The Gift of Head Lice Prevention

Give the Gift of Head Lice Prevention

T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a louse.

Lice Clinics of Canada – Oakville and Kitchener locations have some great ideas for stocking stuffers for parents to make sure no louse is stirring at your home during the holidays and beyond.

“You would be surprised how many people give these products as stocking stuffers to their friends and family,” said Ben Silva, owner of Lice Clinics of Canada – Oakville and Kitchener. “Once someone has gone through a struggle with head lice, they appreciate the value of preventive.”

The clinics offer physical preventive products that include shampoos, sprays and hair ties that work as a lice repellent. However, they also offer their lice protection plan that keeps you lice-free all year long! The holidays are a peak time for head lice as kids are out of school and spending time with family and friends. The gift of lice prevention products can help ensure children return to school lice-free.

“These products can be used daily or weekly,” Ben said. “They work by emitting an odor that is pleasant to humans but repulsive to lice.”

The products are all non-toxic—an important distinction as many traditional lice products use pesticides as their active ingredients. Pyrethroids, the class of pesticides used by traditional head lice products, have been linked to developmental and behavioral problems in children.

“All our products are pesticide-free—we wouldn’t have it any other way,” Ben said.

But if you do get head lice, a cure is just one treatment away. Lice Clinics of Canada – Oakvilel and Kitchener locations are Ontario’s exclusive provider of treatment using the revolutionary AirAllé® device. AirAllé is clinically proven to kill live lice and more than 99 percent of eggs. Most treatments take about 90-minutes and are guaranteed to be effective.

“If you do find head lice in your family, we guarantee you’ll leave our clinic lice–free” Ben said. The AirAllé device has treated more than 700,000 cases of head lice throughout the world with a success rate better than 99 percent. It is the fastest, safest, and most effective lice treatment on the market.
