Treatment Goals

Our goal is to improve your allergy experience. We aim to:

  • Reduce allergy symptoms
  • Reduce medication use
  • Prevent new allergies from developing
  • Provide long-lasting relief if treatment were stopped

Hitting these goals will require a commitment to consistent medication use over time. No treatment is guaranteed to work, and there are always patients for which treatment is not effective. But with everything we do, we strive to reduce the burden of your allergies.

Results Take Time

Most patients begin to see results within the first 6 months, but results are not immediate. Some patients report benefits within just 8 weeks, while others report one to two years to see effects.

By addressing the underlying cause, immunotherapy is designed to be a long-term solution that you can enjoy for many years to come, but long-term results require at least 3-5+ years of care.

Takeaways:

  • The primary goal is to reduce the burden of your allergies.
  • Results take time, usually 6 months, and long-term results require multiple years of care.
