Is professional lice treatment worth the cost compared to home kits?

Yes, primarily because professional treatment works the first time. DIY kits often fail due to 'super lice' resistance, leading parents to buy multiple rounds of chemicals and miss several days of school or work. Our Mt. Pleasant clinic provides a one-and-done solution using non-toxic methods, saving you time, money on ineffective products, and weeks of unnecessary stress.

How long does a professional lice removal appointment take?

A typical treatment at Lice Beware takes between 60 to 90 minutes per person, depending on the length of hair and the severity of the infestation. We are thorough but efficient, ensuring every nit is removed while your child relaxes with a book or a screen. This is significantly faster than the days or weeks spent struggling with home combing.

Do I need to deep-clean my entire house after finding lice?

Not at all! Lice are human parasites that can only survive for about 24-48 hours off a host. We advise focusing on the 'Hot Zone': putting bed sheets and the pajamas worn in the last 48 hours in a hot dryer for 30 minutes. Don't waste your energy scrubbing carpets or bagging up every toy in your house; your time is better spent on head checks and prevention.
