While looking at different treatment options, you may have noticed a label that states “Treatment will kill super-lice” or “effective against super-lice”. This likely prompted the question, “What is super-lice exactly?” Lice is bad enough, but now we have to worry about a super version of that lice!?!

The good news is it that super-lice is not a different species of lice. They do not have superpowers – thank goodness! These are simply bugs that seem to be more resistant to the over-the-counter medications currently offered in the market. While the over-the-counter treatment options may work in killing the lice bugs, the most effective way to get rid of lice for good is through a professional lice removal treatment.

Instead of simply trying to kill the bugs in the hair, a professional lice removal treatment removes all active lice and lice eggs (nits) from the hair. The process is tedious and takes time, however, once treated there are little concerns of lice or super-lice returning.

If you or a family member are concerned about head lice, the quickest and easiest way to determine whether it is lice, is to visit a professional lice clinic.
