East Metro Lice Treatment for Twin Cities Families
Served at our Hopkins Clinic
Ladibugs provides East Metro lice treatment from our clinic at 7900 Excelsior Blvd in Hopkins, MN. Families drive in from Woodbury, Stillwater, Hudson, and the communities listed below, and nearly all of them finish in one visit. Each head takes about 30 minutes, so a household of four is a single appointment rather than four separate trips.

One Drive Here Beats Two Weeks of Drugstore Rounds
Most families on the east side have already tried a box kit before they call. The sequence is familiar: a permethrin or pyrethrin shampoo from the store, a second application a week later because the label says so, and combing sessions in between that nobody enjoys. Resistance to those active ingredients has been widely documented across the United States, which is why the second and third round so often turns up live bugs again.
Add up what that costs in evenings. Two rounds of product, a nit comb, the laundry, and the reinfestation that follows one missed egg tend to take more of your week than one drive across the metro. Highway 36 and I-94 both feed straight into the west side, and the clinic sits just off Excelsior Blvd near Highway 169.
How Our East Metro Lice Treatment Works
Treatment uses our Zyma Air Therapy process, which applies cooled air to your hair. There is no harsh chemicals, no pesticides, and no long waits involved, and it works on lice and nits across every stage of the life cycle rather than only on hatched adults. That is what lets an appointment end in 30 minutes instead of running the two to four hours that strand-by-strand picking requires.
| Ladibugs | Nit-picking and combing clinics | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | About 30 minutes per head | Two to four hours per head |
| Method | Cooled air with a natural product application | Strand-by-strand picking through hair |
| Outcome | Backed by our lice-free guarantee | One missed egg restarts the infestation |
| Cost | One set price of $249 per treatment | Hourly rate plus additional fees |
We treat children and adults, and we check heads before treating so you know exactly what you are dealing with. Every visit includes a free recheck between days 7 and 14. The treatment is eligible for FSA and HSA payment on most accounts, so you can use your provider-issued card at checkout.
When the School Notice Comes Home
Head lice move through the east metro the way they move anywhere children are close together: shared hooks in a coat room, bus seats, sleepovers, hockey and wrestling, and phones held head to head for a photo. A notice from South Washington County, Stillwater Area, White Bear Lake Area, Forest Lake Area, or Mahtomedi schools usually arrives after the bugs have been in the building for a while.
What districts ask families to do varies. Minnesota schools have largely moved away from the old no-nit exclusion rules, and Hudson families fall under Wisconsin guidance instead, so read the notice rather than assuming. Our summary of Minnesota head lice school policies is a useful starting point before you call the health office.
Booking an Appointment From the East Side
To discuss your lice concerns or schedule an appointment call or text 612.804.8888. We will provide you with all available appointment slots. We are available by phone or text from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and same-day appointments are often open.
Tell us how many heads need checking when you call, since that determines how to accommodate you. If you are not certain anyone has lice, book a head-check screening first rather than guessing from a drugstore magnifier.
Common Questions From East Metro Families
Do you have a clinic in Woodbury or Stillwater?
No. All East Metro lice treatment is done at our Hopkins clinic on Excelsior Blvd, which serves the full Twin Cities metro from one location.
Can our whole family be treated in the same appointment?
Yes. Multiple heads are handled in one booking. Tell us the number when you call so we can allow the right amount of time.
Do we need to bag every toy and strip every bed?
Far less than most people expect. Lice do not survive long away from a scalp, so the cleaning that matters is narrow and specific. Our home cleaning guide covers what is worth doing and what is wasted effort.
East Metro lice treatment does not need to take over your week. Call or text Ladibugs at 612.804.8888 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. any day, and we will find you the first open slot.
