Portland Lice Treatment

Did you know that traditional drug store products no longer work because Super Lice and their eggs (nits) are resistant to pesticide lice treatments? Thankfully with the heat treatment device, effectively getting rid of lice has become fast & safe and is now available in Portland, OR! Our device is highly effective because the small size and shape of head lice and their eggs make it difficult for them to conserve water. The heat treatment device kills them through dehydration. This process takes about 30 minutes. We have performed over 1 Million head lice treatments with less than a 1% re-treatment rate.*

Portland Lice Removal

Once effectively treated, our clinician will begin the lice removal service. In this step, we remove the leftover debris from the treatment. Our professional lice removal staff can do this in only 30-60 minutes, depending on infestation levels and the length of hair. This means you don't have to spend hours combing out lice (nitpicking) at home or come back for follow-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the heat treatment take?

The heat treatment device session itself takes about 30 minutes, with the full clinic visit (including comb-out and nit removal) typically lasting 60-90 minutes depending on hair length and infestation level.

Is the treatment safe for children?

Yes. Our heat treatment is chemical-free and safe for children ages 4 and up, teens, and adults. It is trusted by schools, pediatricians, and camps across the Portland region.

Do I need a follow-up appointment?

No. Our single-visit treatment kills both live lice and their eggs, so no follow-up appointments or at-home nitpicking are required. Our re-treatment rate is less than 1%.

Do you offer same-day appointments?

Yes. We know lice are an urgent matter. Same-day appointments are available — call (971) 306-8218 to book.

How much does treatment cost?

Pricing depends on hair length and infestation level. Call (971) 306-8218 for an estimate. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and many insurance plans cover our service.

How can I tell if my child has lice?

Common signs include persistent itching, small red bumps on the scalp or neck, and visible nits (eggs) attached close to the hair shaft. If you're unsure, we offer professional lice screenings to confirm.

How do head lice spread?

Head lice spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact. They can also spread less commonly through shared hats, brushes, pillows, and headphones. Lice do not jump or fly.

What should I do after a lice diagnosis?

Schedule professional treatment right away to stop the spread, wash recently-used bedding and clothing in hot water, and check all household members. Our team will walk you through prevention guidance after your visit.

Do you treat the whole family?

Yes. We recommend screening every member of the household after a diagnosis and can treat the entire family in a single visit.

Are home remedies effective?

Most home remedies and over-the-counter products are no longer reliable because today's "Super Lice" are resistant to common pesticide treatments. Professional heat treatment is the fastest, most reliable solution.
