How Can Immunotherapy Help Your Allergies?
Allergy shots (also known as Immunotherapy) are a treatment used to relieve allergy symptoms of hay fever (itchy eyes/nose, congestion, runny nose, sneezing) or allergic asthma (chronic cough or wheeze) by administering injections of substances such as pollens, mold spores, dust mites, animal dander or insects to which an individual has been found to be allergic to by skin testing.
Our process involves desensitization to allergic reaction triggers over time. Although it requires time and patience, the payback can be long-term, medication-free relief!

A Two-Phase Approach to Building Immunity
Phase 1: Build-Up Phase (6-9 Months)
We give increasing doses of allergy injections once or twice a week until a predetermined target or “maintenance” dose is achieved.
Phase 2: Maintenance Phase (3-5 Years)
Once this maintenance dose is reached, shots are usually administered every 2-4 weeks over the several years of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
What is Immunotherapy?
Allergen immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, is a form of long-term treatment that decreases symptoms for many people with allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, conjunctivitis (eye allergy) or stinging insect allergy.
Allergy shots decrease sensitivity to allergens and often leads to lasting relief of allergy symptoms even after treatment is stopped. This makes it a cost-effective, beneficial treatment approach for many people.
Who Can Benefit From Allergy Shots?
Short answer – anyone who suffers from the symptoms of seasonal allergies!
How does immunotherapy work?
Allergy shots work like a vaccine. Your body responds to injected amounts of a particular allergen, given in gradually increasing doses, by developing immunity or tolerance to the allergen.
How effective is immunotherapy?
Allergy shots have shown to decrease symptoms of many allergies. It can prevent the development of new allergies. The effectiveness of allergy shots appears to be related to the length of the treatment program as well as the dose of the allergen. Some people experience lasting relief from allergy symptoms.
Are there side-effects?
Rarely, in about 1-5% of people, the patient may experience mild localized reactions and generalized (systemic) reactions. These reactions necessitate a dosage adjustment.
How long does the procedure take?
Not long at all! Though we do require a patient to remain in-office for 20 minutes after the procedure to monitor for possible reactions.
