SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beware the Super Lice! That's the headline on news stories from many of the largest media organizations today.
Dr. Kyong Yoon, who has researched pesticide resistance in head lice since the 1990s released an update showing that head lice in 83 percent of the states he sampled—including California—now have gene mutations making them resistant to pesticides in the most popular lice shampoos.
Parents around the country are no doubt slapping their heads and saying, "So that's why I couldn't get rid of my kid's lice infestation!"
Lucky for them, there is Lice Clinics of America, a professional lice service that kills head lice with heated air using AirAllé, a patented, FDA-cleared medical device.
"Most people who come to us have tried the name-brand lice shampoos first," said Tien Du, owner of Nitzy-AirAlle lice clinics in Sunnyvale and Milpitas CA. "They can't understand why the shampoos don't work, but they sure are happy when they leave here an hour later, lice-free."
Nitzy-AirAlle, which treated more than 1000 clients since it opened over a year ago, is a Preferred Provider in the Lice Clinics of America network. That means all its technicians are certified AirAllé operators.
Nitzy-AirAlle has two locations. The first clinic is at: 16 Corning Ave. #140. Milpitas CA 95035. The second is at: 505 S. Pastoria Ave. #19. Sunnyvale CA 94086. The clinics are open seven days a week by appointment only. AirAllé treatments there take about 90 minutes, and come with a 21-day guarantee.
With 85 U.S. clinics and 105 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.
