Restylane Injections and Hyperpigmentation Everytime?

July 24, 2013

I am Asian with dark skin. I got Restylane injections for the first time about 4 weeks ago, for under eye bags. I had bruising that went away after two weeks. However, now my skin has hyperpigmentation at the injection sites. (I am diligent with sunscreen.) Is there anything that will help fade the dark patches? I am happy with the Restylane results. Is this going to happen every time I get injections? I have battled melasma in the past, so my skin color/type can be prone to this.
