For many families, the idea of loading a child with head lice into a car and driving across town for a clinic appointment is the last thing they want to do. Lice Charmers Lice Clinic addresses that directly with a mobile in-home treatment service that delivers the same professional care families would get at one of the brick-and-mortar clinics — in the family's own living room.
A certified Lice Charmers technician arrives at the family's home at the scheduled time with the AirAllé device and all required supplies. The AirAllé is an FDA-cleared medical device that uses controlled heated air to dehydrate both adult lice and their eggs. Treatment runs roughly 90 minutes per person and is typically completed in a single visit, just like a clinic appointment. No pesticides are involved, no follow-up shampoo schedule is required, and the family does not need to do any special prep work beyond having a comfortable chair and a power outlet nearby.
Several common situations make mobile treatment the obvious choice. Families with multiple children to treat often find it easier to keep everyone home rather than make the trip to a clinic with several kids. Families with very young children sometimes opt for in-home service because a familiar setting is easier on a toddler than 90 minutes in a clinic chair. Families dealing with the social stigma of lice often appreciate the privacy of an at-home appointment — no waiting room, no neighbors recognizing them, no embarrassment.
Mobile treatment is available throughout the Portland metro area, including Portland proper, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Clackamas, Milwaukie, and the surrounding suburbs. In Washington, the service covers the greater Seattle region including Renton, Bellevue, Kent, Tukwila, Federal Way, and surrounding communities.
Mobile appointments are available during the same 7am to 8pm hours that the clinics keep, every day of the year including weekends and holidays. The wide schedule is intentional because lice problems rarely strike at convenient times.
Mobile treatment pricing is in line with clinic pricing, in the approximate range of $189 to $260 per person depending on hair length and other factors. Itemized receipts are provided for FSA, HSA, and most health insurance reimbursement claims.
Lice Charmers was founded in June 2017 by Alexis Charriere and Conor Duggan and remains family-owned today. The company operates three clinics — Portland (SE Gladstone), Beaverton, and Renton, Washington — alongside the mobile in-home service. More than 367 five-star reviews across both regions reflect a consistent record of resolving lice problems in a single visit, without chemicals.
