Allergy testing is a crucial diagnostic process used to identify the specific substances, known as allergens, that trigger an allergic reaction in your body. At Modena Health in Scottsdale, we offer comprehensive allergy testing using both skin prick tests and blood tests (specific IgE testing). These tests help us pinpoint the exact triggers of your allergy symptoms, paving the way for a personalized treatment plan to improve your health and well-being.
Allergy testing is a straightforward and relatively quick procedure. Skin prick testing involves placing small drops of various allergens on your skin, usually on the forearm or back, and then gently pricking the surface of the skin to allow the allergens to enter. Reactions are typically observed after about 15-20 minutes. Blood tests involve a simple blood draw, which is then sent to a lab to measure the levels of specific IgE antibodies related to different allergens.
Allergy testing can help identify the triggers for a wide range of allergic conditions, including:
Allergy testing involves applying allergens to the skin (typically the forearm or back) to observe localized reactions, or analyzing blood samples to detect allergen-specific antibodies circulating throughout the body.
Adults and children in Scottsdale experiencing symptoms suggestive of allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, hives, breathing difficulties, or digestive issues related to specific foods, may be candidates for allergy testing at Modena Health.
Allergy testing involves minimal to no recovery time. After skin prick tests, you may experience mild, temporary redness and itching at the test sites, which usually subside within a few hours. Blood tests may result in slight bruising at the blood draw site. You can typically resume your normal activities immediately after allergy testing.
Results from skin prick tests are typically available within 15-20 minutes during your appointment. Blood test results for specific IgE antibodies usually take a few days to return from the lab. Allergy testing identifies your current sensitivities. While your allergies may evolve over time, the results provide a valuable baseline for developing a long-term management plan. Repeat testing may be recommended in the future if your symptoms change.
At Modena Health in Scottsdale, our experienced and reputable allergy specialists utilize advanced allergy testing methods, including skin prick tests and blood tests, to accurately identify your specific triggers. We take a patient-centered approach, combining test results with your medical history to create a personalized treatment plan that empowers you to effectively manage your allergies and improve your overall health.
You may need to avoid taking antihistamines for several days before your allergy test, as they can interfere with the results. Our team will provide you with specific instructions during your consultation.
Skin prick tests involve only superficial pricking of the skin and are generally well-tolerated. Blood tests involve a quick needle stick for a blood draw.
We can test for a wide range of allergens, including environmental allergens (pollen, mold, dust mites, pet dander), food allergens, insect venom, and certain medications.
The results of your allergy testing will allow our specialists to create a targeted treatment plan, which may include allergen avoidance strategies, medications, and immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops) to manage your symptoms effectively.
