Virtual Lice Checks

Quick professional guidance with a convenient virtual lice check from home using photos or videos reviewed by trained lice technicians.

Not sure if it’s lice? Our Virtual Lice Check option allows families to receive professional guidance without needing an in-home appointment. If you suspect lice or have found possible evidence in the hair, you can send clear photos or short videos against a white background for review by one of our trained technicians.

After reviewing the submitted images or videos, we can help determine whether the evidence appears positive or negative for head lice and provide guidance on recommended next steps. This service is ideal for families seeking peace of mind after a school exposure, recent itching, possible lice findings, or post-treatment follow-up concerns.

If lice is suspected, we can also provide recommendations for treatment options and assist with scheduling professional in-home lice removal services in available service areas.
