Allergy Testing in Louisville, Kentucky

Summer is a time of outdoor fun. Unfortunately, for many people, those activities are hindered by seasonal allergies. Most turn to prescriptions and over-the-counter medications to help hinder symptoms, but these methods only work to an extent. Luckily, there is permanent relief available to you. Whether you want to enjoy your favorite sport again or need to stop sneezing around the family pet, there is a noninvasive treatment that will eradicate your problem.

Immunotherapy is a treatment that desensitizes your body to pollen and dander. The process includes the use of antigens. These are harmless particles that replicate the same reaction in your body as allergens. When they are taken in incremental doses, your immune system eventually grows accustomed to their presence. This means that when you are exposed to the actual allergen, you will not respond to them like you usually would. Immunotherapy is a cure, not a stopgap.

There are 2 kinds of immunotherapy: injections and drops. We specialize in the drops because they provide a host of benefits without a painful procedure and frequent trips to the clinic. Once you get the remedy from your doctor, the rest of the process can be done from the comfort of your own home. You simply place a few droplets of the antigen under your tongue every day. This acclimates your body slowly. After a few months, you will notice a significant drop in your allergic reactions. After a couple of years, they will be gone completely.
