Allergy Tests London
Effective allergy diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. Fast Medica offers comprehensive allergy tests to identify allergens causing allergic reactions. Our London clinic specializes in conducting patch and prick skin tests, enabling precise identification of allergies.
What Are Allergy Tests?
Allergy tests help identify substances that trigger allergic reactions. At Fast Medica, we perform two main types of skin tests: patch tests and prick tests. Our tests are safe and effective, providing precise results within a few days. These tests help you understand which allergens affect your body and what steps to take to minimize symptoms.
Patch Tests – Contact Allergies
Patch tests are used to diagnose contact allergies caused by chemicals, cosmetics, or everyday household products. At Fast Medica, we use modern methods to apply patches containing allergens to the skin on the patient’s back. Test results are read after 48 and 72 hours, allowing for precise identification of substances responsible for allergic reactions.

Prick Tests – Airborne and Food Allergens
Prick skin tests help diagnose allergies to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, mold, or animal dander. They can also be used to diagnose food allergies. Fast Medica ensures quick and accurate test procedures, as well as post-diagnosis support in therapy and further treatment.
