Product Information

Full details

The Medisana LC 860 Electric Lice Comb is designed for individuals seeking a chemical-free method to remove head lice and nits. Its primary benefit is providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional chemical treatments. A key caveat is that it should not be used on irritated or damaged scalps. This battery-operated device uses fine metal comb teeth that deliver a gentle electrical pulse on contact with lice, aiding in their elimination during combing. It's suitable for adults, children over 3, and even pets, offering a versatile solution for regular checks or treatment plans.
