Microneedling..no peeling. Is that a good thing?

tosbor1
I have had two microneedling sessions for acne scarring with a registered practitioner. My face was very red after each session and I used CU3 Vaseline for the first few days. In my research into this procedure everyone seems to refer to the skin peeling after a few days and their noticing positive results. My skin has not peeled at all and I can see no improvement in my acne scarring, even for those scars that are moderately shallow. Is this because of the lack of peeling? Your thoughts please
