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 North Charleston, 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. According to recent statistics, CoolSculpting treatments can reduce fat reduction by as much as 25% in the affected area. Contact our office today for your initial consultation, where our team will advise you on how many treatments you need to meet your goals.
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 North Charleston. As your body continues to dispose of crystallized fat cells, you can see even more changes with time.
Q: Does CoolSculpting eliminate cellulite?
A: CoolSculpting is designed for fat reduction. However, it may help contribute to cellulite reduction in specific treatment areas. There are currently no FDA clearances for cellulite reduction with CoolSculpting. However, our office offers incredible treatments like Inmode Evolve to reduce the appearance of cellulite and trim, tighten, and tone your skin.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The residents of one North Charleston neighborhood say their mail hasn’t been delivered in weeks after a dog bit a mail carrier.
Those who live on Irving Avenue first noticed they hadn’t been getting their mail around the end of January. They say that’s because their mail carrier has been bitten by a dog twice on their road.
Evone Williams says her mother and sister who live together on Irving Avenue were late paying their bills because they were never notified that their mail was being held at the post office.
When they first realized they weren’t receiving their mail, they asked someone who lives a street over if he was getting his mail, and he was. This made Williams wonder why her mother and sister weren’t receiving theirs.
“My sister told me that the lady down the street called and said that she had to go to the post office to get her mail. Why? What’s going on with that?” Williams says.
Williams’ sister contacted the postmaster and was told a supervisor would be contacting her, but she never heard from them.
She went to the post office to see what was going on, and she was told that the carrier was bitten twice by a resident’s dog on that street.
She was also told that they were getting a new carrier to deliver mail to Irving Avenue, but never gave her a time frame of when delivery services would return to normal.
“She was late paying her bills and everything. My mother was waiting for important mail to come through and it was all hung up at the post office” Williams says.
Williams didn’t understand why the carrier couldn’t bypass the house with the dog and deliver the mail to the other residents who didn’t have dogs. She says this situation has been very inconvenient for her having to go out of the way to pick up her family members’ mail and that she hopes the situation is resolved soon.
The U.S. Postal Service Southern Area Corporate Communications provided the following statement regarding the situation:
The Postal Service places the safety of its employees and customers as a top priority. If a letter carrier feels threatened by a vicious dog or if a dog is running loose, the owner may be asked to pick up the mail at the Post Office until the carrier is assured the pet has been restrained. If the dog is roaming the neighborhood, the pet owner’s neighbors may be asked to pick up their mail at the Pinehaven Post Office as well. In this instance, local management is committed to making every attempt to provide service, while also ensuring the safety and well-being of our carrier. At this time, the carrier will make delivery, only if it is safe to do so. Continued encounters with this or any other loose dog may necessitate additional future temporary suspension of delivery. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been experienced by customers living in the North Charleston community. The Post Service appreciates our customers’ patience as we continue to work with all stakeholders to successfully resolve this situation.

NORTH CHARLESTON — Tony Williams used the pandemic shutdown to sharpen his home-brewing skills. Like other Charleston locals who jumped into home brewing during that time, Williams’ hobby turned into much more when he and Chris Shelley began discussing their dream brewery.
The beer program would offer easy drinking ales, dark stouts and everything in between, while the setting would be family friendly with an arcade section and console games like Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64.
That’s exactly what patrons will find at High Score Brewing Co., which opened at 8120 Windsor Hill Boulevard, Suite 203, in December.
The brewery is 5,000 square feet, 4,000 of which are dedicated to the taproom, where games are free for customers. While parents are sipping on a Praise the Sun cream ale or Super Smash IPA, Williams hopes they can share the nostalgia for their favorite childhood games with their kids.
“We will eventually have anything anyone could desire,” Williams said, discussing the beer program. “We like to make sure that we have a broad spectrum that appeals to most people.”
High Score Brewing Co. will eventually serve food out of a scratch kitchen. While that buildout continues, patrons can order from food trucks like The Wedge and Smash City Burgers that have been popping up at the brewery.
High Score Brewing Co. is open from 4-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; noon-9 p.m. Friday-Saturday; and noon-8 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit highscorebrewing.com.
Bar Tab is a recurring column in The Post and Courier Food section that highlights a locally made or sold adult beverage.
The Ordinary’s beverage manager, Christian Favier, spent a decade in New York City’s restaurants and bars before coming to work in Charleston, a city he said is top-notch for its size when it comes to wine but a place he still sees in its infancy as far as cocktails go.
He hopes he’s part of that growth at the oyster bar off King Street, where rum reigns on the menu of a dozen drinks that range from classics to twists. Since stepping into his role, he’s taken the tiki-heavy menu and turned it into a more modern rum menu, devoid of the culturally appropriating Polynesian imagery that was born out of the 1950s movement in California but still full of both old and new Caribbean flavors.
At the top is the daiquiri, a drink Favier said if you don’t know how to do right, you have no business in rum.
“When we talk about kind of the quintessential representation of rum cocktails, the daiquiri is the standout,” said Favier.
The daiquiri here is simple: a house rum blend, fresh lime juice and sugar, shaken and stirred.
But there’s also a fun rotating version, dubbed The Ordinary Daiquiri. The one currently on the menu is the eighth rendition, thus Daiquiri #8, and it was my absolute favorite I tasted during the evening, made with El Dorado, brown butter, rosemary, maple and lime.
Another highlight on the menu is the Bad John, made with Angostura bitters, salted lime, lemon and fluffy pineapple. It’s inspired, like much of the menu, by a fresher take on Caribbean favorites and flavors. The pineapple is chopped and thrown in a juicer behind the counter, where it’s turned into the drink’s notable fluffy concoction that tastes light and airy.
Don’t discount the Batida Sazonal either, made with Novo Fogo cachaça, condensed milk, lime and pomegranate. Or the Coco y whiskey, with Japanese-style single malt whiskey, oolong tea and coconut water.
The on-draft mojito is an additional fun and fresh touch, though I had to muddle my own mint in the glass to make this one to my taste.
For another funky specialty, try the frozen Pastis Painkiller, which has a divine licorice flavor. (I’ve been into Absinthe recently!) No Absinthe involved here, though — just a spicy and aromatic French pastis bringing out those licorice notes — paired with Coco Lopez, fresh pineapple, orange and nutmeg.
For food, I started off with the snapper ponzu with citrus, Asian pear and cilantro, then dove into the rock shrimp rice, made with a buttery Carolina Gold rice and packed with perfectly textured veggies with crispy sunchokes on top. Both delicious and great pairings to the cocktails.
Favier is headed to Barbados soon for more research, so expect some new drinks to arrive on the menu once he’s back.
