Innovative BBL Skin Treatment System Now Available from Dr. Roya Javid at Coastal Valley Dermatology in Carmel

BBL, or broadband light, is an innovative, non-invasive skin treatment system that utilizes one-of-a-kind flash lamp technology that allows targeted treatment for many skin conditions.

Carmel CA, January 26, 2016 - BBL, or broadband light, is an innovative, non-invasive skin treatment system that utilizes one-of-a-kind flash lamp technology that allows targeted treatment for many skin conditions.

Treatments utilizing Forever Young BBL™ from Sciton are now available at Coastal Valley Dermatology Associates, Inc. in Carmel under the supervision of Dr. Roya Javid, one of the area's leading dermatologists.


Dr. Javid is involved with the treatment plan of every patient and she personally oversees all treatments. She performs all injection treatments as well as some of the light and laser treatments.

Forever Young BBL sends light energy deep into the skin to boost the body’s natural ability to fight aging. The result? Skin that’s visibly younger looking, year after year.

Forever Young BBL allows treatment of acne, pigmented lesions, such as freckles, age spots, vascular lesions such as cherry angiomas, telangiectasias and rosacea, cutaneous vascular lesions, hair reduction, deeper lesions, darker skin types and hair removal.

With its user-friendly features and superior results, Forever Young BBL is the most complete and versatile broadband light system in its class.

Far superior to regular photo facial treatments, Sciton BBL’s dual-lamp technology delivers results in less treatments and time — saving you money with better results.

BBL offers a full range of pulsed-light treatments, including rejuvenation applications that target the effects of photo-aging, such as brown spots, tiny broken vessels, and other benign lesions.

Scientific evidence demonstrates regular maintenance treatments using Forever Young BBL technology rejuvenates skin and delays skin aging. “Patients who maintain a regular regimen of BBL treatments annually can reduce and delay the long-term signs of skin aging in a way that looks very natural,” write Dr. Patrick Bitter and Dr. J. Pozner in their study on BBL therapy.

Lasers represent a significant advance in dermatology and dermatologic surgery. Their precision, range of applications, and relatively short recovery time have brought new levels of treatment results.

Short pulses of light remove skin tissue to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, blemishes, discoloration, blood vessels, and sun damage, as well as the skin’s overall tone and texture.

“Here at Coastal Valley Dermatology, it is important to utilize the most cutting-edge technology,” says Dr. Javid. “We use the Forever Young Broad Band Light laser technology to provide patients with beautifully noticeable results that allows for minimal pain and a short recovery time.”

About Jarman Wines:
Jarman’s terroir (a French word that speaks to a wine’s place of origin, its subtle nuances of traceable character, flavor, lineage and integrity) refers to a special place in Carmel Valley — and also to a special woman, family matriarch Jarman Fearing Lowder, who inspired a family to bottle the essence of a mother’s spirit. The Jarman label reflects quality, with only the best local grapes used during an artisanal, small-batch winemaking process. Jarman wine uses only 100% estate-grown, organic and certified-sustainable grapes. Aged in French oak barrels, Jarman’s vintages are held in limited supply, and are not available anywhere outside their tasting room.

The two varietals include:
The 2013 Jarman Pinot Noir takes on nuances of warm blueberry pie, cloves and cinnamon that mingle in the nose with oak notes from 10 months in the barrel. The mouth-feel is plump and juicy with overtones of cassis and blackberries.

The 2014 Jarman Chardonnay features floral notes reminiscent of walking by a parfumerie in France — subtle and pleasant with a hint of earthiness. When serving this wine lightly chilled, rich notes of underripe berries and raw honey will waltz across your palate.

To further honor their mother’s memory, the family has opened a special tasting room in Carmel Valley Village (open noon to 5 p.m., Monday - Sunday) next to Will’s Fargo Steakhouse + Bar, the restaurant they purchased in 2014. The tastings will feature full-fledged experiences, including tours and wine education, and each will include a food element that complements the wine. The new Jarman tasting room will provide visitors with three unique experiences: Cru Tasting, Premier Cru Experience and the Grand Cru Experience.

Soul Music Great Charles Wright Drops Black History Month Bombshell “Up from Where We’ve Come”

New Book details a Historical Autobiography about the Racism and Hardship the Wright Family Faced as Sharecroppers Near Clarksdale, Mississippi Circa The '40s and early '50s.

Los Angeles, CA, January 26, 2016 - Among the most profound new literary entries to be released this February in Black History Month is a bitter true to life tome from culturally conscious Rhythm & Blues legend Charles Wright, the singer/songwriter/guitarist best known for singing and composing '70s Soul smash “Express Yourself” still heard daily on radio, in movies and dozens of television commercials.


The multi-talented messenger has taken up his pen to complete the first in a planned series of autobiographies that details his painful early life stories as a southern Black man that miraculously brought himself from poverty to prosperity. The inaugural installment, “Up From Where We’ve Come,” is an up-close and intimate telling of the Wright family’s back-breaking struggles as sharecroppers near Clarksdale, Mississippi through the '40s and early '50s. Written in the raw dialects of how Blacks and Whites communicated during that era, it's a riveting insider’s glimpse into the realities of the times.

“Do we truly know the full extent of our history,” Charles challenges? “I’m willing to bet that most of us do not have the slightest idea. ‘Up From Where We’ve Come’ is the history of me as a child growing up in the cotton fields of Mississippi at a time few, except people such as myself, remember. It’s an intimate slice of America’s history.

Remember --- a pie is not complete until every slice is accounted for. ‘Up From Where We’ve Come’ is an important piece of history which every true American should seek to experience…especially those who are seeking the truth.”

Through his hindsight insights as an older/wiser man, Charles Wright imparts knowledge, culture and context in each of the tome’s 56 chapters. Along with the struggle there is the warmth of family and a love story that blossoms against all odds. ‘Up From Where We’ve Come’ emerges as a triumphant and highly unique literary statement from a man whose music has touched several generations.
“People who've read my book always say, ‘I simply could not put it down,’ proclaims Wright, “and for this, I am so very thankful”.

Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Producer Bunny Sigler Releases New Single to Radio “Lavada” out January 25, 2016

“Lavada” marks the 3rd single from Bunny’s critically acclaimed CD, “Bundino”

Los Angeles, CA, January 25, 2016 - Four-time Grammy winning producer-singer-songwriter Bunny Sigler releases his third single “Lavada” from his critically acclaimed 2015 album Bundino January 25, 2016 with a YouTube premiere of his lyric video for “Lavada” on January 26, 2016. The prolific songwriter who produced the “Philly Sound” engages his audience once again with this touching love song that brings to mind the influential R&B sound of the 90’s.

Sigler’s vocals soar on this soulful track written by Sigler and previous collaborator Phil Hurt. “Lavada,” as Bunny describes, is a “love song that expresses the feelings of a man who is reminded of his one true love everywhere he goes”. Sigler’s endearing lyrics and laid back approach flow with such ease in the middle on “Lavada’s” memorable chorus.

This captivating song recalls the deepest form of love – the infatuation one feels with the love of their life. Clocking in at almost five minutes, the song’s highlights include the slow build up at the four-minute mark and the layers of vocal harmonies.

Complete with soulful ballads, nostalgic and funky songs, and finally honing in on a contemporary sound, Bunny Sigler’s latest album Bundino delivers 14 brilliant R&B tracks. Released in May 2015, the album features Sigler’s signature croons and songwriting while paying homage to 50 year career in the music industry. Sigler also has a wide variety of videos available on his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBunnySigler/.

“…Sigler has no problem with shaking things up, and he demonstrates his comfort with envelope pushing through Bundino.” –Soul Tracks

Sweet Honey in the Rock set to Release New Album #Loveinevolution January 22nd

#Loveinevolution Marks Band’s 24th Release; Contains Latest Video “Second Line Blues”

Hollywood, CA, January 21, 2016 - GRAMMY®-nominated, Sweet Honey in the Rock is gearing up for their upcoming album #LoveinEvolution (out January 22nd) via SHE-ROCKS 5, INC./Appleseed Recordings (distributed by E1 Entertainment). The A Capella ensemble recently released their second single and music video, “Second Line Blues,” available now on iTunes and Amazon.

The album’s stark second single “Second Line Blues” with its cryptic snare drum cadence, roll calls the names of innocent people that have fallen victim to murder at the hands of anyone from deranged civilians to police abusing their license to kill. Carol Maillard (who along with Louise Robinson is an original member of the group) states, “Since we started performing this piece, we’ve needed to keep adding names…and sadly, we’ll be adding more before things change.”

Since 1973, this remarkable all women, African- American group has been creating historical and stimulating topics expressed through song, dance and sign language. The ensemble has produced over 20 albums and has interchanged with many vocalists. However, embarking on a new chapter in their musical journey, Sweet Honey in the Rock now includes four core vocalists—Louise Robinson, Carol Maillard (both founding members) Nitanju Bolade Casel, and Aisha Kahlil—plus Shirley Childress (an American Sign Language Interpreter who has been performing live with the group since 1981). One of the early highlights of their 2016 performance season will be Sweet Honey in the Rock’s 34th appearance at Carnegie Hall which will include special guest appearances by highly-regarded violinist Regina Carter and trumpeter Terence Blanchard.

Their soon-to-be-released 24th studio album, #LoveinEvolution, highlights Sweet Honey In The Rock’s signature blend of jazz, blues, soul, gospel, and African chants, containing 14 touching songs produced by Nitanju Bolade Casel. The album features an eclectic mix of new original songs and covers of a few popular classics.
