If you have never had a laser skin treatment before, it might seem like a scary proposition at first. However, as many of our patients will tell you, procedures like laser hair removal can be life-changing. Laser skin services are not only effective - they're growing in popularity. According to a study, nearly 4.1 million laser skin services were performed in 2019. Whether you're looking to remove unwanted hair or achieve a more unified skin tone, laser services can help.
Some of the most requested laser skin services at Southern Cosmetic Laser include:
Unwanted hair. You know it's there, and just about every day, you've got to shave, pluck, and tweeze your way to removing it. But what if we told you there was a permanent solution to reduce your unwanted hair problem?
At Southern Cosmetic Laser, our laser hair removal services target hair follicles giving your skin the smooth, silky feel you've may desire. Laser hair removal services save you time in shaving - a proposition that seemed impossible a few years ago.
Using the most up-to-date lasers for our services, we offer a permanent hair-reduction solution for all skin types, making it a quick, effective treatment for any ethnicity. Our state-of-the-art laser technologies emit a laser beam that penetrates your hair follicles, destroying the root while preserving your skin.
Our clients are ditching their razors and choosing our lasers to remove hair from their bikini lines, underarms,
upper lips, legs, arms, face, chest and back.
A few benefits of laser hair removal include:
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!
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.
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:
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.
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!
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 Daniel Island, including resurfacing, energy-based laser tightening and lifting, and other laser-based services.
There are numerous benefits to skin rejuvenation, including:

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.
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.
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:
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.
Getting a tattoo is an art. Removing a tattoo is another art. There are numerous variables that are considered in laser tattoo removal. Southern Cosmetic Laser is compassionate in helping rid those unwanted tattoos. We use superior technologies to customize services for the patient and their tattoo. We work with clients to provide optimal outcomes at affordable, comparable pricing. We want to spend your money wisely and want to achieve the best outcome possible with minimal services.

Whether it’s overheard at the barber shop, dropped into dinner table chatter, or debated over drinks with friends, talk of the economy is everywhere these days. What was once the realm of economists and policy wonks – think tariffs and trade wars – has crept into everyday conversations in a way few would’ve predicted just a few years ago.
In an effort to better understand what South Carolinians are actually talking about when they talk money, MarketBeat.com surveyed more than 2,750 adults. The results paint a vivid picture of a state navigating economic uncertainty, where everyday pressures – like grocery bills – still take center stage, even as once-arcane terms, like tariffs, are entering the mainstream.
What’s on South Carolinians' Minds? Despite the news cycle's focus on international trade and the stock market, it turns out the most common economic topic in everyday conversation is still simple: grocery prices. However, in what would have been unthinkable just a month ago, tariffs talk has now surged, now ranking among the most discussed topics among South Carolinians.
The six most commonly discussed financial topics among South Carolinians are:
1. Grocery and food prices 2. Tariffs and trade wars 3. Housing costs, energy bills, and gas prices 4. Stock market fluctuations 5. Tax refunds and tax cuts 6. Job loss, job changes, and the rise of AI in the workplace
These findings underscore something intuitive: while people might casually mention stock prices or political decisions, it’s the things that hit closest to home – literally and figuratively – that dominate our daily conversations.
The Worries Behind the Words Beyond what people talk about in everyday conversation, the survey also looked at what South Carolinians actually worry about. Not surprisingly, grocery costs came out on top again, cited by nearly a quarter of respondents as a financial stressor they think about more often than they’d like to admit.
Rent and mortgage payments tied with concerns about retirement savings (both at 19%), followed by credit card debt (13%). Job loss came in at 11%, with another 10% saying they’re uneasy about the possibility of AI replacing their jobs. Medical debt, while lower on the list, was still a concern for 5% of those polled.
When asked what they’d cut first if prices continue to rise, more than half of South Carolinians said they’d rein in restaurant meals or takeout spending. Subscriptions like Netflix or Spotify were next on the chopping block, followed by groceries – though most people said they’d simply switch brands or cut back on non-essentials, rather than skipping meals. Only a small fraction said they’d cut back on commuting or health care.
Tariffs: From Obscure Policy to Party Talk
Once a term most Americans could barely define, tariffs have become conversational. Now, whether people understand them fully or not, tariffs are on the tip of a lot of tongues. In fact, MarketBeat.com created a quiz so people can test themselves on their tariffs knowledge.
Despite the hesitation, 80% of respondents said they believe they understand how tariffs work. Whether that’s accurate is another matter, but it suggests that public awareness around global trade issues has grown considerably in recent years.
As for where South Carolinians are getting their information on tariffs, the news media still leads the way, with 58% saying it’s their main source. Social media trails behind at 30%, while podcasts, YouTube, and everyday conversations with friends or coworkers each clock in at around 6%.
“The numbers tell us something we’ve all felt for a while now – people are more engaged with economic issues than they used to be," said Matt Paulson, founder of MarketBeat.com in the company’s press release. "The rising cost of food, fears about job security, and the visibility of trade policy in the headlines have brought these conversations into everyday life. It’s not just about understanding the big picture anymore – it’s about how those big issues hit close to home.”

DANIEL ISLAND, S.C. - The NC State women's golf team earned its first win in nearly eight years, finishing at 17-under 847 (280-282-285) to lead the field in wire-to-wire fashion at the Daniel Island Invitational in Daniel Island, South Carolina. That 54-hole score matched a program record previously set at the 2023 ICON Invitational.
This tournament win is the first for NC State women's golf head coach Darby Sligh, as well as the first for the program since 2017 when the Pack won the Ocean Course Invitational.
NC State led the field after each round and pushed ahead to beat host College of Charleston by three strokes. Marie Eline Madsen led the Pack and finished in second place with an 11-under 205 (67-66-72) and Vania Simont finished with a season-low 6-under 210 (69-70-71).
Madsen was on fire this weekend with an 11-under 205, finishing at par or under in all three rounds. The Denmark native's 205 is the second lowest score in school history and a freshman 54-hole record. Madsen logged a 5-under 67 in the first round and followed that up with a 6-under 66 in the second. In the tournament, she finished with the second most birdies (16) and par 5s average (4.58) and third best par 4s average (3.83) among 75 golfers. She now has seven rounds in the 60s and 12 rounds at par or better this season.
Simont finished with a 6-under 210 (69-70-71) to finish in fifth for her first career top five finish. The Mexico City, Mexico native started out the tournament with a 3-under 69 behind four birdies and 13 pars with one just bogey. Her 2-under 70 in the second round was done behind three birdies, 14 pars and one bogey. The 69 is her fifth career round in the 60s. Simont's par 4s average (3.90) was the sixth best in the tournament field.
Lauren Olivares Leon was solid all week to finish with a 2-under 214 (72-72-70) to log 11th. Her 2-under 70 in the third round jumped her up four spots on the leaderboard, doing so behind four birdies, 12 pars and just two bogeys. She finished tied for second in par 4s (4.58) in the field. Olivares Leon now has 10 rounds at par or under and 48 in her career.
Jaclyn Kenzel had the best performance of her collegiate career, finishing with a 2-over 218 (72-74-72) to log a tie for 15th. The graduate finished with eight birdies, 37 pars, eight bogeys and a double bogey.
Caitlin Whitehead finished in a tie for 52nd with a 15-over (74-80-77) 231. She finished with four birdies, 35 pars, 13 bogeys and two double bogeys. Lea Ludwig played as an individual and wrapped up the tournament with a career-high tie for 36th place. She finished with a 7-over 223 (75-73-75), a career-low 54 hole score.
