Is scarring at the injection site common?

August 6, 2014
Asked By:Margoallison in Saint Charles, MO

I got restalyne 8 months ago and it now looks as though I have acne scars at the same exact spots they did the injections. Is this common as it wears off? They seem to be getting worse as the weeks go by. I also am pregnant, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
