🌿 What is Immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a medical treatment that gradually desensitizes your immune system to specific allergens. It works by introducing small, controlled doses of allergens over time, helping your body build tolerance and reduce allergic reactions.

There are two main types of allergy immunotherapy:

  • Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) – Allergy shots

  • Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) – Allergy drops or tablets placed under the tongue

✅ Conditions Treated with Immunotherapy

  • Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)

  • Asthma triggered by allergens

  • Dust mite allergy

  • Pollen and seasonal allergies

  • Mold or pet dander allergies

  • Insect sting allergies (bees, wasps)

🔬 How Does Immunotherapy Work?

  1. Allergy Testing – First, we identify your specific allergens through a skin prick test or blood test.

  2. Treatment Plan – A personalized immunotherapy schedule is designed.

  3. Build-Up Phase – Gradual increase in allergen dose (usually weekly or biweekly).

  4. Maintenance Phase – Regular doses to maintain desensitization (monthly or as prescribed).

  5. Symptom Relief – Most patients see significant improvement in symptoms within 6–12 months, with long-term benefits.
