Ever wonder why you sneeze around cats, break out in hives after eating shrimp, or struggle with seasonal congestion? Pinpointing the exact cause of your allergies is the first step towards finding relief. At Allergy and Asthma Center of Las Vegas, we use cutting-edge diagnostic testing to uncover your unique allergy triggers, empowering you to take control of your health.

Understanding the Importance of Allergy Testing:

Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances, called allergens. Knowing your specific allergens is crucial for developing an effective management plan. Guesswork can lead to unnecessary restrictions or ineffective treatments.

Types of Allergy Testing We Offer:

• Allergy Skin Testing: This common and efficient method involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to your skin. We offer skin testing for environmental, food, insect venom, and drug allergies. Intradermal testing, where a tiny amount of allergen is injected just under the skin, may be recommended for a more detailed diagnosis.
• Allergy Blood Testing: For those who prefer a blood test or when skin testing isn’t suitable, we offer comprehensive allergy blood tests. A single blood draw can screen for numerous allergens, including environmental, food, insect venom, and drug sensitivities.
• Food and Drug Challenges: In some cases, a controlled food or drug challenge may be necessary to confirm a diagnosis. This involves gradually introducing suspected allergens under strict medical supervision in our clinic.
• Patch Testing: For chemical contact allergies, we use patch testing, which involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to your skin using adhesive patches.
