Doctor strongly suggested allergy test for Restylane prior to my injections. Was I ripped off?

Asked By:Labythec

I went to a certified dermatologist today who informed me that, while rare, it is best if I have an allergy test for Restylane and then wait one week before getting the procedure. She injected a small amount in my arm (it cost ~$40). After leaving, I remembered that I read about how safe Hyaluronic acid is because it's natural in our bodies. Was I just ripped off? If I was, then I will take my business elsewhere.
