Lice Clinics Treatments and Employee Reviews
Professional head lice removal clinics are popping up everywhere, offering families a 100% guarantee that DIY treatments often miss. These clinics utilize evidence-based methods to eliminate infestations at the source. From the initial diagnosis to the final follow-up, here is how a professional lice treatment typically works.
Professional Lice Clinic Treatment Methods
1. Professional Screening
The process begins with a thorough lice check. Clinicians screen the affected individual and all family members to find evidence of live lice or nits (eggs). This step is vital for ensuring the problem is eradicated from the entire household, preventing re-infestation.
2. Diagnosis
Once screening is complete, a trained clinician provides a formal diagnosis of the infestation level. This helps parents understand the scope of the problem and allows the clinician to recommend the most effective treatment options available.
3. Treatment Options
Based on the diagnosis and the family’s needs, a clinician will determine the best course of action. Most lice clinics utilize one of the following two professional methods:
- Wet Combing: This is a meticulous process involving specialized conditioners and high-quality, fine-toothed nit combs. Clinicians comb from the scalp to the ends of the hair to physically remove every louse and egg.
- Dehydration (AirAllé): This FDA-cleared method uses a specialized machine to apply controlled heated air to the scalp, followed by professional combing. This effectively dehydrates and kills both lice and their eggs without the use of chemicals.
The Reality of Working in the Lice Industry
Because we believe in transparency, it’s interesting to look at the industry from the perspective of the clinicians themselves. Here is what employees across the industry generally report about the profession:
| What Staff Love | The Challenges |
|---|---|
| Helping families in stressful times. | On-call scheduling makes planning difficult. |
| Flexible hours and kid-friendly environments. | Physical demands (standing for long periods). |
| Working with knowledgeable, licensed teams. | Pay gaps between treatment costs and hourly wages. |
