What is Duo LP-Pro Lenses and Lice Treatment used for?
This lice treatment contains:
- Hair lotion + fine-toothed comb (delousing comb) made of white plastic (rake-shaped with a handle).
- 150 ml plastic bottle + case, with a specialized applicator featuring a fine tip.
Duo LP-Pro’s innovative formula eliminates nits and lice through a mechanical action, without using insecticides. As soon as it is applied to the hair, Oxyphthirine acts on the respiratory system of nits and lice, causing them to suffocate. Oxyphthirine blocks the micro-perforated covers of the nits and the breathing holes of the lice to halt their development completely and thus eradicate the infestation.

Duo LP-Pro contains a specific ingredient that helps dissolve the adhesive (spumaline) that keeps nits attached to the hair, making it easier to remove them.
It’s normal to see nits still attached to the hair after treatment is complete, but these are dead and will fall out over time. Only if a nit hatches into a louse within 48 hours after treatment does this indicate that the treatment has failed.
We also offer Natessance Kids Organic Papoo Lavender Spray 100 ml at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How do you use this lice treatment?
Shake the bottle well before use. At the end of the day, in the evening, apply the product directly to dry hair using the technique recommended below
- Step 1 = Applying the Duo LP Pro Lotion: Place a towel over your shoulders and divide the hair into 4 sections. For long hair, tie each section separately. Treat each section individually, parting the hair section by section. Using the applicator, apply a thick, continuous line of lotion to the hair roots. Simultaneously massage with your fingertips using circular motions to distribute the lotion evenly. Repeat the process to cover the entire scalp. Pay special attention to the nape of the neck and behind the ears. After treating the entire scalp, coat all of the hair with the remaining lotion to reach all nits and lice.
- Step 2 = Application of Duo LP Pro Lotion: Carefully massage the entire head of hair to ensure complete coverage.
- Step 3 = Removal: Use the fine-toothed comb (delousing comb) to remove the lice and nits. Tilt the hair forward, starting at the nape of the neck, and comb strand by strand, beginning as close to the scalp as possible and working toward the ends of the hair. After each pass, wipe the fine-toothed comb on a piece of cotton or paper towel to remove the lotion containing the suffocated nits and lice. Discard the used cloth. Tuck the treated strands back toward the side that has already been combed. Do not rinse the hair until the next morning. Let the hair air dry or use a hair dryer.

Our advice and expert opinions from pharmacists
To combat lice infestations, it is essential to eliminate all stages of the insect’s development—that is, adults, larvae, and eggs (nits)—to truly get rid of the problem.
Lice have no natural enemies, and a female louse can lay up to 10 nits per day—or 300 nits over the course of her adult life (see diagram opposite). As a result, infestations can spread extremely quickly.
Head lice can survive up to 2 days off the scalp. Head lice can therefore be transmitted:
- directly: from head to head (through the sharing of clothing such as scarves, hats, etc.);
- indirectly: lice can survive up to 36 hours off the scalp. Lice can therefore be transmitted via household textiles (sofas, pillows, stuffed animals, car seats, etc.).
It is important not to let children scratch too often, as this could lead to skin lesions and, more seriously, to a bacterial skin infection.
To enhance its effectiveness, we recommend making a rinse solution with white vinegar (2 L of water to one glass of white vinegar) to apply after each shampoo.
As a preventive measure, we recommend using fine lavender essential oil; apply 1 drop behind each ear (for children ages 3 and up).
