What To Expect
Allergy & Intolerance Testing
Allergy and intolerance testing helps explore potential triggers that may be affecting your skin, digestion, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. At Fiji Skin Clinic we offer simple at-home or in-clinic finger-prick blood tests that analyse your body’s response to specific foods and environmental allergens.
Premium Food Intolerance Test (IgG) identifies delayed reactions to over 200 foods and drinks, which may contribute to symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, headaches, acne, eczema, or inflammation.
Food & Environmental Allergy Test (IgE) identifies immediate immune responses to common allergens such as dairy, nuts, pollen, or dust mites.
Your results provide clear guidance on potential triggers, helping guide informed decisions around your diet and environment so you can support healthier skin and improved wellbeing.
A food intolerance is usually a delayed reaction caused by difficulty digesting certain foods. Symptoms may appear hours or even days later and often include bloating, fatigue, headaches, or skin flare-ups.
A food allergy involves the immune system and can trigger immediate reactions such as itching, swelling, hives, or breathing difficulties. Identifying the difference is important for managing symptoms safely.
Some people notice that certain foods may contribute to skin flare-ups such as acne, eczema, redness, or inflammation. While skin conditions can have many different causes, food intolerances or allergies may sometimes play a role in triggering or worsening symptoms for certain individuals.
Food intolerance testing can help identify potential sensitivities that may be worth exploring further, allowing you to make more informed choices around your diet, skin health, and overall wellbeing.
Many people live with ongoing symptoms without realising certain foods or environmental triggers may be contributing. Allergy and intolerance testing can help investigate issues such as:
Persistent bloating, wind or digestive discomfort
Acne, eczema, psoriasis or unexplained skin flare-ups
Fatigue, brain fog or low energy
Headaches or migraines
Joint discomfort or inflammation
While these symptoms can have many causes, identifying potential triggers can be an important step toward improving both skin health and overall wellbeing.
A small blood sample is collected using a simple finger-prick test. The sample is then analysed in a specialist York laboratory to measure immune responses linked to allergies (IgE) or intolerances (IgG). Results are presented in a clear report that highlights possible triggers.
Yes. Our tests can be completed in clinic at Fiji Skin Clinic in Sutton Coldfield or posted to your home with easy instructions and free return postage.
Results are typically available within 7–10 working days once the laboratory receives your sample. Your report will clearly highlight foods or allergens that may be contributing to symptoms so you can take informed next steps.

Concerns this treats
Inflammatory acne & redness
This client came to us with severe active acne, intense inflammation, and persistent redness that was affecting both the appearance and comfort of her skin. When acne reaches this level of inflammation, the focus is not just clearing breakouts, it’s calming the skin safely, protecting the barrier, and reducing the risk of long-term scarring and pigmentation.
Over time, the skin became visibly calmer, clearer, and more balanced, with a significant reduction in active acne and redness.
Stubborn stomach fat & loose skin
This client came to us feeling frustrated with loose skin and stubborn fat around the stomach area that no longer felt reflective of how she wanted to feel in her body. Her goal was not extreme change, but to feel firmer and more confident in fitted clothing again.
The result is a stomach area that looks visibly tighter, more sculpted, and more toned, with noticeable improvement in both skin laxity and contour.
Acne, inflammation & scarring
This client came to us with persistent active acne, inflammation, and post-acne scarring affecting the clarity and texture of his skin. It was important to take a careful approach that reduced inflammation without triggering unnecessary pigmentation or irritation.
The result is skin that looks visibly calmer, clearer, and more even, with a noticeable improvement in both active acne and the scarring left behind.
Acne & ongoing breakouts
This client came to us wanting to get on top of persistent acne that was affecting the overall clarity and balance of her skin. Rather than overloading the skin with aggressive treatments, we focused on rebuilding consistency through the right homecare, internal support, and professional skin maintenance.
Over the following 5 months, her skin became visibly clearer, calmer, and more balanced, with a noticeable reduction in active breakouts and inflammation.
