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 West Ashely, 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.

When it comes to cosmetic dermatology and medical aesthetics, we take pride in our experience and passion. We provide more than quick, effective services - we give our patients a relaxing, comforting experience catered to their needs.

My wife and I are raising our two boys in West Ashley. They play baseball and soccer at West Ashley and Ackerman Parks, First Tee at Shawdowmoss Golf & Country Club, and basketball at the Bees Landing Recreation Center. We ride our bikes and go for walks in our neighborhood of Carolina Bay. It’s where we shop, go out to eat and meet with friends. West Ashley is also where the current mayor has failed to lead time and time again over nearly eight years.
The reality is that planned and consistent improvements, shared-use paths, beautification, and integration of service and amenities in West Ashley has been slow, nonexistent in some areas and outright ignored in others. Put simply, the city has not consistently invested in improving the quality of life and capturing the vibrant spirit of the largest part of our beloved city.
This long overdue work is not right, fair nor equitable.
The Sumar Street redevelopment is a prime example. For that development, only one developer responded to the city’s request for a proposal. Going with one developer is not a good practice when dealing with public dollars for such a project.
That developer is seeking $100 for a 99-year lease and millions of dollars for the development’s parking needs, but putting $23 million toward an underground garage does not make that area prime for private sector investment.
Rather than complement the next door Ashley Landing redevelopment, the city chose to compete with it. The limited vision, planning and implementations continue because the mayor created a tie rather than vote in the majority in order to take meaningful action at the July City Council meeting.
The incumbent has moved too slowly to implement any of the recommendations from the Plan West Ashley document that the city spent $500,000 to produce. The West Ashley Project Coordinator has no budget, staff and authority to provide the needed services, engagement, and progress the largest part of our city has lacked.
A plan without the right level of personnel and budget to implement its findings creates illusions, false hope and frustrations. We can change this. The largest part of the city can’t be without the staff and resources to service residents and businesses.
Imagine what we can do for West Ashley and other parts of our city that have been left behind if we apply for more of the millions of available federal funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. We have an opportunity to secure such funds, and I will make it a top priority to pursue this funding and bring such resources to our city.
My experience and current work at the local, state, and federal levels of government uniquely puts us in the best position to accomplish this.
We can stop imagining better gateways to West Ashley, better drainage, better roads and streets, sidewalks, safe bike lanes, connectivity, façade improvements, gathering spots and so much more — and start living it. We need a workhorse to get this done.
If you are happy with the level of leadership and service you have received over the past eight years, I’m not your person. However, if you want more and expect more from your mayor and city, I have something tangible to offer.

North Charleston restaurant Jackrabbit Filly is like if someone said, “Make Chinese-American comfort food, but make it chef-y.” Owners Shuai and Corrie Wang opened the restaurant after years of running acclaimed food truck Short Grain. The menu has touches of Chinese and Japanese. There’s Sichuan dry pot, Mama Wang’s fried rice with lap cheong, and a highly-sought-after chirashi bowl. The restaurant recently added a dim sum brunch.
Looking for a dim sum dinner or lunch in the Lowcountry? Hit up Dragon Palace on Daniel Island for pork buns, shu mai, dumplings, and sesame balls. The interiors are retro fancy with ornate wood carvings and plenty of red. Dragon Palace also offers classics like chow mein, cashew chicken, and egg drop soup.
King BBQ offers Chinese barbecue with a Carolinas influence. The menu centers on smoked meats — five-spice duck, char siu ribs, ginger scallion kielbasa, and rotisserie chicken — and all the ways to serve those proteins — on a sandwich, rice, or noodles. Don’t miss the crispy shrimp toast sliders.
Downtown restaurant Beautiful South serves American-style takeout Chinese classics like General Tso’s chicken and Mongolian beef, but there’s also Cantonese roasted meats and Hainanese chicken. Try one of the inventive cocktails, such as the Love Your Enemies, which is a tequila and mezcal milk punch with a hint of oolong tea.
Downtown restaurant Xiao Bao Biscuit (XBB) has been around since 2012. The kitchen draws from different regions across Asia and delivers on some solid Chinese choices. The mapo tofu is some of the best in town, and the dumplings always satisfy. XBB is usually packed with lively customers looking for Asian comfort foods. Starting during the pandemic, the restaurant began offering takeout.
If you haven’t heard of Old Li’s Restaurant on Savannah Highway in West Ashley, it might be because fans of the Chinese establishment would rather keep it a well-guarded secret. The can’t -miss menu item is the crispy Peking duck, but the oyster pancakes, dumplings, and squirrel fish are worth ordering as well. Old Li’s is BYOB, so plan accordingly.
James Island Sichuan restaurant Kwei Fei has enough peppercorns and punk-rock sensibility to keep any dinner interesting. Owners David Schuttenberg and Tina Heath-Schuttenberg moved from New York to Charleston for another restaurant project, but when that didn’t pan out, the culinary community lucked out when they decided to bring Sichuan flavors to town.
The restaurant usually full of locals enjoying lamb dumplings, spicy noodles, and tingly beef to the soundtrack of loud rock and funk music.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) — Charleston city leaders are moving forward with plans to redevelop a shopping center on Sam Rittenburg Boulevard in West Ashley.
The City of Charleston’s Design Review Board gave conceptual approval on Monday to a new Publix grocery store and retail space that will be built in the Ashley Landing Mall shopping center where a Publix currently sits.
The existing Publix is located closer to Sumar Street and was built in the 90s. The new plans are to move the grocery store to the opposite side of the property closer to Charlestowne Drive and add new retail and restaurant space next door.
There is currently a 130,000-square-foot building in that spot, which includes businesses like Dollar Tree and Big Lots inside. The Design Review Board also moved forward with the approval of a partial demolition of the shopping center, which includes these businesses. Robert Summerfield, the city’s Director of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability, said the leases for the businesses were not renewed in preparation for the redevelopment of the area.
Summerfield added that the plans to revamp the shopping center are in line with the city’s goals to revitalize parts of West Ashley.
“This is right in line with the ideas for the plan, it keeps a major shopping experience with the grocery store right there — keeps it anchored in the community and in that shopping center for those neighborhoods in that area,” he explained.
However, Suzanne Germroth, who lives in Charleston, said she is concerned about the neighborhood losing the businesses currently there because of the project.
“A lot of people rely on these discount stores to maintain their livelihood and what they can afford,” she said. “And I don’t understand why this perfectly wonderful building here has to move across the street.”
Summerfield said the current Publix will stay open until the new one is complete, and the plans for what will happen with the existing Publix building have not been decided.
“Publix has actually done this in a number of places in the markets that they work in. You know they’ll close the store one night in its current space and they’ll open the next morning in the new space,” he said. “In the old space, that again will be I believe in phase two of their development plan.”
This was the first time the conceptual plans for the project went in front of the Design Review Board. The next step for the project will be a preliminary review.

The Junction Kitchen & Provisions quickly is the go-to for Park Circle inhabitants to find a full breakfast near the neighborhood. The morning menu is served all day, including the doughnut sandwich layered with coffee-rubbed bacon, over easy egg, and served with a coffee dip.
Mercantile is one of the most spacious breakfast options to open on the peninsula, so bring the laptop and get some work done too — plenty of seats. The stylish spot opens early for those looking for coffee, yogurt bowls, breakfast sandwiches, or house-smoked salmon on a bagel. Bonus: free wifi and a large parking lot.
Bright spot the Daily carries creative coffee drinks, like the black sesame latte, and some of the quickest breakfast items around. Stop by this hip cafe for an avocado toast or breakfast pita before heading to the office.
Vicious Biscuit serves other items than biscuits, but the fluffy carbs are the big draw here. Prepare to feel the need for a nap after indulging in a fried chicken biscuit the size of your head. There’s dozens of biscuit combos to try.
James Beard Award-winning chef John Currence brought Big Bad Breakfast to Charleston a few years ago, and it has been serving solid examples of Southern and diner cuisine at a brisk pace. This restaurant might just have the best flapjacks in town.
Daps Breakfast & Imbibe offer breakfast/brunch every day of the week and all day long. The vibe is chill and the food is filling. The Fruity Pebble pancakes and breakfast burrito with chorizo gravy are solid choices.
Tuck into cozy cafe Little Line for a big Southern breakfast with cheddar grits at the counter or order a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel to go. The chic Westside spot has proven consistent in its delivery of breakfast staples since it first opened. And if you’re running short on time, you can order ahead online.
West Ashley eatery Early Bird Diner is the greasy spoon of contemporary Southern dreams. The waitstaff leans quirky and tattooed, the food is filling and comforting, and the hours allow you to visit for brunch or late night. Try the chicken and waffles with honey mustard drizzle at least once, and then move on to the traditional sides and other comforting menu items.
Marina Variety Store is Charleston's diner by the sea. With views of the Ashley River, there's no better place to tuck into a bottomless cup of coffee and a bowl of shrimp and grits when the weather is clear.
Thoughtful pastries are the big draw at Harken Cafe, like the Apple Tahini muffins or brown sugar cake with pumpkin butter. But, if you have a free morning, grab a seat in the Parisian-inspired cafe and order a slice of quiche full of local produce or a fluffy egg sandwich on a ricotta biscuit.
Queen Street Grocery is nestled in the French Quarter, so customers can watch the carriage tours go by as they cut into a crepe or omelette. For those on the go, choose a hot-pressed breakfast sandwich on a croissant or bagel.
As the name states, Millers All Day does indeed serve breakfast all day. Look for big fluffy biscuits, pancakes, grits, and plenty of bacon in a hip, yet comfortable, dining room.
Fast & French serves a no-frills breakfast of croissants, toasts, ham plates, and cream cheese on rye with raisins. There might not be any eggs, but it's hard to resist the European charm of the cafe and the full carafes of French press coffee.
Super cute spot Baguette Magic offers carbs on carbs on carbs. Patrons rave about the recovery baguette — a hangover-curing combination of scrambled eggs, bacon, prosciutto, white cheddar, tomato jam, and arugula. For those in search of something sweet, check out the homemade Pop-Tarts or the chocolate croissant.
Lost Dog Cafe on Folly Beach is a chill place with an extensive breakfast list. From bagels to Benedicts to breakfast burritos, Lost Dog can accommodate a wide range of tastes.
