Dr. Claire Sheeran is a medical doctor who is passionate about helping people, especially those with sensitive skin, achieve healthy, radiant skin. Her passion stems from a long personal history of sensitive skin including severe eczema during childhood, acne and easily reactive skin through adulthood. Dr. Claire felt there was a gap between the beauty and skincare fields as the treatment plans she was provided with often only lasted as long as the medication. Furthermore, the majority of the advice on skincare and makeup was simply not suited to those with truly sensitive or reactive skin. Frustrated by this she sought out other means of achieving healthy skin and she discovered that for herself, the only method of achieving long term healthy skin was to treat it through a holistic way and with gentle care. Her treatment plan will include a focus on diet, skincare, topical treatments and if needed temporary oral treatments. The long-term goal is to achieve healthy skin independent of medical therapy.

Some of the common foods that people have an IgE-mediated reaction to are things like nuts, milk and eggs. It is recommended that IgE food allergy testing in Melbourne is only performed for infants greater than 18 months of age.
ImmunoCAP ISAC is a highly advanced tool for revealing the patient’s IgE antibody profile. It is the result of a combination of innovative biochip technology and research in molecular allergology. From an allergen source, single allergen components can be produced. Sensitization to these components is then measured individually, helping to pinpoint on an exact molecular level which component the patient is sensitized to. This information provides the basis for a refined diagnosis of the allergy.
gG (immunoglobulin G) food intolerance testing in Melbourne is a useful guide for practitioners to structure an elimination diet for many chronic health conditions.

The IgG food intolerance allergy testing in Melbourne offers a useful tool for detecting the foods causing this response. The results are patient specific and provide an easy, precise and effective starting point for dietary manipulation. When doing an IgG food intolerance allergy test, it is recommended to eat a large variety of foods in the 1 week prior to testing. Include as many of the foods that are being tested in the specific allergy panel you have chosen. Be aware that if foods are not included in the diet during this time, false negative results may be obtained as recent exposure to these foods may be required for antibodies to be present in the blood.
