TRIED SOLVING AT HOME?

Wondering why you still have lice if you’ve tried treating head lice on your own? It’s all about the eggs! Despite over-the-counter products claiming that they can kill lice and eggs, there’s nothing on the market that can penetrate the lice eggshell.

Unless all lice AND EGGS are eradicated, the lice infestation will continue. Lice will keep laying eggs and those eggs will hatch to lay more eggs. If even one egg is missed, the cycle doesn’t end.

Screening (the first step)

Our clinicians will carefully inspect the hair and scalp. If an active case of head lice is confirmed and a treatment plan is chosen using the AirAllé medical device, the screening fee is waived. Because lice spread quickly through a household, it is very important that all family members are checked once an active case has been confirmed.

Express AirAllé® Lice Treatment

This option includes a 30-minute AirAllé® treatment and a 10-minute comb-out to remove some of the dead lice and dehydrated eggs. This is a budget minded option for those who want the professional heated air treatment but are committed to completing additional combing and oil applications at home. We do not offer our re-treatment policy for this service.

Comb-Out Lice Treatment

We do not recommend the AirAllé® treatment for children under four or for clients for whom the AirAllé is contraindicated. In these cases, we recommend a strand by strand traditional comb-out to remove lice and eggs using only non-toxic products. This option requires the following: Purchase of an at-home comb-out kit, 30 minutes of combing every day for 10 days, an oil application on day 5 and day 10, and an in clinic re-check on day 11. We do not offer our re-treatment policy for this service.

Do-It-Yourself Lice Removal Kit

Our most affordable treatment option! We provide all the topical treatment products you will need, a professional lice comb, and detailed instructions on how to properly perform the comb-out. Since most parents are not experienced at lice-removal, to ensure all the lice are removed will take substantially more time than a professional treatment. The parent will need to perform several follow-up procedures during the next 11 days.

FAQ

Why does lice keep coming back after home treatment?

Many store-bought treatments focus on live lice but are less effective against eggs, which are firmly attached to the hair shaft. When eggs survive, they hatch within a week or two and the cycle starts again. Professional removal addresses both lice and eggs more thoroughly.

When should we consider professional lice removal?

Some families come in after repeated home treatment attempts that haven’t brought the situation fully under control. Others prefer to seek professional support at the outset to avoid a drawn-out process. Professional removal is a useful option at any point in a lice situation, not only as a last resort.

Can lice spread to others in the house?

Yes. Daily contact like shared sleeping spaces, family movie nights, or siblings playing together create frequent opportunities for the head-to-head contact through which lice spread. Portland-area families dealing with lice in one household member are generally advised to check everyone in the home at the same time to avoid ongoing back-and-forth spread.

How long does a treatment appointment take?

Most appointments last 60 to 90 minutes. Hair length and thickness can affect timing, but technicians focus on thorough removal rather than rushing.

Is lice caused by poor hygiene?

No. Lice are not caused by poor hygiene, and having lice does not reflect personal cleanliness. Lice live on the scalp and feed on blood, not dirt or oil. They attach just as easily to clean hair as they do to unwashed hair. Regular bathing, shampooing, or household cleaning does not prevent lice, because lice spread through close head-to-head contact rather than hygiene habits.

Lice Treatment

Did you know that traditional drug store products no longer work because Super Lice and their eggs (nits) are resistant to pesticide lice treatments? Thankfully with the AirAllé® lice treatment, effectively getting rid of lice has become fast & safe and is now available in Portland, ME! Our device is highly effective because the small size and shape of head lice and their eggs make it difficult for them to conserve water. The AirAllé lice treatment device kills them through dehydration. This process takes about 30 minutes. We have performed over 1 million head lice treatments with less than a 1% re-treatment rate.*

CombOut

Portland
Lice Removal

Once effectively treated, our clinician will begin the lice removal service. In this step, we remove the leftover debris from the treatment. Our professional lice removal staff can do this in only 30-60 minutes, depending on infestation levels and the length of hair. This means you don’t have to spend hours comb out lice (nitpicking) at home or come back for follow-ups. Want to learn more about our lice removal and treatment services offered at Lice Clinics of America – Portland, then check out our lice treatment options, or call to speak with our knowledgeable staff.
