At Private Medical Clinic, we understand the impact of allergies on your quality of life. From seasonal allergies to food sensitivities, allergies come in various forms and can affect people of all ages. Allergy testing is made easier with our innovative Alex 2 allergy tests available at our clinic, along with treatment options you need to find relief.
Allergies are the immune system's responses to substances that are typically harmless to most people. When someone with allergies comes into contact with these substances, known as allergens, their immune system reacts, leading to a range of symptoms.
Allergies can be triggered by a wide range of substances, including pollen, dust mites, pets, certain foods, insect stings, and medications. While genetics play a significant role in predisposing individuals to allergies, environmental factors and lifestyle choices can also influence the development of allergic reactions.
Symptoms of allergies vary depending on the type of allergen and the individual's immune response. Common allergy symptoms may include:
At Private Medical Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art Alex 2 allergy tests to help identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms. These tests involve a simple blood draw, which is then analysed to detect antibodies produced by your immune system in response to allergens. The Alex 2 tests provide comprehensive results, testing for up to 300 allergens, allowing us to pinpoint your specific allergens with accuracy and precision.
Once your allergens have been identified through allergy testing, our experienced medical team can work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan. Treatment options for allergies may include:
