How Our Treatment Works

We use a heated air device (similar to the FDA-cleared AirAllé®) designed to dehydrate head lice and their eggs in a single visit — without chemicals, pesticides, or messy creams.

It works by blowing controlled heated air directly along the scalp and hair shafts. This dries out lice and eggs where they live, effectively killing them through dehydration — not suffocation or toxins.

The Evidence

Our method is based on research conducted by Dr. Dale Clayton, a University of Utah biologist and inventor of the AirAllé® system. His study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Pediatrics, found:

  • 99.2% of eggs (nits) were killed in one 30-minute session

  • 80% of live lice were eradicated without any combing or chemicals

  • No side effects, no burns, and no re-infestation when aftercare was followed

To date, over 850,000 people worldwide have received this treatment with less than 1% requiring retreatment.

"This method targets the most stubborn part of the infestation — the eggs — and does so without harmful chemicals."
— Dr. Clayton, University of Utah

Chemical-Free. Family-Safe.

Most treatments on the market rely on pesticides or silicone-based suffocants. These can irritate the skin, trigger asthma, or simply fail to kill the eggs.
