The word "lice" makes many parents of school-age children feel like keeping their kids locked at home. In fact, an estimated six to twelve million infestations occur in the U.S. among kids age 3-11 each year according to the CDC.

Even if you get the dreaded diagnosis, there's no need to despair, according to Claire Roberts, CEO of the Lice Clinics of America. "Many people don't even know that they can go to a dedicated urgent care center to take care of lice. But the reason you should know and should care if you have school-aged children is that not only is regular head lice always a challenge to get rid of, but now there is super lice," says Roberts.

Licking Super Lice

Super lice--lice that are difficult to kill with some of the most popular over-the-counter shampoos--have been in the news lately. The reason that they're so hard to kill is that lice, not surprisingly, have become resistant to the very chemicals we have been using to kill them thirty or forty years ago.

"So we've got a better solution. We use an FDA-cleared medical device called AirAll. The device uses heated air instead of powerful chemicals. It's heated air to kill the lice and the eggs, and it does this by deyhydrating them very quickly," she says.

Heated Hair

Lice live down next to the scalp and the eggs are laid on the hair shaft right next to the scalp. It's possible to deliver this heated air in just the right temperature and air flow so you kill the lice and eggs but don't harm the child or the patient. The device has been in the market for nearly ten years.

Experience Prevails

"We've done over 200,000 treatments with less than a 1 % re-treatment rate. And we have a global network of urgent care centers. In the U.S. We have over 100 clinics, and we're growing that footprint of clinics to over 300 clinics next year. And even though this is a global network, we are in 22 countries, these are all locally owned and operated. And we have the most caring, dedicated group of professionals to take care of you if you go to one of our urgent care centers. They are all trained professionals.

Believe me, once you get treated you will leave our clinic joyous that you and your family have put this process behind you. It takes about an hour and we guarantee it."
