Allergy Shots
Allergy immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, is a proven long-term treatment that helps reduce symptoms in individuals with allergic rhinitis, allergy-induced asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, and reactions to insect stings.
The treatment works by gradually decreasing the body’s sensitivity to allergens. As a result, many patients experience lasting relief that often continues even after the therapy is completed. Because of these long-lasting benefits, allergy shots are considered both cost-effective and highly effective for a wide range of people.
Allergy Shots in the El Dorado Hills Area
Board-Certified Allergists in El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Roseville, Rocklin, and the surrounding areas.
Allergy shots offer lasting relief for patients in the El Dorado Hills area who struggle with a wide range of allergies, including indoor, seasonal, and insect-related triggers, as well as chronic conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, and eczema.
Often referred to as immunotherapy, allergy shots work by carefully exposing the immune system to small amounts of allergens on a regular basis. Over time, this process helps the body become less reactive, addressing the root cause of allergies rather than just masking symptoms. Currently, immunotherapy is the only treatment available that alters the immune system in this way.
In addition to easing common allergy symptoms, allergy shots can also help individuals dealing with related conditions such as recurrent ear infections and sinus infections.
Our program is overseen by a board-certified allergist with extensive experience in immunotherapy. For most patients, treatment leads to a significant reduction in allergy symptoms, often by 80 to 90 percent.
Allergy Shots Provide Treatment For Common Allergies
Although allergy injections can deliver excellent results for many patients, it is important to recognize that immunotherapy is not the right solution for everyone or for every type of allergy. Individuals considering allergy shots should have realistic expectations about both the process and the timeline required for desensitization.

- Experience indoor allergies caused by dust mites, cockroaches, mold, or pet dander
