Allergy Shots vs. Sublingual Immunotherapy
Hi, we’re the doctors & team at Wyndly. 👋
We’ve put together resources below to guide your research into allergy shots vs immunotherapy (sometimes called “allergy drops”). You can give it a read or book a consultation with a board-certified doctor to discuss treatment and your eligibility below.
Life’s better without allergies
TL;DR Sublingual (under-the-tongue) treatment has been proven to be as effective as in-office shots, but without the shots.
You can get personalized treatment plans prescribed by board-certified doctors and delivered to your door with Wyndly so you’re symptom free within 3-6 months.
You don’t have to live with allergies
Allergy ShotsA traditional method of immunotherapy that involves injecting small amounts of allergen extracts under the skin in order to retrain your immune system over time.
ImmunotherapyA more modern immunotherapy practice that involves placing allergen extracts under the tongue. It includes allergy drops and allergy tablets.
Allergy ShotsGenerally safe, but 27% of injections can have reactions and rarely severe allergy reactions

SO EASY AND MY ALLERGIES ARE GONE
SO EASY and my allergies are GONE! I am soo happy because this time last year I was miserable! They were so responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend and worth every penny. My results really have been life changing. I went from waking up with a swollen face due to environmental allergies to having zero symptoms from the same triggers. We bought a cabin in northern AZ and my allergies were AWFUL every time we went- we actually considered selling it because I couldn't enjoy my time up there! Now I go and don't even have to think about it, no allergy symptoms. YES!
