What are allergy shots, and how do they work?


Customized Allergy Treatment
At Amerimmune Clinic, we recognize that each patient’s allergy profile is unique. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation to identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms. Based on this, we design a personalized immunotherapy plan, gradually increasing allergen doses to build your tolerance. During the initial phase, patients visit the clinic one to three times a week for injections. After three to six months, most transition to a maintenance phase, receiving shots every three to four weeks for several years, depending on individual progress.

Understanding the Mechanism
We educate our patients on the science of allergy shots, focusing on desensitizing the immune system. This approach shifts antibody production from IgE, which triggers allergic reactions, to IgG, which blocks allergens and reduces symptoms. The goal is to adapt your body, resulting in fewer and less severe allergic reactions over time.

Expertise and Safety
Our skilled team ensures treatments are safe and effective, targeting allergies like pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, and insect stings. While local reactions are common, systemic reactions are rare, and our clinic is equipped to handle them.

Consultation and Support
Schedule a consultation with our experts to explore if allergy immunotherapy is right for you. We’ll guide you through each step toward improved health and well-being.

How effective are allergy shots in reducing allergy symptoms?


Our approach to allergen immunotherapy is rooted in personalized care and evidence-based practices. Allergy shots work by gradually desensitizing your immune system through controlled exposure to specific allergens. This method involves systematically increasing the doses of the allergen, allowing the body to build tolerance and significantly reduce allergic reactions.

Clinical research supports the effectiveness of allergy shots, with up to 85% of patients experiencing symptom relief within the first year. At Amerimmune Clinic, we have witnessed firsthand how this treatment can lead to a dramatic reduction in symptoms, decreased reliance on allergy medications, and an overall improvement in quality of life. For many of our patients, immunotherapy also helps in preventing the development of new allergies and reducing asthma severity.

Holistic Benefits Beyond Symptom Control
The advantages of allergy shots extend beyond mere symptom management. By opting for allergen immunotherapy at Amerimmune Clinic, you can expect:

• Enhanced daily life quality with fewer allergy disruptions.
• Reduced need for ongoing medication, minimizing potential side effects and lowering healthcare costs.
• Strengthened immune system function, potentially reducing the risk of future infections.
• Long-lasting relief even after the treatment concludes, as your immune system’s modified response continues to protect against allergens.

Discover how Amerimmune Clinic can help you achieve lasting relief from allergies. Schedule a consultation with our specialists today to explore if allergen immunotherapy is the right path for your allergy management journey.

What allergens can be treated with allergy shots?


Our clinic specializes in treating a variety of environmental allergens, including pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, as well as dust mites and mold spores that can trigger year-round allergy symptoms. Pet owners allergic to dander from cats, dogs, or horses can benefit from our targeted immunotherapy, enabling a more comfortable coexistence with their pets. We also offer effective treatments for insect allergens, such as bees, wasps, and hornet stings, reducing sensitivity and the risk of severe reactions.

While allergy shots are highly effective for many allergens, they are not typically used for food or drug allergies. For sensitivities like peanuts, shellfish, latex, or certain medications, our team provides expert guidance on management options. At Amerimmune Clinic, patient safety remains our priority as we offer tailored solutions to help you enjoy a healthier, allergy-free life.
