Concerned about allergies but prefer a blood test? At Allergy Vegas, we offer a convenient and accurate alternative to skin testing with our allergy blood tests. These tests can identify a wide range of allergens, providing valuable insights into your sensitivities. Serving the Las Vegas community, we’re dedicated to helping you find relief from your allergy symptoms.

Our allergy blood testing covers a comprehensive panel of common allergens, including:

  • Environmental Allergens: Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds), dust mites, mold, pet dander (cats, dogs), and more.
  • Food Allergens: Milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, shellfish, and other common food sensitivities.
  • Insect Venom: Bee, wasp, hornet, and other stinging insect allergies.
  • Drug Allergies: Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and other medications.

Allergy blood tests are a simple and effective way to identify your triggers. A single blood draw can provide information about multiple allergens, making it a convenient option for many patients. Our experienced team will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. While skin testing is often preferred, blood testing may be a good option when skin conditions are present or if specific medications are being taken.

Are you tired of battling allergies in the Las Vegas Valley? Do itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion, or skin rashes make your life miserable? At Allergy Vegas, we offer comprehensive allergy skin testing to pinpoint the specific substances causing your allergic reactions. Knowing your triggers is the first step toward effective allergy management and relief.

We test for a wide range of common allergens, including:

  • Environmental Allergens: Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds), dust mites, mold, pet dander (cats, dogs), and more.
  • Food Allergens: Milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, shellfish, and other common food sensitivities.
  • Insect Venom: Bee, wasp, hornet, and other stinging insect allergies.
  • Drug Allergies: Penicillin, sulfa drugs, and other medications.

Our experienced allergists use the latest allergy skin testing methods to ensure accurate results. During your appointment, we’ll apply small amounts of potential allergens to your skin, typically on your back or forearm. We may also suggest intradermal testing, where a tiny amount of allergen is injected just under the skin, for a more complete diagnosis. This comprehensive approach allows us to identify even subtle sensitivities and create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Managing asthma or other respiratory conditions can be challenging. At Allergy Vegas, we offer Aluna, a revolutionary home lung function monitoring system that empowers you to take control of your respiratory health. Serving the Las Vegas community, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions for effective allergy and asthma management.

Aluna is a smart, portable device that allows you to easily track your lung function from the comfort of your own home.

Suspect you have a food or drug allergy but unsure of the specific trigger? At Allergy Vegas, we offer controlled food and drug challenge testing in a safe and monitored environment. Serving the Las Vegas community, we’re dedicated to accurately identifying your sensitivities so you can make informed choices about your health.

Food and drug challenge testing involves gradually introducing suspected allergens under strict medical supervision. This allows our allergists to observe your body’s reactions and definitively diagnose any sensitivities. This type of testing is considered the “gold standard” for diagnosing food and drug allergies.

What to Expect During a Food or Drug Challenge:

  • Careful Monitoring: Your vital signs will be closely monitored throughout the challenge to ensure your safety.
  • Gradual Introduction: The suspected allergen will be introduced in small, increasing doses.
  • Observation & Documentation: Our allergists will carefully observe any reactions you may experience.
  • Personalized Guidance: Based on the results, we’ll provide personalized recommendations for managing your allergies and avoiding future reactions.

Food and drug challenges are typically recommended when other testing methods, such as skin or blood tests, are inconclusive or when a clear diagnosis is needed. This type of testing is particularly useful for diagnosing food allergies, medication allergies, and other complex sensitivities.

Your safety is our top priority. All food and drug challenges are conducted in a controlled medical setting with experienced allergists present. We’ll guide you through the process, answer your questions, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure.

Do you experience skin rashes, itching, or irritation after contact with certain substances? You may have a contact allergy; at Allergy Vegas, we offer patch testing to identify the specific chemicals causing your allergic reactions. Serving the Las Vegas community, we’re dedicated to helping you find relief from contact dermatitis and other skin conditions.

Patch testing is a safe and effective method for diagnosing contact allergies. During a patch test, small amounts of various potential allergens are applied to your skin using adhesive patches. These patches remain in place for a specific period, typically 48 hours. You’ll then return to our office, and our allergist will examine your skin for any reactions.

What to Expect During Patch Testing:

  • Application of Patches: Small amounts of suspected allergens are applied to your skin using adhesive patches.
  • Wearing the Patches: You’ll wear the patches for 48 hours, avoiding wetting or excessive sweating in the area.
  • Follow-Up Appointment: You’ll return to our office for the removal of the patches and examination of your skin.
  • Identification of Allergens: Our allergist will carefully assess your skin for any reactions, identifying the specific chemicals causing your contact allergy.

Patch testing is particularly useful for diagnosing contact dermatitis, eczema, and other skin conditions caused by contact with chemicals found in:

  • Cosmetics & Personal Care Products: Fragrances, dyes, preservatives, and other ingredients.
  • Metals: Nickel, cobalt, and other metals commonly found in jewelry, belt buckles, and other items.
  • Workplace Chemicals: Various chemicals used in different industries.
  • Household Products: Cleaners, detergents, and other household items.

Identifying your contact allergens is crucial for managing your symptoms and preventing future reactions. Our team at Allergy Vegas will provide you with personalized recommendations for avoiding your triggers and managing your skin health.

Concerned about your lung health? At Allergy Vegas, we offer comprehensive pulmonary function testing (PFT), including spirometry and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) testing, to assess your lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Serving the Las Vegas community, we’re dedicated to providing accurate diagnostic services for optimal respiratory health.

Pulmonary function tests are essential for evaluating how well your lungs are working. Spirometry measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, as well as how quickly you can exhale. FeNO testing measures the level of nitric oxide in your exhaled breath, which can be an indicator of airway inflammation, often seen in asthma.

What to Expect During Pulmonary Function Testing:

  • Spirometry: You’ll breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer, which measures your lung volume and airflow.
  • FeNO Testing: You’ll breathe steadily into a device that measures the level of nitric oxide in your exhaled breath.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: Our experienced team will analyze your PFT results to assess your lung function and identify any potential respiratory issues.

Pulmonary function testing is valuable in diagnosing and managing a range of respiratory conditions, including:

  • Asthma: PFTs can help diagnose asthma, assess its severity, and monitor its response to treatment.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): PFTs are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring COPD, a progressive lung disease.
  • Other Respiratory Conditions: PFTs can also be helpful in evaluating other lung conditions, such as bronchitis, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Our team at Allergy Vegas is committed to providing accurate and comprehensive pulmonary function testing to help you maintain optimal respiratory health. The results of your PFTs will help your allergist develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
