Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), also known as hyposensitization, is a proven method for treating allergies. The body is gradually accustomed to the allergen to reduce or completely prevent the immune system's overreaction in the long term.

In SCIT, tiny amounts of the allergen are injected under the skin, initially at short intervals and later at longer intervals. This therapy usually lasts three to five years and is particularly suitable for pollen, house dust mite, or insect venom allergies.

Subcutaneous immunotherapy is not only effective but also long-lasting: it addresses the cause of the allergy and not just the symptoms. Studies show that it significantly improves patients' quality of life and reduces the risk of new allergies.
