Lice Treatment Options at Lice Clinics of America

Does AirAllé® kill both live lice and eggs/nits?The Signature AirAllé Treatment is Lice Clinics of America’s comprehensive professional lice treatment using its proprietary FDA-cleared medical device to deliver precisely controlled heated air that dehydrates head lice and their eggs (nits). It has been proven to be 99.2% effective in clinical trials, and well over 1 million successful treatments have been performed.

Following the heated-air treatment is a comb-out to remove debris, and then an application of the LCA Active Rinse^® solution as an added layer of protection.

The entire process takes about an hour and is designed to provide a fast, effective, and convenient treatment experience, backed by a 30-day guarantee. It also provides the peace of mind that comes with a one-and-done treatment, without the use of pesticides.

Professional lice treatment may appear to cost more upfront than over-the-counter (OTC) products, prescription medications, or home remedies, but it is often less expensive overall when families factor in the hidden costs of treating lice themselves.

Home treatment with OTC lice products often takes 7–10 days or longer because most OTC products require a second or third treatment to kill newly hatched lice after eggs (nits) hatch. During that time, families must also comb out lice and nits, repeat treatments as directed, and continue with laundry and household cleaning. The added time, effort, and missed work or school can significantly increase the overall cost.

For families considering prescription medications, it’s important to know that, depending on your insurance coverage, some prescription treatments can cost as much as, or even more than, a professional lice treatment. They may also require repeat treatments and still involve extensive nit removal. All prescription treatments have demonstrated significantly lower efficacy in clinical trials than LCA’s signature AirAllé treatment.

Most home remedies have little or no scientific evidence demonstrating they are effective at eliminating both lice and their eggs. Some home remedies can even be dangerous and should never be used.

When comparing treatment options, consider the total cost, including time, additional supplies, repeat treatments, and the likelihood of successfully eliminating the infestation—not just the initial purchase price.

The most effective way to reduce the overall cost of lice treatment is to eliminate the infestation as quickly as possible. Delayed treatment or repeated unsuccessful attempts often lead to additional product purchases, more missed work or school, endless hours of laundry and cleaning at home, and the risk of lice spreading to other family members.

Having a professional check everyone in the household at the same time and treating the problem promptly can help minimize both the financial cost and the stress.

Choosing a treatment with a high likelihood of success the first time can also reduce the need for repeat treatments and the additional expenses that often accompany them.
