Desensitization has a history of years, and in the early years, it was mainly used for hay fever, nasal allergy, Allergic conjunctivitis / Eye Allergy , and then for eczema and other symptoms. Global desensitization was first developed by the Danish manufacturer "ALK-Abello", which began producing the first drug-manufactured allergen extract in 1923, and subsequently established standardized methods and production, and introduced new, more convenient formulations.
Be. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology has been developing desensitization treatments for more than 100 years, which are effective in long-term relief of allergy symptoms, including rhinonasitis, eye allergies, eczema, etc.
In 2013, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) published treatment guidelines highlighting allergen immunotherapy as an important allergy-management option that may help the body gradually adapt to specific allergens and reduce allergic reactions.
According to guidelines published in 2019 by the European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology, sublingual dust-mite immunotherapy may help control dust-mite-triggered allergic symptoms and is considered a second-line treatment option.
The latest generation of IgE allergy test is performed to detect 295 allergen molecules by taking 2 ml of blood, and the doctor will arrange sublingual desensitization according to the test report, which only takes 5 minutes a day, even for children from 5 or 6 years old.
