Biologic therapies are advanced treatments designed for patients with moderate-to-severe allergic or inflammatory conditions that are not well controlled with standard medications. Unlike traditional treatments that manage symptoms, biologics target the underlying immune pathways responsible for inflammation in conditions such as asthma, eczema, chronic hives, and nasal polyps.
Biologic therapies work by blocking specific immune signals that drive inflammation. Treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and, when needed, bloodwork to identify the type of inflammation involved.
Biologics are given as small injections under the skin, usually every 2 to 4 weeks. The first dose is administered in the clinic for safety and education. Many patients are later able to self-administer injections at home. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor response and adjust care as needed.
Each medication is selected based on your specific condition and immune profile.
Biologics are not first-line treatments, but they are an effective option when other therapies have not provided adequate control.
Biologic therapies address the root cause of inflammation rather than suppressing the entire immune system. Benefits may include:
Many patients begin noticing improvement within weeks, with continued progress over several months.
If asthma, eczema, or chronic hives continue to limit your daily life despite standard treatments, biologic therapy may offer a new path forward. An evaluation can help determine whether this targeted approach is right for your condition.
