When considering different lice treatment options, it's important to keep in mind that not all lice professionals are equal. Some companies may claim to have unique or innovative treatments, but they may not always be effective or worth the cost.
Example 1: Olive Oil Treatment
One company claims to have a doctor on staff who designed their treatment. However, their treatment involves using olive oil as a medium to comb through the hair, which they claim loosens the eggs. This claim is not true, and the treatment requires the customer to apply olive oil and comb through the hair with a lice comb for several weeks. This means that the customer is essentially finishing the work, despite paying a high price for a so-called professional treatment.
Example 2: Heat Machine Treatment
Another company uses a heat machine that dehydrates the nits in the hair, making them non-viable. While this treatment may be 99.9% effective, they still comb out the customer's hair to remove any remaining nits, just in case. However, they then send the customer home with instructions to apply oil, which means that the treatment may not be fully effective. It's also important to note that the company using the heat machine has to rent it from the inventor, which is a cost that is passed on to the customer. So while their treatment may seem innovative, it may not necessarily be worth the added expense.
Read Company Reviews from All Sources
When choosing a lice treatment professional, it's crucial to do your research and gather information from multiple sources. Reading company reviews from various platforms, including the Better Business Bureau (BBB), can provide insights into the experiences of other customers and help you make an informed decision. Look for a company that has a proven track record of success and positive reviews from satisfied customers.
