Can Restylane Injections Make Acne Scars on the Cheeks Look Deeper?

jmann2328
i have acne scars on my cheeks and had restalane injected into them. i dont think the nurse did this too often in acne scars. at first i couldnt really tell but after about 3 weeks my scars now look deeper. could this be due to me not having subcisions done prior and maybe the filler filled areas around my scars to make them look deeper. i can def feel a diference when i rub my finger over my scars. before when i did this it did not feel like i had scars. will they go back to normal after some time?
