Will the hyaluronic acid injections (5 months post-op) affect a CO2 Laser treatment's effectiveness?

LMC1287
I had a consultation for acne scarring and the Doctor wants to do ablative CO2 laser. He said my scarring is clinically considered “mild”. I’ve had hyaluronic acid injections in my scars about 5 months ago and my concern is that he will not be able to see my actual scar depth so the laser will not go deep enough because the injections are making them appear less severe. Will the injections affect my outcome?
