Effectively get rid of lice and nits in just 10 minutes with one application of AntiPiojos ISDIN.
During the school year and holiday season, the spread and infestation of lice is very common. It usually affects between 10% and 20% of the school-age population, reaching up to 50% in some cases, and causing a social problem in schools and many family homes.
Lice are a growing problem around the world, as a result of resistance to treatment with traditional insecticides, incorrect or inadequate application of treatments, and re-infestations after treatment.

Neemtech: ISDIN Head Lice Gel is a product designed for children, but it is also suitable for adults. That is why it has been formulated with a specific natural ingredient - the seed extract of the Neem tree - extracted using a patented method.
Gel-Shampoo: Its gel-shampoo texture, together with ingredients possessing outstanding cosmetic properties, leaves hair in perfect condition after treatment, making the use of an additional shampoo unnecessary.
ISDIN Head Lice Gel has been clinically tested in real use conditions. It covers, immobilises and suffocates lice, resulting in their asphyxiation and dehydration. It also penetrates the spiracles (respiratory openings) and destroys nits, with a physical mechanism of action that prevents resistance.
The first indication of lice is constant scratching, and children may repeatedly complain of an itchy head. Diagnosis can be confirmed by inspecting the head and identifying the presence of lice and/or nits (eggs).
Adults are less prone to lice because of their different habits and daily activities. However, they are not immune to lice infestations, which tend to be localised on the head, and sometimes the eyebrows, eyelashes and beard.
Although there is no evidence to suggest that girls’ hair attracts lice more than boys’ hair, the likelihood of lice infestation is greater in girls than in boys. This may be because, at certain ages, girls play games which involve more direct hair-to-hair contact and share certain objects like hair bands, combs, hair ties for ponytails or hair clips.
To prevent a lice infestation, children’s hair must be regularly inspected. It is important to thoroughly inspect their heads, using a nit comb if possible, especially if there is an outbreak at school. There are also very effective preventive products such as lice repellents, although they should only be used after an infestation to prevent reinfestation and further spreading.
No. There is no reason to keep children out of school if the pediculicide treatment has been applied at home. Once the treatment has been correctly applied, children can go back to school. However, it is important for the parents to let the school know if their child has lice in order to prevent further spreading and to allow them to take any necessary measures.
No. Head lice do not live on pets. It is extremely rare for lice to infest domesticated animals.
