Lake Charles, Louisiana, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Head lice infamously cause stress, disgust, and embarrassment for millions of parents whose kids get infested each year. But thanks to the opening of a new Lice Clinics of America clinic, parents in Lake Charles, Louisiana no longer have to worry about treating the icky bugs themselves.
Lice Clinics of America – Lake Charles (http://www.liceclinicswla.com) 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.
This is the second clinic for owner Shanna Montgomery, whose first clinic in nearby Lafayette has been so successful, she decided to expand to Lake Charles.
“Traditional lice treatments no longer work, and most alternatives require weeks of head checks and nitpicking, with unpredictable results,” Shanna said. “With the AirAllé device, families are completely lice-free in about an hour. People started coming from further and further away to access the treatment, so we decided to open another clinic to make the service more convenient.”
The battle against head lice has gotten more difficult in recent years as head lice have become immune to the chemical pesticides in the most popular lice products. The most recent study found that so-called “Super Lice” comprise 98 percent of head lice in most states. The pesticides used in lice products have also been linked to developmental and behavioral problems in children.
“We have a fast, safe, effective service that is chemical-free and guaranteed,” Shanna said. “It’s just as effective against super lice because it doesn’t rely on or contain any pesticides.”
The Lake Charles clinic is located at 203 E Miller Ave Ste G Iowa, LA 70647. The clinic is open seven days per week by appointment. The AirAllé device treatment comes with a 30-day guarantee when all family members are treated or screened for head lice.
The new clinic is one of more than 350 clinics in the Lice Clinics of America network worldwide. With clinics in more than 36 countries, Lice Clinics of America (www.LiceClinicsOfAmerica.com) is the largest network of professional head-lice-treatment centers in the world. Lice Clinics of America and AirAllé (www.airalle.com) are brands owned by Larada Sciences, Inc.
