What You'll Get

---

This service is strictly for adults over the age of 18yrs Severe Allergy Response Symptoms Severe urticaria allergy response symptoms can greatly impact individuals' summers, affecting their quality of life and work performance. In certain regions of the UK, allergens such as flower and tree pollen from sources like silver birch and rapeseed are prevalent, leading to more severe symptoms.

Alternative Treatments and Our Offering If your symptoms persist despite trying other treatments like oral antihistamines or topical eye drops, you can request an appointment at our Redmayne Lodge clinic to discuss our Seasonal Injection. This is a corticosteroid injection with anti-inflammatory properties. It's designed to suppress the immune system, preventing a strong reaction to pollen. . An Advanced Nurse Practitioner will assess your suitability for the treatment, detailing its potential side effects and likely benefits.

Dosage and Effectiveness The feedback we receive is overwhelmingly positive. The injection, which is given in the top of the buttock, works almost instantly and fully 'kicks in' within one to forty-eight hours. Administered when allergy symptoms first appear, it can provide relief for the entire pollen or allergen season (usually three months). The dosage required depends on body weight, with heavier individuals needing a larger dose. The therapeutic dose for most effective relief is 1mg per kg of body weight, with standard doses ranging from 40mg-80mg per patient per season.

Our Patients' Experiences Every year, we treat patients who have found little to no relief with other medications. These include outdoor workers, business professionals, drivers, and even other healthcare professionals like pharmacists, doctors, and NHS GPs No other treatment offers greater convenience, symptom relief, and patient satisfaction than single intramuscular injection, which can provide relief for up to three months. We receive hundreds of messages each season from grateful patients who feel that they have regained their quality of life.

Costs and Consultation: The Seasonal Injection costs just £70.00 for a 40mg/1ml dose or £100.00 for an 80mg/2ml dose, with a free medical consultation at Rising Dawn Aesthetics included. For patients weighing over 60kg, an 80mg dose may be recommended. The optimal dose to alleviate symptoms is 1mg of Kenalog per 1kg of body weight. However, in the UK the NHS stopped offering Kenalog, due to concerns over possible side effects. As some people turn to private clinics, beauticians, and aestheticians for their yearly injection, it's important to be aware of the potential long-term damage this drug may cause. What are the risks of Kenalog? The treatment can cause a potentially long list of side effects, including: Raised blood pressure Headache. Dizziness. Water retention. Skin rashes. Muscle weakness. Swelling. Breathing difficulties. Abdominal pain. Insomnia. Taste disturbance. Mental health problems - such as depression and mood swings. Kenalog can also increase your susceptibility to infections, such as flu, shingles, and chickenpox. Once the steroid has been injected, nothing can be done to prevent it from spreading through the body over the following weeks, even if side effects are experienced," In addition, it is contra-indicated in some patients, such as those who have stomach ulcers, diabetes or an active infection." Repeated use of steroid medications like the hay fever jab can also lead to bone loss, osteoporosis, and broken bones. Just how high the risk is with one yearly hay fever injection is not yet fully understood. For these reasons, Kenalog is not licensed for treating hay fever in the UK. Charity Allergy UK does not endorse the injection: "The steroid injection is not recommended as it is a high-dose steroid given by an intramuscular injection and once injected, the amount of steroid cannot be removed and it comes with a high side-effect profile. Chief pharmacist Stuart Gale at Oxford Online Pharmacy adds: "Kenalog is only safe and recommended for use in a small group of people, as intramuscular steroids can exacerbate existing medical conditions. The mainstay of hayfever treatment is oral antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops."
