Know for sure, in minutes
An itchy head, a note from school, a classmate with lice. Sometimes you just need to know. A professional head check gives you a clear answer quickly and privately, so you can stop worrying or start treatment right away.
Head lice are tiny: adult females measure about 2.4–3.3 mm, males 2.1–2.6 mm, and a nit is only about 0.08 mm. They're easy to miss at home, especially in thick or long hair. A trained eye makes all the difference.
Why check the whole family?
Itching comes from an allergic reaction to lice saliva, and on a first infestation it can take 4–6 weeks to appear. That means a brother, sister or parent can have lice without a single itch. Checking everyone at once is the most reliable way to stop lice bouncing back and forth in your home, and it's required for the treatment's 30-day guarantee.
