Soccer Coach Helps Northwest Arkansas Families Cure Head Lice with New Lice Clinic

Lice Clinics of America – Northwest Arkansas provides guaranteed, one-and-done lice treatments using FDA-cleared medical device that succeeds where traditional products fail.


Lowell, Arkansas, Nov. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Springdale native Wade Huntsman is a former soccer coach and previously served as president of Oklahoma’s largest soccer club, Metro Tulsa Soccer Club’s United. These days, he spends his time helping Northwest Arkansas children and parents win the battle against head lice with a new Lice Clinics of America® treatment center in Lowell.

 

“I coached soccer for 15 years and love being around kids,” Wade said. “I’ve experienced head lice first hand with my daughters, and I’m excited to bring this solution back home to Northwest Arkansas.  Up until recently, these state of the art treatments were only available in larger markets such as Dallas and Kansas City.”

 

Lice Clinics of America – Northwest Arkansas (www.liceclinicsnwa.com) provides head checks, diagnosis, and treatments for people infested with head lice. The clinic is staffed by certified operators of the AirAllé® device, an FDA-cleared medical device clinically proven to kill 99 percent of head lice using warm air to dehydrate lice and eggs.

 

“Nothing makes you a believer in Lice Clinics of America quite like seeing it work so well on your own kids,” Wade said, and he thrives on coaching families through the game of lice. “Now I love being there when the families come in panicked, frazzled, and embarrassed so that I can start turning that attitude around.”

 

The battle against head lice has gotten far more difficult in recent years as head lice have become resistant to the chemical pesticides in most popular lice products. A recent study found that so-called “Super Lice” comprise 98 percent of head lice in most states.

 

The AirAllé device doesn’t use pesticides or toxic chemicals. Instead, it applies precision-controlled heated air to the hair and scalp to dehydrate lice and eggs (nits) on the spot.

 

“Super lice is the norm now in our part of the country, and last generation’s over-the-counter products just don't work anymore,” Wade said. “We are focusing on getting the word out to parents and have partnered with the major local school districts to train nurses about how dehydration is the only effective way to cure head lice.”

 

Most treatments using the AirAllé take about 90 minutes, and the treatment is guaranteed to be effective. The AirAllé has successfully treated more than 400,000 cases of head lice worldwide.

 

The Northwest Arkansas clinic is located in Lowell, at 207 East Monroe Ave, Suite D, and is open seven days a week, 8:30am to 8:30pm by appointment only.

 

With more than 400 clinics in 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 SciencesTM, Inc., which is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
