About rf microneedling. How many days after the treatment collagen starts building and scars starts to lift up?

Microneedling will start initiating collagen remodeling and growth immediately. However, it takes 180 days for full remodeling to occur and you should start seeing scar remodeling in 3-4 months.Dr H Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member

The initial results you got was due to oedema or swelling after the procedure (this suggest that fillers can work well in your type of acne scarring). Your doctor is indeed correct, as collagen does not form over night, but takes a few weeks. Maximal at thee 3-4 month mark. If I could hint that you should use insulated needles- you want energy delivered deep into your skin where scars lie, not on the surface. All the best,
