HOUR STAFF REPORTS

      STAMFORD - Licenders, a head-lice removal service, announces the grand opening of its new lice treatment center, 30 Myano Lane, Suite 38, in Stamford.

      The Connecticut treatment Center will have trained head-lice removal experts that specialize in head lice removal, head lice treatments, education and prevention, according to a news release.

      Licenders will offer free lice screenings January through April.

     "Incidents of head lice have been growing at an alarming rate in this country as the widespread use of pesticide-based products has created a 'superbug,' " said Adie Horowitz, owner of Licenders.

      "People don't realize how many different ways you can get head lice - not just at camp and school, but traveling, sharing clothing, and so forth. and it's not just for kids," Horowitz said.

      The center will be using breakthrough technology in its treatment process - the LouseBuster device, a patented medical device that has been reviewed and cleared by the FDA. The LouseBuster device kills head lice and their eggs without using pesticides or other chemicals; the treatment uses only controlled heated air delivered by certified operators. The treatment is performed by a trained Licenders Certified operator who uses a disposable applicator tip attached to the LouseBuster device to direct carefully controlled heated air against the hair roots and scalp where lice and their eggs typically are located.

      The salon will offer all natural lice removal and products, head lice screenings for schools and camps, and in-home lice removal service. The treatment center supports 20 licensed staff members. Contact Licenders at (888) LICENDERS or visit its website at www.licenders.com.
