Uncover allergy triggers with patch testing

Learn about patch testing

Patch testing is a gentle and precise method to uncover the root causes of your skin reactions, such as contact dermatitis. By identifying the specific substances your skin is sensitive to, we can help you avoid them and find relief.

Why patch testing matters

It reveals sensitivities to a variety of everyday substances, including:

• Cosmetics
• Fragrances
• Metals
• Household cleaning agents

The patch testing process

Here’s how the process works:

Gentle Application
Small patches with allergens are applied to your back and secured using hypoallergenic tape.

Comfortable Duration
The patches stay on for about 48 hours. During this time, keep the area dry and avoid activities that cause sweating.

Thoughtful Observation
After 48 hours, the patches are removed, and our specialists examine your skin for reactions like redness, swelling, or itching.

Personalized Results
Within a week, we’ll explain your results and discuss a personalized plan to manage your condition.
