As recognised leaders in allergy, our staff frequently present at medical conferences and contribute to respected publications like the Irish Medical Times and Medical Independent. We are also regularly consulted by national radio, television, and print media for our opinion.
Comprehensive Allergy Testing to aid Accurate Diagnosis
Understanding the cause of your symptoms is the first step. At our Dublin clinic, allergy testing involves a thorough consultation with one of our specialist doctors to ensure accurate interpretation and guide your management plan. Depending on your needs, testing may include:
- Skin Prick Allergy Testing: The primary method for identifying allergic sensitisation to a wide range of common inhalant and food allergens.
- Patch testing: Specifically used to diagnose triggers for Contact Dermatitis.
- Fibreoptic Video Endoscopy: Allows detailed examination of the nasal passages when necessary.
- IgE Specific Blood tests: Sometimes utilised in conjunction with skin prick allergy testing when life threatening food allergy is identified.
Allergy Treatments
Based on your diagnosis, our doctors will develop a personalised and effective medical treatment plan.
We also offer additional advanced therapeutic options:
- Allergen Desensitisation Immunotherapy: This is a proven and effective treatment option for house dust mite and pollen allergies. It involves taking a daily dose of the culprit allergen to generate long term immune tolerance.
- Rhinolight endonasal phototherapy: Rhinolight uses a specific narrow range of UV light to treat allergic and non-allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa. It is highly effective in treating the vast majority of cases of Allergic Rhinitis.
Preparing for your appointment
- Anti-histamine medications (tablets, eye drops and nose sprays) must be ceased at least 5 days prior to allergy testing.
