Advanced ENT Services in Austin, TX
Allergy Testing and Treatment Center
Our Allergy Testing and Treatment Center provides comprehensive needle-free allergy testing and immunotherapy so you and your family can get your ENT care and allergy care in one convenient location. We offer SLIT (Allergy Drop Therapy) to block your allergic reaction before it starts. This convenient form of immunotherapy is done by the patient at home each night to prevent their allergy symptoms using their immune system. With daily exposure to what you are allergic to your immune system builds a force field of antibodies to eliminate the allergen before you react to it. This preemptively blocks the allergic reaction, unlike medication, which simply puts a band-aid on the symptoms after the reaction has occurred.
