Allergy Treatment

Immunotherapy is a preventative treatment for allergies caused by common allergens like pollen, dust mites, molds, and animal dander. Unlike over-the-counter medications that only alleviate symptoms, immunotherapy addresses the underlying cause of allergic reactions. It involves gradually introducing increasing doses of specific allergens to help your immune system build natural immunity. This process can ultimately reduce allergic reactions without the need for ongoing medication.
