Hay Fever
Injection
One treatment. All season relief.
If antihistamines and nasal sprays aren’t giving you the relief you need, the hay fever injection could be the answer. A single, professionally administered corticosteroid injection that works to suppress your allergy symptoms for the entire pollen season.
The hay fever injection can suppress allergy symptoms from the very first week of pollen season right through to early autumn.
What is the hay fever injection?
The hay fever injection is a corticosteroid administered as a single intramuscular injection. It works by gently suppressing your immune system’s overreaction to pollen, dramatically reducing the inflammation that causes hay fever symptoms.
Unlike daily antihistamines or nasal sprays, a single injection can provide relief throughout the entire pollen season — from late March all the way through to September — with no daily medication to remember.
At Raquel Aesthetics, every hay fever injection appointment begins with a thorough medical consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Active Ingredient
Long-acting corticosteroid that reduces immune-mediated inflammation associated with pollen allergy.
How It's Administered
A single intramuscular injection, typically into the buttock. The procedure takes only a few minutes after your consultation is complete.
When to Have It
Ideally before the pollen season begins (late February to March), but it can be given at any point during the season.
Duration of Effect
Most patients experience symptom relief for 6 to 12 weeks, covering the peak of the UK pollen season from May to July.
Does this sound familiar?
Hay fever affects up to 1 in 4 people in the UK. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms during pollen season, the hay fever injection may provide the relief you’ve been looking for.

The Injection

Enjoy the Season
Within days, many patients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms. Relief typically lasts throughout the pollen season, so you can get on with enjoying summer.
