Explanation of Allergy Shots

Allergy shots, also called “immunotherapy,” target the very cause of allergic reactions. Our team administers these shots regularly, and patients often see a significant reduction in allergy symptoms. 

During this process, we inject small amounts of the allergen into a patient’s body. Over time, we gradually increase the dosage. Doing so can help the patient’s immune system build up tolerance to specific allergens. The treatment period varies, but it typically spans three to five years, offering long-lasting relief.

Those who respond well to immunotherapy become less reliant on daily allergy medication. Allergy shots have proven effective for various allergies, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and bee venom. Patients with allergic asthma can also experience symptom reduction. 

Explanation of Biologics in Allergy Treatment

Biologics are a modern advance in allergy treatment. These medications are particularly helpful to those with severe allergies or asthma. They are also appropriate for patients who do not respond well to traditional therapies. 

These advanced medications, derived from living organisms, target specific parts of the immune system that are responsible for allergic reactions. Unlike broad-spectrum allergy treatments, biologics work by blocking protein actions that trigger allergy symptoms. This precise approach can significantly reduce inflammation, decrease symptoms, and improve a patient’s quality of life.

Allergy biologics are generally administered as injections or infusions. We give patients biologics under medical supervision at regular intervals. Patients with severe allergic asthma, chronic hives, or nasal polyps may benefit greatly from biologic therapies. This tailored treatment offers hope for those who have struggled to manage their conditions, providing a path toward long-term relief.
