Here’s the info, from loyal reader Anna:
The Asheville Lice Treatment Center, run by Anna Warren, is the first Asheville head lice treatment and removal facility, offering guaranteed lice and nit removal services. The Asheville Lice Treatment Center is located at 959 Merrimon Avenue, Building B, Suite 103.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates between 6 to 12 million people get head lice each year. Head lice is the number one cause of school absenteeism, with most cases occurring in preschool- and elementary-school aged children, their family members, and caregivers.
Owner Anna Warren experienced head lice first hand, when her child came home from school one day and informed her that “he” had removed several bugs from his head during Spanish class. After a brief moment of disbelief and horror, she sped off to Walgreens to find the most toxic (because she thought toxic=effective) treatment available. After unsuccessful treatment and hours of nitpicking, followed by subsequent research and training, she realized there was a safer, more effective way to treat head lice.
Using only non-toxic, all-natural products and procedures, The Asheville Lice Treatment Center will eliminate head lice in one visit using The Shepherd Method™, a proven, strand-by-strand, research-based technique that has a foundation in old-fashioned, comprehensive nit picking. Another newer treatment option offers the LouseBuster™ device, which provides a revolutionary new way to kill head lice and their eggs without using pesticides or other chemicals. Clinical studies have shown that the device, which uses only controlled heated air, provides a very safe, fast and very effective way to kill all stages of head lice – including lice eggs.
The Asheville Lice Treatment Center provides head lice treatments, head checks, and education to individuals and families, as well as to children and staff in school, daycare, and camp settings in all of Western North Carolina. The Asheville Lice Treatment Center also offers all-natural products and solutions for families who which to self-treat and/or prevent head lice.
