Allergies

Are you tired of dealing with the constant discomfort and uncertainty of allergic reactions? Over-the-counter medications may offer temporary relief, but they don’t solve the real problem. To truly take control of your allergies, it’s essential to move beyond symptom management and address the root cause. At Baz Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center, our comprehensive allergy testing methods are designed to pinpoint your exact triggers, giving you the knowledge you need to find lasting relief.

What is Skin Testing?

Skin testing is one of the most effective ways to identify allergens. This method involves exposing your skin to small amounts of common allergens and carefully monitoring your body’s reaction. By observing these responses, we can accurately determine which substances are causing your allergies.

  • The process is quick and highly effective, typically taking just 15 to 20 minutes to yield results.
  • A single session can identify a broad range of allergens, from pollen and pet dander to mold and dust mites.
  • Once we know your specific triggers, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to help you avoid and manage your symptoms more effectively.

What is Blood Testing?

Blood testing offers a highly detailed look at how your immune system responds to allergens. This method analyzes specific antibodies in your bloodstream that are linked to allergic reactions.

  • Blood testing is ideal for individuals who have skin conditions that could interfere with traditional skin testing.
  • It can detect a wider variety of allergens, including some that may not show up on skin tests.
  • It just involves a simple blood draw, making it a great option for those looking for a less invasive approach.

Beyond just identifying allergens, blood testing provides valuable quantitative data about the severity of your body’s reaction. This information helps us tailor a more precise and targeted treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
