HOUSTON, March 16, 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 Houston 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.
Partners Jessica Evans and Michelle Sunshine own the Houston clinic. Jessica started it and the two met when Michelle turned to the clinic to treat her own daughter for head lice. Michelle was so impressed with the experience that she approached Jessica about working together as partners. They now have two Lice Clinics of America locations—in Houston and Austin.
"We are two moms using new technology to solve an ancient problem," Michelle said. "In Houston, we've noticed many people are concerned about Super Lice. They have tried the over-the-counter products and are frustrated that they haven't worked. The huge advantage of the AirAllé device is that our treatments work in one visit, use no pesticides and require no combing at home."
Lice Clinics of America – Houston is located at 14745 Memorial Drive near Dairy Ashford. The clinic is open seven days a week by appointment only at 832-862-8008. AirAllé treatments there take about an hour, and come with a 30-day guarantee.
The Houston 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.
