What to expect on allergy testing day:

Our Physicians will test you for the most common 70 environmental and 8 food allergens. The test will take about 2 minutes to apply to the back using plastic testing applicators. You will know what you are allergic to in just 15 minutes. Based on the test results, your provider will discuss your treatment plan before you leave the office.

Most frequently asked questions:

What should I expect during the test?

A clinic staff member will clean the skin testing area with an alcohol pad. When the test is applied to your skin, you will feel slight pressure from the applicator prongs. It will take approximately 2 minutes to apply to the back and the results will be ready in just 15 minutes. During this time, you will be either laying on your stomach or sitting with the testing area exposed.

How will it feel?

There is a slight pressure from the applicators and the test is designed to scratch/prick only the first layer of skin. As the test develops, you may experience a temporary or tingling sensation similar to a mosquito bite.

What happens after the test?

After the results are documented, a clinic staff member will wipe off the antigens with alcohol and any itching will start to subside. The marks from the test may remain visible for 48 hours. If necessary, you may be offered an antihistamine and/or an anti-itching cream.

How soon will I receive my results?

Your provider will review the results of the allergy test and discuss treatment options. Together you and your provider will determine the best course of treatment. For further details, please contact us or request an appointment online.
