What Are Allergy Injections?

Allergy injections contain small, controlled doses of the specific allergens that trigger your symptoms. By gradually increasing exposure, your body builds tolerance and becomes less reactive.


The treatment begins with a buildup phase, where injections are given weekly, followed by a maintenance phase with injections spaced further apart. Most patients notice significant improvement within six months to a year, with continued progress throughout treatment.

When Allergy Injections May Be Recommended

Your provider may recommend allergy injections if you experience:

• Persistent nasal congestion, sneezing, or sinus pressure
• Allergies that do not respond to medications or avoidance strategies
• Seasonal allergies caused by pollen, mold, or dust
• Year-round symptoms from pet dander or environmental triggers
• Asthma symptoms worsened by allergies
• Chronic sinus infections related to allergies

Allergy injections are effective for both children and adults and can significantly reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Evaluation: Your provider reviews your allergy test results to determine which allergens will be included in your treatment.
2. Buildup Phase: Injections are administered one to two times per week with gradually increasing doses to help your body adjust.
3. Maintenance Phase: Once you reach your target dose, injections are given every few weeks to maintain tolerance.
4. Ongoing Monitoring: Your provider monitors progress, tracks symptom improvement, and adjusts your treatment plan as needed.

Each injection visit takes only a few minutes, followed by a short observation period to ensure safety.
