WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Head lice infamously cause stress, disgust and embarrassment for millions of moms whose kids get infested each year. But thanks to the opening of Lice Clinics of America – West Palm Beach, moms in the West Palm Beach area no longer have to worry about treating the icky bugs themselves.
Lice Clinics of America – West Palm Beach, which opened June 15, provides screening, diagnosis and treatment options for people infested with head lice. The clinic is staffed by certified operators of the AirAllé device, an FDA-cleared medical device that kills head lice and lice eggs using just heated air.
The clinic is owned by Lara Paradiso, who discovered Lice Clinics of America after trying—unsuccessfully—to treat a lice infestation at home using over-the-counter shampoos and nitpicking. Paradiso and her daughter ultimately drove hours to get an AirAllé treatment at a Lice Clinics of America clinic.
"To me, this is all about giving people peace of mind and allowing them to just get on with their lives," said Paradiso, who spent 15 years in the pharmaceutical and medical-device industry and never imagined herself having a career in the lice-removal business. "Parents will tell you that dealing with lice seems like a never-ending process. The beauty of getting an AirAllé service at our clinic is that there's no follow-up work after the treatment. Once you're done, you're done."
Lice Clinics of America – West Palm Beach is located at 1500 North Florida Mango Rd. Ste. 3 in West Palm Beach. The clinic is open by appointment only. AirAllé treatments there take about an hour, and come with a 30-day guarantee.
The West Palm Beach clinic is one of 75 U.S. clinics in the Lice Clinics of America network.
With 75 U.S. clinics and 85 international clinics, Lice Clinics of America is the largest network of professional head-lice-treatment centers in the world. Lice Clinics of America and AirAllé are brands owned by Larada Sciences, Inc.
