Hyperpigmented Marks from Sculptra Injections

How do I get rid of hyperpigmentation caused by needle marks left by Sculptra injections around the eyes? I loved the Sculptra results except for this. Want to get it done again, but I still have slight marking from 3 years ago. I am a native American with golden brown skin. Is my skin color more prone to this markings?
