Did you know that approximately 20-30% of people in Vancouver and across British Columbia suffer from environmental allergies? If you find yourself battling sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, or fatigue, you’re not alone—and your symptoms may be getting worse.

 

Why Allergy Seasons Are Worsening?

Across Canada, allergy seasons are becoming longer and more intense. Climate change is leading to increased pollen production and prolonged exposure to allergens like grass, tree pollen, and molds. If you’re noticing that your symptoms seem to start earlier in the spring or last well into the fall, you’re experiencing a trend that’s affecting millions of Canadians.

Are Allergies Impacting Your Life?

 

Do you ever experience:

• Sneezing fits that seem to come out of nowhere?

• Watery or itchy eyes that make it hard to focus?

• Itchy skin after being around pets or in the forest?

• Congestion that leaves you feeling groggy and tired?

• Coughing or wheezing after being outdoors?

​

If these symptoms sound familiar, we can help you figure out the root of the problem. Our clinic now offers skin scratch allergy testing, a gold-standard method for identifying common environmental allergens. This quick and reliable test can determine if allergens like pollen, mold, or pet dander are triggering your symptoms.

Allergy Treatment: Personalized Relief with SLIT Therapy

​

Once we identify your triggers, we can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. One of the most effective options we offer is Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT).

SLIT therapy involves placing small doses of an allergen under your tongue every day. Over time, this helps your immune system get used to the allergen and react less to it.

Unlike allergy shots, SLIT is:

• Needle-free and easy to use at home.

• Highly effective for reducing or eliminating allergy symptoms.

• Well-tolerated with a low risk of side effects.

 

Clinical studies show that SLIT can significantly reduce the severity of allergies and improve your quality of life. It can be suitable for both adults and children, offering long-lasting relief from environmental allergies.
