Helpful Resources on Head Lice
The Lice Aunties Service Guarantee and LouseBuster™ Device Information
The LouseBuster™ Treatment is clinically proven to kill 99.2% of lice eggs and 87.3% of live lice after just one thirty minute treatment. If you choose not to treat your environment as outlined by our Lice Aunties team then you run the risk of re-infestation and our guarantee will not apply
We require that all family members and childcare providers be checked and cleared during the treatment period. If another family member is found to have lice or nits they must be treated by our team at that time in order for our guarantee to apply. Families must follow all recommendations advised by Lice Aunties. Please save any nits or lice that you find in your hair for examination.
LOUSEBUSTER™ DEVICE INFORMATION
Device and Treatment Description
The LouseBuster™ is a portable, electrically powered device consisting of the main LouseBuster™ power and air supply unit, a flexible delivery hose, and a single-use applicator. During treatments, the applicator is manually positioned by a LouseBuster Certified Operator™ to systematically direct controlled heated air exiting the applicator to the entire scalp and hair roots of an individual with head lice.
Intended Use and Contraindications
The LouseBuster™ device is intended for use to kill or remove lice and lice eggs in the head hair of adults and children 4 years of age and older. It is for use on persons with untangled hair that can be combed or picked through with a standard comb. The hair must be clean, dry and free of hair treatment products.
The LouseBuster™ device cannot be used to treat persons who: cannot sense temperature or pain; cannot
communicate physical discomfort; have open head wounds, sores, or visible signs of skin or scalp conditions; have received radiation treatment of the head within the last 6 months; or have cranial or facial implants.
Caution
The LouseBuster™ device is very effective at killing or removing head lice and eggs. However, dead lice and dead eggs will remain in the hair after treatment. It is also possible that some lice or eggs may have been missed during the treatment. So, for cosmetic reasons, and to help assure that all lice and eggs are removed, Larada Sciences™ recommends that individual clients either receive or perform a complete comb-out with a fine-tooth louse comb after treatment.
Because the device delivers heated air, there is a slight possibility of scalp burn if the device is not used according to instructions.
