Hay fever, house dust, pet dander, foods—allergies can now be reliably identified and treated effectively. We perform the appropriate tests and work with you to find the right treatment.
When do patients come to see us?
These are the symptoms we most commonly evaluate at our clinic:
Hay fever and seasonal symptoms
Sneezing, itchy eyes, and a stuffy nose in the spring or summer—we test for common pollen allergens and develop a treatment plan.
Year-round symptoms
Dust mites, mold, pet dander. Symptoms often appear at night or in the morning, and the runny nose becomes chronic—targeted testing provides clarity.
Suspected food allergy
A tingling sensation in the mouth, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort after eating certain foods. We distinguish between allergies and food intolerances.
Asthma Prevention for People with Allergies
Untreated hay fever can lead to allergic asthma ("step-up"). Specific immunotherapy significantly reduces this risk.
Here's how the examination works at our clinic
A structured process from the initial consultation to a concrete treatment plan—you’ll always know what comes next.
Medical history with allergy diary
We’ll go through your symptoms in chronological order—triggers, time of day, season, and lifestyle factors. This will help us determine which allergens to test for.
Skin test (prick test)
We apply small drops of allergen extracts to the inner side of the forearm and lightly prick the skin. After 15–20 minutes, the reaction becomes immediately visible.
Blood test (specific IgE)
As a supplement to or alternative for the prick test—recommended when skin testing is not feasible, for pregnant women, or to distinguish between cross-reacting allergens.
Treatment Plan
We will discuss preventive measures with you, as well as appropriate antihistamines or nasal sprays, and whether specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization) is a good option for you.
Diagnostics and Methods
- Skin prick testStandard skin diagnostic procedure — fast, reliable, and capable of testing over 20 allergens in a single session.
- Specific IgE in the bloodLaboratory testing for antibodies against specific allergens — important in cases where skin testing is contraindicated or the results are inconclusive.
- Nasal provocation testingDirect exposure of the nasal mucosa to the suspected allergen under direct observation—the gold standard for confirming clinical relevance.
- Specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization)Cause-specific therapy for confirmed allergies — administered subcutaneously (SCIT) or sublingually (SLIT) over a period of 3 years.
