NORTON, MASS., Feb. 3, 2016 (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 a new Lice Clinics of America clinic, moms in Norton, Massachusetts no longer have to worry about treating the icky bugs themselves.
Lice Clinics of America 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.
Norton resident Michelle Strynar, a pediatric nurse practitioner, owns the clinic. When her daughter contracted head lice at summer camp, Michelle followed standard protocol with over the counter chemical treatments and comb outs. When these failed, she found a Lice Clinics of America clinic in a distant town.
"After weeks of dealing with this on our own we walked into a friendly, relaxing environment where they put me at ease, solved the problem in one short treatment and my daughter didn't have to endure the effects of any irritating chemicals," Michelle said. "For this reason, we felt that there was a tremendous need for this service and decided to open up a clinic local to our area."
Lice Clinics of America – Norton is locatedat 314 East Main Street. The clinic is open seven days a week by appointment only. AirAllé treatments there take about an hour, and come with a 30-day guarantee.
The Norton clinic is one of 90 U.S. clinics in the Lice Clinics of America network.
With 90 U.S. clinics and 80 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.
