What is Head Lice and How Does it Spread?

Head lice are small insects that infest the scalp and hair of humans. They feed on blood from the scalp and can cause itching and discomfort. Head lice spread through close head-to-head contact with an infected person or by sharing personal items such as combs, brushes, hats, and headphones. They cannot jump or fly but can crawl from one person's hair to another. Children in close quarters, such as in school or daycare, are at a higher risk of infestation. Head lice are a common problem in Lahore and many other cities around Pakistan. Cosmetique Clinic provides an effective and reliable solution to head lice infestations with their head lice treatment. Furthermore, our team of expert dermatologists uses the latest medical treatments to get rid of head lice quickly and efficiently. With a commitment to patient safety and satisfaction, Cosmetique Clinic provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for head lice treatment in Lahore.

How to Diagnose Lice Infestation?


Diagnosing a head lice infestation is typically done by checking for the presence of lice or their eggs (nits) on the scalp, hair, and neck. If you are unsure whether what you are seeing is a lice infestation or not, you can seek advice from a specialized clinic like Cosmetique Clinic in DHA Lahore. We have the expertise and experience to diagnose and provide effective head lice treatment in Lahore.

Here are the steps to diagnose lice infestation:
  • Part the hair: Use a comb or your fingers to part the hair into small sections to make it easier to see the scalp and any lice or nits.
  • Check for lice: Look for live lice on the scalp and neck. Generally, lice are small (about the size of a sesame seed), gray or brown in color, and move quickly.
  • Check for nits: Look for tiny, oval-shaped eggs cemented to the hair shaft close to the scalp. Nits are about the size of a pinhead and can be difficult to see.
  • Repeat the process: Repeat the process on different sections of the hair to make sure you check the entire scalp.
  • Over the counter Treatments Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for head lice are available in the form of shampoos, sprays, and combs. The most common active ingredients in OTC lice treatments are permethrin and pyrethrin.
    Generally, permethrin and pyrethrin are insecticides that work by killing lice and their eggs. They are typically applied to the scalp, left on for 10 minutes, and then rinsed off. People may need to repeat some OTC treatments after 7 to 10 days to kill newly hatched lice.
