Lice Clinic vs Professional Lice Removal at Home
Head lice clinics are kind of like magical places where you and your family’s head lice removal problem can be whisked away, but did you know that the lice services can come to your home?
Finding time in the day for everyone’s heads to get checked can be a daunting task. You may have to sacrifice time otherwise spent at school, work, or practicing after school activities to book at all.
If you’ve ever paid for professional head lice treatment, you know that it’s a time-consuming process. It requires bringing the whole family along to ensure nobody has lice, and it’s worth it to get everyone’s heads checked by a pro. Unfortunately, that means that you won’t know how long the appointment will take until you find out how many people have it.
Hiring a professional to come to your home is the best way to avoid the hassle of fighting traffic and struggling to keep children happy, fed, and entertained for hours in a public office is in-home head lice removal simplifies a whole slew of complications that arise with having your kids’ hair treated.
Most in-home professionals avoid harsh chemical shampoos and will rely on their expertise in combing and hand-picking to physically remove the infestation and ensure that treatment is completely successful. While this is the most effective treatment option, it will require your kids to sit patiently until their heads are fully cleared. What better way to do that than to put on your kids’ favorite movie, grab a bowl of their go-to snack, and get cracking!
Keeping everyone comfortable during the combing will make it go by much faster, and this can be especially challenging with toddlers and infants. However, if you’re all hunkered down together at home, then it’s no trouble at all to pause treatment and take care of family necessities like reinforcing good potty training habits or breastfeeding.
Besides the apparent complications with bringing very young children to a lice clinic, some older children may find hair brushing to be especially stressful. Any child with possible sensory disorders would be better suited to treatment in their own home.
If you’re at all concerned that the lice removal facility environment will add to you or your kids having a stressful experience during treatment, then in-home treatment may be just what the doctor ordered!
