Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), also known as hyposensitization, is a proven method of treating allergies. It involves slowly acclimatizing the body to the allergen in order 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 sustainable: it combats the cause of the allergy and not just the symptoms. Studies show that it significantly improves the quality of life of those affected and reduces the risk of new allergies.
