Online Head Lice Treatment

Effective, private head lice care — prescription treatment and clear guidance from a licensed provider, without a clinic visit.

Clear Up Head Lice From Home

Head lice are tiny insects that live in the hair and cause itching. They are common, especially among school-aged children, and they spread through close head-to-head contact. While they are not dangerous, they do need treatment to clear.

During a virtual visit, a licensed provider can confirm the likely diagnosis based on your description, recommend treatment, and prescribe medication when appropriate — along with practical steps to prevent reinfestation.

How Treatment Works

Treatment usually involves a medicated product applied to the hair, sometimes combined with careful combing to remove lice and eggs. Your provider will recommend an option and explain how to use it correctly, repeat it if needed, and reduce the chance of lice returning.

Your visit is a flat $39 — a transparent, cash-pay rate with no insurance required.

When Telehealth Is a Good Fit

  • Itching and signs of lice in children or adults
  • Wanting prescription-strength options or guidance
  • Looking to treat the whole household conveniently

When to seek in-person care: See a provider in person if the scalp shows signs of infection, such as spreading redness, sores, swelling, or pus, which may need additional treatment.
