Allergy Testing

Our Jenkintown allergy skin testing methods will accurately determine what allergens cause your allergy symptoms. No needles are used to test for allergens, such as grasses, trees, weeds, mold, dust mites and foods. After applying a drop of allergen to a plastic applicator, we brush the applicator tip on your skin – usually your back. After 20 minutes, your results are documented and lotion is applied to your skin to alleviate any itching. Infants, children and adults can be comfortably and reliably tested.
