Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a modern, needle-free alternative to traditional allergy shots. This treatment involves placing specially formulated allergen drops under your tongue on a daily basis to gradually build tolerance to environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold.
At Atkins Expert Sinus Care of San Antonio, we offer SLIT as part of a personalized allergy management plan — especially for patients who want a more convenient, at-home solution for allergy desensitization.
Sublingual immunotherapy is ideal for patients with confirmed environmental allergies through skin testing or blood work.
SLIT May Be Right If You Have:
At Atkins Expert Sinus Care Sinus, we always confirm allergy triggers through in-office testing before starting SLIT.
SLIT is a long-term treatment, typically taken daily for 3 to 5 years, to achieve full desensitization. Most patients start to feel improvement within a few months.
How the Process Works: 1. Allergy testing to identify your specific triggers 2. Customized prescription for allergen drops 3. Initial supervised dose in our clinic to ensure safety 4. Daily at-home use by placing drops under the tongue 5. Regular follow-ups to track progress and adjust dosage if needed
SLIT is safe, well-tolerated, and supported by extensive clinical research — with very low risk of serious side effects.
SLIT works by retraining your immune system to stop overreacting to harmless allergens. By introducing small, controlled doses of allergens over time, your body builds resistance — significantly reducing allergy symptoms in the long term.
Key Benefits of SLIT Include:
SLIT is especially helpful for patients who can’t tolerate allergy shots or prefer a non-invasive alternative.
