Darkened Skin After Restylane?

anda
i had restylane injected under my eye area 7 months ago.the results are still pleasing;however, after all this time i still have two bean shaped brown spots on my cheekbones right where the needle entered,only concealer covers them. i used arnica gel right after the procedure and for the first 5 days when i was swollen, so i'm wondering if that might have caused it? i'm planning on getting the procedure redone soon, but scared of the skin darkening.was it the arnica?how can i get rid of them?
