What Is Immunotherapy?
Dr. Joseph Escobar uses immunotherapy as a preventive treatment for allergic reactions. Immunotherapy for allergies is a treatment designed to gradually reduce the body's sensitivity to specific allergens. This approach involves exposing the immune system to increasing amounts of the allergen over time, either through allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy) or sublingual tablets (sublingual immunotherapy). The goal is to help the immune system build tolerance to the allergen, leading to fewer and less severe allergic reactions. Immunotherapy can be particularly effective for individuals with persistent allergies to pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander, offering long-term relief and potentially reducing the need for daily allergy medications.

How Does Immunotherapy Work?
At Joseph Escobar, MD in Los Angeles and Agoura Hills, CA, immunotherapy works by gradually desensitizing your immune system to specific allergens. This treatment begins with an initial evaluation to identify the allergens causing your symptoms. Based on this assessment, Dr. Escobar creates a personalized immunotherapy plan, which may involve allergy shots or sublingual tablets. Over time, you'll receive incremental doses of the allergen to build your tolerance and reduce your allergic reactions. This approach aims to provide long-lasting relief from allergy symptoms and improve your overall quality of life by addressing the root cause of your allergies rather than just managing symptoms.
