Can I Scar at Restylane Injection Site?

Lena2K
I had restylane injected into my cheek over 6 weeks ago. I have 4 small dark marks that are slightly raised from where the needle entered my skin. I had a peel which did not help their appearance and I am using Finacea to help lighten the marks. Is it possible these are permanent and is there anything that would help them go away?
