Prior to your allergy skin testing, it's important to avoid antihistamines for a specified period, as they can interfere with the accuracy of the test results. Our staff will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for your testing appointment.

There are two types of allergy skin testing:

  • Prick testing: a small amount of the suspected allergen is pricked into the skin, and the skin is observed for a reaction. 
  • Intradermal testing: involves injecting a small amount of the allergen under the skin and observing the reaction. Our allergy skin testing services are also a quick and effective way to identify the specific allergens that are causing your symptoms.

Our experienced allergists will determine which testing method is best for you based on your symptoms and medical history. By pinpointing these allergens, we can create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you. Whether it's medication, immunotherapy, or lifestyle changes, we'll work with you to develop a plan that helps you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
