Philadelphia, PA, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Head lice infamously cause stress, disgust and embarrassment for millions of parents whose kids get infested each year. Parents in the Delaware and Chester County areas, near Philadelphia no longer have to worry about treating the bugs themselves thanks to the opening of a new clinic, Lice Clinics of America.
Lice Clinics of America – Philadelphia (http://www.liceclinicphilly.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.
The new Philadelphia clinic is owned by Sharon Rizzuto, who also owns a clinic in Conshohocken.
Sharon started her first clinic after watching a friend struggle with head lice for months. Then she learned about Lice Clinics of America. “After talking to my husband, who is a elementary school principal and many other moms, who shared their lice stories I decided this was the business for me.”
“My very first customer at my clinic in Conshohocken drove 3.5 hours to receive the AirAllé treatment,” Sharon said. She had tried everything under the sun with little success. I've never seen a family more grateful.”
“This summer has been extremely busy,” Sharon said. “Between kids going to camp and being in a less structured environment lice cases actually go up during summer months.”
Lice Clinics of America – Philadelphia is located at 2001 Foulk Road in Garnet Valley. 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 new 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.
