as possible during this quick treatment. When it's over, you can resume normal activities as soon as you like - there's no recovery or downtime to worry about!
CoolSculpting procedures are perhaps best known for eliminating stubborn belly fat, giving the patient a desirable, contoured tummy. However, this treatment is also very effective on other areas of your body:
While neck fat usually goes hand-in-hand with weight gain, symptoms like double chins can appear even if you're not overweight. CoolSculpting helps solve neck fat problems by eliminating fat cells in the area below your chin, giving you a slim, youthful appearance.
Many men and women begin CoolSculpting treatments to destroy fat around the abdomen or midsection. CoolSculpting does so by freezing stubborn subcutaneous fat in the abdominal region, resulting in a trimmed-up tummy. Remember, CoolSculpting does not treat visceral fat, or the fatty tissue surrounding the organs in your abdomen.
Back fat is a serious problem for many people in the U.S. This includes the upper back (where fat rolls over the bra), the mid-back (near the waist), and the lower back (where fat bulges over the beltline). Back fat can be hard to tone, but with CoolSculpting from Southern Cosmetic Laser in Goose Creek, SC it's more than possible.
When it comes to stubborn fat, your upper arms are often the most difficult areas to treat. If you are constantly trying to hide your upper arms from friends and family, CoolSculpting is an excellent option to help overcome your insecurity.
Sometimes called saddlebags or flanks, love handles are the flabby areas that protrude from your hips. Love handles are often caused by fat retention over long periods of time. They can appear very pronounced in tight clothing, leading to feelings of embarrassment. Common factors that contribute to love handles are age, slow metabolism, hormones, and diets high in sugars and fats. With Southern Cosmetic Laser's CoolSculpting, patients leave behind stubborn love handles, helping them achieve a slimmer, more fit appearance.
If you are in good shape but suffer from chafing or discomfort due to fatty thighs, your solution could be at Southern Cosmetic Laser. Our technicians can help freeze away inner thigh fat, so you feel proud to wear skirts, shorts, and bikinis.
Q: Does CoolSculpting really work?
A: Yes! Southern Cosmetic Laser wouldn't be one of the most trusted providers of the treatment if it didn't work.

Q: How much does CoolSculpting cost?
A: Pricing varies depending on the areas you focus on and how many sessions you need in order to reach your goals. Our team will craft a custom treatment plan specific to you during your initial CoolSculpting consultation.
Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: Many patients can see results as soon as three weeks after their first CoolSculpting procedure in Goose Creek, SC. As your body continues to dispose of crystallized fat cells, you can see even more changes with time.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. – Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in Goose Creek can expect smoother, safer travels in the near future.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has officially kicked off a major infrastructure improvement project along Red Bank Road and Henry E. Brown Jr. Boulevard, aiming to modernize key intersections and roadways through the heart of the city.
SEE ALSO:
Work is already underway, with current efforts focused on drainage upgrades and initial road widening at the Red Bank Road and Henry E. Brown Jr. Boulevard intersection. According to Berkeley County officials, the larger project scope includes installing concrete medians, enhancing pedestrian access with new sidewalks, upgrading traffic signals, resurfacing asphalt, and improving signage along the Red Bank Road corridor.
Come fall 2025, drivers can expect to see continued progress with traffic signal installations and intersection paving at key junctions including Eagle Road, Harbor Lake Drive, and Bayshore Drive.

The full suite of improvements is slated for completion by August 2026.
These upgrades come on the heels of Berkeley County’s recently completed Red Bank Road Gravity Sewer Project, which wrapped in April 2025. That project boosted local sewer capacity and helped prevent future overflows by installing a new gravity sewer main between Sunrise Boulevard and Henry E. Brown Jr. Boulevard.
Together, the projects mark a coordinated effort to modernize Goose Creek’s infrastructure—above and below ground—for years to come.
