Immunotherapy Treatment

Percutaneous Testing

Percutaneous skin will be performed using a sterile multitest plastic device
This device will administer small amounts of the allergen on to your back.
Once administered the technician will wait 20 minutes to see if there was a reaction
A positive reaction will create a raised bump which will then be measured to check the severity of the allergen.

Immunotherapy Injections

Once determined that you would benefit from the allergy injections, you will discuss with your provider a plan of care.
A plan of care will specify how many times a week you will come in for your injections and the length of time you will continue treatment.
The injection treatment consists of two phases: the build up and maintenance phase.
The buildup phase will be over the first few months you begin with a small does of the allergen and slowly increase the dosage until you reach your maintenance dosage.
