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 the San Fernando Valley no longer have to worry about treating the icky bugs themselves.
Lice Clinics of America – San Fernando Valley (http://www.liceclinicssanfernandovalley.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.
Clinic owner Matt Riley learned about the challenges and opportunities of head lice treatment from family and friends. “We had so many neighbors and friends tell us horror stories about head lice. When we heard there was a real cure, I knew I wanted to be involved,” he said.
“Our first treatment was for 12 year old girl who had been dealing with lice for months,” Matt said. “Her pediatrician thought she was itching from an allergy, so they kept giving her allergy medication. We had her lice-free in an hour.”
Lice Clinics of America – San Fernando Valley is located at 5353 Balboa Blvd., Suite 100, in Encino. The clinic is open seven days per week by appointment. The AirAllé treatment takes about an hour, and comes with a 30-day guarantee when all family members are treated or screened for head lice.
The San Fernando Valley clinic is one of more than 150 U.S. clinics in the Lice Clinics of America network.
With clinics in more than 20 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.
