We use an advanced molecular allergy blood test that screens around 300 potential triggers from a single small blood sample, giving precise, actionable results.

It’s a modern test that measures your IgE to individual allergen molecules (components) rather than broad extracts. This helps your clinician tell true allergy from cross-reactivity, understand risk more clearly, and tailor treatment (including whether immunotherapy may help).

No. You don’t need to stop medication — the test is independent of your current health status.

No — it’s a simple blood test. Compared with traditional skin tests, molecular testing covers many more triggers and offers deeper insight.

A very broad panel: pollens (grass, tree, weed), house-dust mites, pets, moulds/yeasts, foods (grains, nuts/seeds, fruits, legumes), seafood, spices, and insect venoms — selected for clinical relevance.

Only a very small sample is required.

Allergen immunotherapy is a treatment that helps re-train your immune system to be less reactive to a specific allergen. It involves regular exposure to tiny, precisely measured doses of the allergen over time.

How it’s given: either tablets/drops under the tongue (SLIT) taken at home after the first supervised dose, or injections in clinic (SCIT) at set intervals.

Who it’s for: most often used for hay fever (pollens), house-dust mite, pet dander, and insect venom allergy. It’s not typically used for most food allergies.

Benefits: can reduce symptoms and medication use and may have long-term, disease-modifying effects after a typical 3-year course.

Safety & suitability: not everyone is a candidate; your clinician will assess you. Side-effects are usually mild; supervised care keeps the process safe.

Results guide practical avoidance advice, medication plans, and where appropriate, immunotherapy. The goal is to focus on what truly benefits you.

Undetected allergy can worsen over time (for example, respiratory allergy moving toward asthma), and some triggers (foods, insect venoms) may carry serious risk. Knowing your profile supports safer, proactive care.

We’ll meet (in person or virtually) to explain your results in plain language, answer questions, and agree clear next steps. You’ll also receive your report for easy reference.

Yes. Many allergies begin in childhood, and early, accurate detection helps prevent worsening symptoms and supports confident choices at home and school.

It’s a simple blood test that measures IgE to specific allergen molecules. This gives clearer, child-focused insight than broad extract tests, helping your clinician distinguish true allergy from cross-reactivity, gauge risk, and give safer, practical advice (including when immunotherapy may be appropriate).

No. Antihistamines and other medicines do not need to be stopped before the test.

Gently — only a tiny blood sample is needed. Our team keeps the process calm and reassuring. We recommend “magic cream” which is a numbing cream applied before the appointment to make the process pain free.

Common paediatric triggers such as dust mites, pets and pollen, and key food allergens including milk, eggs, wheat and peanuts (among others).

Allergen immunotherapy gradually helps children become less sensitive to a specific allergen through tiny, regular doses over time.

How it’s given: often as sublingual tablets/drops (SLIT) taken at home after the first supervised dose; injections (SCIT) may be used in clinic for some allergies (e.g., pollen or venom).

Who it’s for: typically hay fever (pollens), house-dust mite, pet dander, and insect venom. It’s not usually used for food allergies (which require different, specialist pathways).

Benefits: can reduce symptoms and medication needs season-to-season and may provide long-lasting protection after a standard multi-year course.

Yes. Molecular insight can indicate when some foods are better tolerated cooked/baked. We’ll translate the findings into practical guidance for home, school and social settings.

Early identification helps prevent symptom progression, reduces uncertainty around triggers, and supports timely management.

We’ll review the results with you, provide clear avoidance tips and treatment advice, and agree a personalised plan for your child. At Well life we have direct links to Paediatric allergy consultant who can consult with you and your child after the blood testing to discuss management options.
