Freeze Away Stubborn Fat with CoolSculpting at Southern Cosmetic Laser

What is CoolSculpting?

Butterfly

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:

  • Flanks
  • Outer Thighs
  • Upper Arms
  • Inner Thighs
  • Chin
  • Back
  • Belly and Abdomen

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

Butterfly

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:

  • There is no prep time required for CoolSculpting from Southern Cosmetic Laser.
  • Patients can expect some very minor discomfort during the procedure. Many patients report no discomfort at all.
  • There is little-to-no downtime needed after your CoolSculpting procedure is complete.
  • It may take up to 12-16 weeks to see your final results.
  • This procedure eliminates fat permanently!

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) — Residents and business owners are expressing frustration with the ongoing Main Street Resurfacing Project, saying the unfinished construction is disrupting daily commutes and creating hazardous driving conditions.

Residents say the project has left drivers navigating bumps 2 to 3 inches high where old and new pavement meet.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation, which owns and maintains the road, completed the first layer of pavement but has not finished the second layer, creating inconsistencies in the road surface, the Town of Summerville says.

“They block intersections and I know they have to do that, but then when they leave it’s like nothing’s been done,” Barbara Dunning, a Summerville business owner at one of the intersections on Main Street, said.

Dunning said she drives slowly over the uneven sections to avoid tire damage.

“I drive very slowly over that hump because I don’t want my tires to bust,” she said.

Town officials say they have received numerous complaints about the project’s status and have contacted SCDOT to address residents’ concerns.

“We want to be excellent here at the town. And when a road is just not up to par, then people notice. And we love that. We want a community that says, ‘Hey, this isn’t up to par,’” Christopher Makowski, with the Town of Summerville, said.

Makowski said town officials had a productive conversation with SCDOT about the project’s problems and are using their partnership to expedite completion.

“We had a conversation with SCDOT, and we use that partnership that we have already built throughout all these years to be able to get a response and understand what’s going on and hopefully expedite the process so the project can get done,” he said.

SCDOT declined an interview but said they will continue working with their contractor and expect the project to be completed by the end of the year, weather permitting.

A long-anticipated Publix supermarket is finally turning dirt in Summerville’s Summers Corner development at 1612 Beech Hill Road.

First announced in January, the project generated new buzz Nov. 23 after the neighborhood posted the news on its Facebook page that the site is finally under construction. The post garnering 900 likes and more than 200 shares in just days.

A spokesperson for the Lakeland, Fla.-based grocer said the store expects to hire about 140 employees.

The Publix will be the anchor tenant for the new retail center, with plans calling for a 50,800-square-foot supermarket and eight 1,200-square-foot suites.

At full buildout, Summers Corner is expected to exceed 7,500 homes.

On a related note, Publix will mark its return to Daniel Island next Wednesday at 7 a.m., after a nearly year-long absence that left DI without its own full-service grocery store. The chain closed its original location at 162 Seven Farms Road in late 2024 and rebuilt a larger supermarket in its place in less than 12 months.

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday has pulled out of North Charleston leaving the chain with just one Lowcountry restaurant.

A sign on the door at 7400 Northside Drive directs customers to the West Ashley location at 1953 Savannah Highway. Company representatives did not respond to a request for comment.

Maryville, Tenn.-based Ruby Tuesday is owned NRD Capital, a private equity firm. The casual dining closed its Summerville location earlier this year.

Completely floored

Floor & Decor has opened its long-awaited warehouse store and design center at 1155 Holliday Farms Blvd. next to The Home Depot in Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant.

The new store employs about 50 workers and is led by Matthew Peiffer, whose title is chief executive merchant.

The Atlanta-based retailer specializes in flooring for homeowners and professionals. It operates more than 250 warehouse-style outlets nationwide, including South Carolina stores in North Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Murrells Inlet.

A ribbon cutting is set for Dec. 2 at the Mount Pleasant store, featuring giveaways including a $5,000 floor makeover and 2026 Charleston Southern University football season tickets.

Palm pleasant

Gwynn’s of Mount Pleasant, a mainstay luxury boutique that plans to open a second location in downtown Charleston, has unveiled five holiday window displays with a 1967-era Palm Springs, Calif. theme.

The department store’s inspiration this year is “A Holiday on Holiday” concept, capturing “the golden glow of a retro holiday.”

The mid-century-inspired vignettes include glittering garments, glowing pink flamingos and rotating disco balls that channel holiday department-store spectacles in major cities.

Market to market

A food truck is opening a brick-and-mortar downtown.

Luther’s Market & Eatery, known for its pastas, casseroles and sauces, will take over 227 Rutledge Ave., formerly home to Pinot & Provisions, which closed Oct. 31.

The new tenant is expected to open in January and will offer global comfort foods from the mother-and-son duo of Kiki Luthringshausen and Hudson Luthringshausen. Until then, their pastas and sauces are currently available via their food truck and at Corner Store, a grab-and-go market that opened this summer in West Ashley in the former home of Taco Bartina.

3rd First Watch

First Watch, a breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, will open its third Lowcountry restaurant on Dec. 15 at the Market Place at Carnes Crossroads in Goose Creek. Founded in 1983, the Florida-based chain operates more than 620 restaurants in 32 states, including locations in Summerville, North Charleston and Mount Pleasant.

Mall market

The Joy Market has returned to Citadel Mall in West Ashley with a rotating lineup of local vendors selling holiday goods. It runs Nov. 26–Dec. 30 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with gift-wrapping available.

Very neighborly

Park Circle home-decor shop Neighborly will celebrate its one-year anniversary with a holiday market on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 29 with live music, food trucks and 18 vendors.

The event will run from noon to 5 p.m.

Let it snow

Tanger Outlets in North Charleston will bring winter magic to shoppers with “snow flurries” every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. from Nov. 29 until Dec. 20 near the shopping center’s 40-foot-tall Christmas tree.

Kids can also leave messages for Santa via the mall’s “Santa Hotline.”

No. 1 pick

A national indoor pickleball club operator that's opening in North Charleston next month has announced a partnership with a fashion brand created for the sport's “court-to-cocktail” lifestyle.
