Celebrating our 10-year anniversary, our professional head lice removal clinic is family owned and operated by Southern California residents Dr. Marla Weiss and Scott Weiss, along with a dedicated team of certified head lice technicians.
Our award-winning clinic has been featured on major southern California news outlets including CBS Los Angeles, Univision Los Angeles, Hoy Los Angeles, Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, Seal Beach Sun, The South Bay Today Radio Show, KFIAM 640 Los Angeles, and the South Bay Daily Breeze.
Most families that call us tell us they tried to treat lice themselves, thought they solved the problem, only for it to"to come back." We explain to them that most likely it never left. If you miss even one lice egg when trying to treat lice yourself, you can have head lice for days, weeks, months, and even years. Even if you can treat it yourself, you have no guarantee or insurance if it comes back. Along with our 99%+ success rate, our Signature Treatment also comes with a 30-day lice free guarantee. As long as we have head screened all immediate family members living with the person we treat full time or part time, if the person we treated gets lice within 30 days for any reason beyond our control you can call us back and we will provide a complimentary treatment.

In 2015, Marla and all of our three children all had lice at the same time. Marla went to the local drug store and bought product full of chemicals that did not work. All four still had lice after two frustrating weeks and Marla wondered if our family that has a mother who has such a great medical background was having such a challenge treating lice what do other families go through? We were determined to find a better, chemical free way to treat lice for Southern California families.
We were originally a licensee of Lice Clinics of America. Our first clinic was Lice Clinics of America-Los Alamitos followed by Lice Clinics of America South Bay. In 2020, when COVID entered all of our lives, we closed down our Los Alamitos location, left the Lice Clinics of America model, and rebranded as Torrance Lice Removal.
Since our humble beginnings in 2015, we have successfully head screened or treated over 50,000 people representing over 850 different schools and 69 different cities throughout Southern California. We view ourselves as an Emergency Room for head lice. Our mission is to turn what can be a very stressful event into a pleasant family experience that is actually enjoyable and the standard of care for head lice treatment.
We support the communities we serve through lice education, lice head screening, lice treatment, community involvement, and donations of our services back to the communities we serve.
We exist to allow children, parents, and families in our community to have their lice infestation solved right away and to sleep well at night.
Head lice never happens at a good time and no one every wants it. We provide a clinically proven, evidence-based service that is chemical free, stress free, and that can end your lice infestation in about 1 hour so you can get back to your lives.
