Sublingual Immunotherapy
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an alternative to traditional allergy injections, where small doses of an allergen are administered under the tongue to help build the body’s tolerance to the allergen. This treatment is commonly used for allergies to pollen, dust mites, animal dander, and certain foods. SLIT is a convenient and less invasive way to manage allergies, as it can be administered at home under medical guidance, providing long-term relief by gradually desensitizing the immune system to the allergen. At Revere Health, we offer personalized sublingual immunotherapy treatments to help patients reduce their allergy symptoms and improve their quality of life.
How Sublingual Immunotherapy Works
Daily Dosing: Patients place a small dose of the allergen under the tongue, allowing the immune system to become accustomed to it over time.
Gradual Tolerance: Over the course of several months or years, the body builds up a tolerance to the allergen, reducing allergic reactions.
At-Home Treatment: Unlike allergy shots, SLIT can be done in the comfort of your own home, with periodic check-ups with your physician.
Benefits of Sublingual Immunotherapy
Needle-Free: SLIT eliminates the need for injections, making it a great option for those who prefer a less invasive treatment.
Convenient: Patients can administer the treatment at home, reducing the need for frequent office visits.
Effective for Multiple Allergens: SLIT can be tailored to treat multiple allergens, providing relief for complex allergic conditions.
Long-Term Relief: Over time, SLIT helps reduce the severity of allergy symptoms and can even lead to long-lasting tolerance.
