Clinics in Buffalo & Rochester Kill Pesticide-Resistant Lice

Super Lice are no match for clinic's FDA-cleared medical device


BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 20, 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 New York—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.

"Nearly every person who comes through here has tried the name-brand lice shampoos first," said Marnie Murray, co-owner of Naughty Nits, a Western NY-based lice clinic. "They can't understand why the shampoos don't work, but they sure are happy when they leave here a short time later, lice-free."

Naughty Nits, which has treated thousands of clients over the past five years, is a Preferred Provider in the Lice Clinics of America network. That means all its technicians are certified AirAllé operators.

Naughty Nits is located at 2809 Wehrle Drive, Suite 10 in Williamsville, NY and 135 Sully's Trail, Suite 7 in Pittsford, NY. The clinic is open six days a week by appointment only. AirAllé treatments take about an 90 minutes, and come with a 30-day guarantee.

With 85 U.S. clinics and 105 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.
