Slight reaction to Bellafill skin test and doctor said I'm not a candidate. What are risks with going through with it anyway?

mike1bello
I recently had a skin test for bellafill about a week ago. I had a slight reaction: some slight redness on my forearm that went away after about 3-4 days. My dr. Said I was not a candidate. I still want to get the bellafill for my acne scarring because I’ve read it’s the most long-term filler available for acne scarring. But I was wondering if there are any long-term risks that could happen from getting bellafill injected after having a slight reaction to the skin test, other than redness?
