Do you want to accurately identify the underlying causes of your allergic reactions? We will help you to better manage your symptoms.
Understanding Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust, or certain foods. You end up experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, hives, and difficulty breathing.
Identify the specific allergens to better manage your symptoms.
Our Allergy Testing Approach
Our diagnostic methods will pinpoint the triggers of your allergic reactions. We offer:
Skin Prick Tests
Here, we introduce small amounts of suspected allergens directly onto your skin. This method allows for the rapid identification of IgE-mediated allergies, such as those to pollen, pet dander, or certain foods.
Blood Tests
In addition to skin prick tests, we also offer blood tests to detect the presence of specific IgE antibodies, indicating allergies. These tests are useful for patients who cannot undergo skin prick testing.
Personalised Allergy Management
Once the specific allergens have been identified through testing, our doctors will develop a personalised allergy management plan. This may include:
- Recommendation of avoidance strategies.
- Prescription of appropriate medications.
- Consider immunotherapy (allergy shots) to desensitise your immune system and provide long-term relief.
