WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 19, 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 Florida—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.
"Almost everyone we treat has tried an over-the-counter medicated shampoo first," said Lara Paradiso, owner of Lice Clinics of America - West Palm Beach, a West Palm Beach-based lice clinic. "They are so relieved when they leave here an hour and a half later, lice-free."
Lice Clinics of America - West Palm Beach opened just under two months ago. As a Preferred Provider in the Lice Clinics of America network, all its technicians are certified AirAllé operators.
Lice Clinics of America - West Palm Beach is located at 1500 North Florida Mango Road, Suite 3 in West Palm Beach. The clinic is open seven days a week by appointment only. AirAllé treatments there take a little over an hour, and come with a 30-day guarantee.
