Allergy Treatment
Would you like to treat the cause of your allergies rather that just the symptoms?
Advanced Allergy Associates of New Mexico offers both traditional immunotherapy and sub-lingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
Immunotherapy, also called allergy shots, are given to increase your body’s immunity to the allergens that cause allergy symptoms.
Allergy shots are usually recommended for those who have symptoms greater than twelve weeks a year.
Similarly, SLIT works like allergy shots and you may be a candidate.
