Allergy desensitization therapy

Allergy desensitizing therapy, also known as allergen immunotherapy, is a specialized treatment offered in our clinic to help individuals reduce or eliminate the symptoms of allergies. This therapy involves gradually exposing patients to small amounts of the allergen that triggers their allergies. The goal is to desensitize their immune system, decreasing their allergic responses over time.

The process typically involves several steps. Firstly, the patient undergoes an allergy assessment performed by our experienced doctors. Through allergy testing, the specific allergens causing the patient's symptoms are identified. Based on these results, our doctors formulate a personalized treatment plan.

The treatment plan may involve either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). SCIT involves injecting a small amount of the allergen under the patient's skin. SLIT, on the other hand, involves administering the allergen through tablets or drops that are placed under the patient's tongue. The choice between SCIT and SLIT is based on factors such as the patient's age, the severity of their allergies, and their overall health.

Once the treatment plan is determined, patients typically need to visit the clinic on a regular basis. During these visits, our doctors administer the immunotherapy by gradually increasing the dosage of the allergen. These increments continue until the patient reaches a maintenance dose, which they will receive for a specified period.

Throughout the therapy, patients are closely monitored for any adverse reactions. Our staff will carefully observe patients for signs of side effects or allergic responses. It is crucial to have qualified healthcare professionals, such as nurses or doctors, trained in managing allergic reactions readily available during these sessions.

Allergy desensitizing therapy in a clinic requires commitment and patience as the treatment duration can span several months to years. However, numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of this therapy in alleviating allergy symptoms and improving quality of life.

With careful monitoring and personalized treatment plans, our doctors offer patients a safe and effective way to manage their allergies and improve their overall well-being. If you believe you may benefit from allergy desensitizing therapy, consult with our doctors, who can guide you through the process and determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your specific allergies.
