Introduction

If weekly allergy shots don’t fit your LA life, consider doctor-led, at-home sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) from Wyndly. SLIT retrains the immune system to ignore environmental allergens (pollen, dust mites, pets, mold) and delivers shot‑level results without clinic visits or needles. Clinical reviews and specialty guidelines support SLIT’s safety and effectiveness for long‑term relief. Clinical evidence and guidelines, shots vs SLIT.

Why Los Angeles needs a convenient alternative

• LA’s outdoor allergy season typically runs late January to early November; worst months are March/April (trees), May (grasses), and August/September (weeds). Coastal weather moderates counts, but long seasons still drive symptoms. California allergy season.

• Tree and plant mix commonly affecting SoCal residents: oak, olive, sycamore/maple, cypress/juniper; grasses (Bermuda, rye, orchard, timothy); weeds (ragweed in some areas, sagebrush, pigweed). California overview, tree/grass/weed guides.

• Allergies are widespread: roughly 31.8% of U.S. adults report “any allergy,” and 25.7% report seasonal allergies. CDC FastStats. Professional societies estimate >100M U.S. residents with allergy-related conditions. ACAAI facts.

How Wyndly works for Angelenos

Unlimited 24/7 doctor access follows. Schedule online. 3) Receive treatment to your door every 12 weeks.
