Yes. We can check everyone and treat confirmed cases during one appointment. This helps stop spread and saves another trip for your family.

We support you when every household member is checked and treated as needed, and you follow the simple home care steps we share. Call us with questions.
Nits are tiny, oval, and glued to hair near the scalp, often behind the ears and at the nape. Dandruff flakes move or brush away. When unsure, book a head check.
No. Saltwater and chlorine do not address lice or viable nits. After beach or pool days on Isle of Palms or Sullivan’s Island, do a quick comb check anyway.

Arrive with clean, dry, detangled hair and no oils. Bring a list of household members. Parking is easy on site. Call us about allergies or special needs.

Lice Lifters does not accept or bill insurance, but we’re happy to provide an itemized receipt after your appointment that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance company before your appointment to ask whether lice treatment may be eligible for reimbursement and what documentation they’ll need. Any reimbursement is decided by your insurer and is not guaranteed.

Yes. Lice spread through close contact and shared items. Label personal gear, avoid sharing hats and brushes, and do quick checks after sleepovers or sports.
No deep clean is needed. Wash pillowcases and recent towels, vacuum high-use sofas or car seats, and soak combs in hot soapy water. Skip harsh sprays.
No. Human head lice need a human scalp to live. Pets do not carry or spread them. Focus on checking the household and treating confirmed cases only.
Very common. Cases rise around back to school, holidays, and camp season. Early checks and fast treatment keep classrooms and activities on track.
If nits are close to the scalp, they may be viable. Our head check confirms what you see, and we treat confirmed cases to prevent them from hatching.
Find us at 1256 Ben Sawyer Blvd A, Mount Pleasant, near Ben Sawyer Bridge. The clinic has easy on-site parking and a kid-friendly setting.
