Middleborough, MA, Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The country’s largest lice-removal network has opened a new location in Southeastern Massachusetts. Families dealing with head lice in the area can now receive professional treatments at Lice Clinics of America, operated by Lice Aunties.
The clinic provides screening, diagnosis and treatment for people dealing with head lice using an advanced medical technology called AirAllé®, an FDA-cleared, Class I medical device clinically proven to kill live lice and more than 99 percent of eggs, including lice that are resistant to traditional lice products.
“Many parents find that treating lice at home is a challenge,” says Dr. Krista Lauer, medical director of Lice Clinics of America. “The easiest way to diagnose and treat an infestation is by having a professional do it for them.”
To celebrate its opening, the clinic is partnering with the Friends of Jack Foundation. During the month of November, technicians will provide free head screenings for all customers who donate $5 for a Hero Bear from the foundation.
“Hero Bears provide comfort to children who may be dealing with a difficult situation – whether it be a sickness, medical procedure or a domestic issue,” said Naomi Golden, who independently owns and operates the clinic as a Lice Clinics of America franchisee. “Our clinics provide comfort to kids dealing with head lice, so we thought this would be the perfect foundation to partner with.”
Golden, who also owns and operates two additional Lice Clinics of America locations operated by Lice Aunties in Woburn and Newton, says the best part of her job is helping families.
“We are all about taking care of parents and children, so I am pleased to see our latest clinic opening in Middleborough where we can serve the community there,” said Claire Roberts, CEO of Lice Clinics of America. “With nearly 900,000 treatments done worldwide and less than a 1 percent retreatment rate, we offer the treatment option that ensures they will leave lice-free with no follow-up required.”
The new clinic is located at 111 Center Street in Middleborough, Massachusetts and is open seven days a week by appointment only. To learn more, please visit: https://www.liceclinicsofamerica.com/landing/middleborough/
