843-277-2240If 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 Santee, 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.

SANTEE, S.C. (WIS) - A fire on Christmas night destroyed a popular barbeque restaurant in Santee.
Crews were called out to The Lone Star BBQ and Mercantile on State Park Road Monday night.
The entire restaurant was in flames, and it took hours to put out the fire.
The Lone Star BBQ and Mercantile has been a historical landmark in Santee since 1883.
″All I can think about is the memories that we’ve made here,” said Rachel Henderson, the owner of the restaurant.
Henderson took over the restaurant in 2020 after its previous owner of 22 years looked for a potential buyer.
”They kept talking and talking, and I said I’ll come work for you for three months. And, I came here and worked for them for three months and I fell in love with it,” said Henderson.
The oldest building was built in 1883, and the youngest building was built 100 years ago after being moved to Santee from Lone Star, South Carolina.
The restaurant had military memorabilia and served home-cooked Southern meals. Customers from across the country, as far as New York and Canada, would gather there for entertainment events, catering events and so much more.
On Tuesday, people stopped to take pictures and video of the damage.
Henderson expressed her emotion detailing the rich history of the restaurant she said cannot be replaced.
“There’s no way to replace what was here. All we can do is… you know… of course we want to come back. Of course we want to reopen and have another business. But it’s just so sad because you can’t replace its history. You just can’t replace it,” Henderson stated.
Henderson told WIS News 10 that she’s heard from the Orangeburg Fire Chief that the cause of the fire was due to faulty wiring.
We’ve contacted the Orangeburg County Fire District and have not heard back.
Henderson stated there are currently no future plans for the restaurant.

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – Santee Cooper received the 2023 Lower Region Group Leadership Award from the South Carolina Litter Control Association and Palmetto Pride/Keep SC Beautiful. The award recognizes Santee Cooper for its partnership with Keep Conway Beautiful and its commitment to helping with monthly cleanups for the organization.
“Our team strives to not only be a part of the communities where we live but to make them better,” said Energy Advisor Parker Diedrich, who accepted the award and helps lead the events for Santee Cooper. “We enjoy helping Keep Conway Beautiful and similar organizations around the area.”
Keep Conway Beautiful meets monthly to pick up litter within the city. In 2022, 71 Santee Cooper team members helped clean up 720 pounds of litter. So far this year, 85 team members have picked up 430 pounds of litter along more than four miles of roadway.
“Santee Cooper employees reached out to me with the initial idea of the cleanups and helped to establish our first ever ‘Utility Service Day’ that resulted in us cleaning up almost 600 pounds of litter in an hour with a little over 75 volunteers from several utilities for this one event,” said Nevada Mileur, Program Coordinator for Keep Conway Beautiful. “These cleanups would not exist without the hard work and dedication of the Santee Cooper employees. We are appreciative that they partnered with us to make a difference in our community.”
Santee Cooper received the award from the South Carolina Litter Control Association and PalmettoPride/Keep SC Beautiful at a Sept. 7 awards ceremony. The City of Conway recognized Santee Cooper’s award at its Sept. 18 council meeting.

According to an announcement from DC BLOX, a leading provider of data centers, dark fiber, cable landing stations and connectivity solutions that deliver infrastructure to power digital businesses in the Southeast United States, the company recently completed the purchase from Santee Cooper of 27.5 acres in Berkeley County.
The plans are to construct a data center at the site. The facility in the Camp Hall commerce park will be the third data center the company has committed to building in South Carolina.
The preliminary plan for the site includes, according to the announcement, four buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet of space. The company states Berkeley County is an attractive location for data centers given the available power from Santee Cooper, its proximity to Charleston and to Google’s data center in Moncks Corner.
“Camp Hall is proving to be a prime location for industrial development and investment in our County,” said Berkeley County Supervisor Johnny Cribb in the statement. “As the need for digital infrastructure becomes increasingly paramount in today’s world, we are happy to welcome DC BLOX to our area. We are confident this company’s new data center will serve as a critical asset for the information technology sector in our County, region, and beyond.”
In addition to new data centers, DC BLOX is also building a new high-capacity dark fiber route between its Myrtle Beach CLS and Atlanta that runs through Berkeley County, enabling an express route to the connectivity and data center hubs in Atlanta.
“DC BLOX has quickly positioned itself to serve the rapidly growing needs for digital infrastructure in the Southeast,” said Jeff Uphues, DC BLOX CEO.
Camp Hall, located in Berkeley County, is unique among industrial parks because of its focus on the environment, workforce and technology, it said in the announcement.
The commerce park is designed with growth in mind with the infrastructure, permits and entitlements in place. Camp Hall is being developed by Santee Cooper, South Carolina’s state-owned electric and water utility.
“Camp Hall is a strategic location for DC BLOX, which will encourage and support technology-driven industries and quality jobs in the Berkeley County and greater Charleston area,” said Jimmy Staton, Santee Cooper President and CEO in a statement. “We are happy to welcome DC BLOX to Camp Hall and the Santee Cooper family.”
DC BLOX operates other South Carolina data centers in Greenville and its new cable landing station in Myrtle Beach. Additional locations available for expansion include Atlanta; Birmingham and Huntsville, Ala.; and Chattanooga, Tenn.

CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) — Coastal Carolina University and Santee Cooper have partnered together to install 13 new electric vehicle charging stations on campus.
The partnership comes through a $25,000 grant program.
Over the next five years, South Carolina will receive close to $70 million through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program, which aims to expand the electric vehicle charging in the state.
According to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, there are more than 13,000 electric cars registered in the state, compared to 4.5 million other vehicles.
There are about 230 public charging stations between Myrtle Beach, Conway and North Myrtle Beach, with 33 of those being added in just the last three months, according to Plug Share.
Some officials say Myrtle Beach is set up in a unique way that allows for more privately-owned versus federally-owned charging stations.
“Coastal Carolina is really working hard to be as sustainable as we can currently and long into the future,” said Steve Harrison, a CCU official. “We’re excited that our students and our faculty and staff are pushing us forward all the time.”
South Carolina has federal funding for electric car charging stations, but it’s only for alternative fuel corridors.
“And in South Carolina, that just means it’s our interstate highways,” Evan Renshaw said. “Obviously, there’s not one of those in the Myrtle Beach region except for I-95, which is obviously a bit away.”
One of the main concerns the conservation voters of South Carolina have for the area is evacuation routes, as Highway 501 is not considered an alternative fuel corridor.
“So, if there’s not charging stations along that route, people that are in EVs that need to evacuate in case of a hurricane or storm might struggle to do so,” Renshaw said. “So, I think that the private investment really helps fill those gaps. Especially in the Myrtle Beach area, where there’s not necessarily the state or federal funding, that’s an even bigger opportunity for businesses and for companies to put in their own chargers.”
The conservation voters hope to get an alternative fuels tax credit bill passed in the senate. The bill would expand the existing 25% tax credit for propane and natural gas fueling infrastructure to electric vehicle infrastructure.
It would also allow those who want to install a public EV charger to get the tax credit as well.
