Microdroplet Silicone Injections for Acne Scars?

I have had severe acne and I'm in my early 20's. I am getting my acne under control now but am left with many scars on side of my face and cheeks. I don't mind the discolored scars cause I know they will eventually fade but the scars that look like little dents aren't going to get better alone.

So is microdroplet silicone injections and good idea and what kind of results should I expect cause it's a pretty high price for a college student? And what other options do I have for these rolling/icepick/ boxcar scars ?
