If you’re struggling with chronic nasal congestion, sneezing, postnasal drip, or sinus pressure, environmental allergies may be the root cause. Allergy skin testing is a safe, accurate, and fast way to identify the specific allergens triggering your symptoms — including pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, and more.
At Atkins Sinus in Montreal, we offer in-office allergy skin testing as part of our comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating chronic sinus and respiratory conditions.
Many people live with year-round “cold-like” symptoms, not realizing they’re caused by allergic rhinitis or environmental allergies. Identifying your triggers is the first step toward lasting relief.
Allergy Testing Can Help If You Have:
If your symptoms are seasonal or flare up in certain environments (like around pets or after cleaning), allergy testing can offer clarity and direction.
Skin testing is quick and virtually painless, typically completed within 20–30 minutes during your visit.
What to Expect During Your Appointment:
1. A panel of common allergens (like tree pollen, mold, dust mites, and pet dander) is placed on your forearm or back.
2. A small “prick” is made to allow the allergen to contact your skin.
3. If you’re allergic to a substance, a small raised bump (like a mosquito bite) will appear at the site within 15–20 minutes.
4. Our specialists will review your results and explain your unique allergy profile.
Testing is supervised by our experienced ENT team to ensure accuracy and safety.
Once we know your specific triggers, we can create a personalized treatment plan.
Post-Test Treatment Options May Include:
At Atkins Sinus, we don’t just test — we help you build a roadmap to lasting symptom relief.
Our clinic uses clinically validated allergen panels and follows best practices to ensure both accuracy and comfort during your test. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after testing.
