I am 40yrs old, I have had 2 microneedling (pen) sessions, 6 weeks apart for tackling fine lines, collagen production, general colour/texture and a scar (not acne). My health care professional can't book me in again for 8 weeks. Is that too long to wait for it to be optimally effective? Should I bother with 3rd session?

Answer: ...keep going! Microneedling with a skin pen type device or the more robust approach using a radio-frequency (aka an energy source) combined with a micorneedling device is one of the easiest and most "bang for your buck" skin maintenance treatments available. A series of microneedling treatments is the best way to stimulate the body's ability to tighten and stimulate the growth of new skin structures. The treatments can be done as soon as 4 weeks apart and no matter when you choose to do them, it will benefit your skin's health and slow the aging process. After the initial series and maintenance of 2 times a year is recommended depending on the level of wrinkles, scars or skin thinning that is being addressed. Microneedling creates micro-damage at different depths of the skin layers, including and beyond the epidermis. The physiological effect is that the controlled injury signals your body to begin a wound repair cycle and thus activating collagen growth along with other supporting structures. In the long run, this provides reinforced or new skin structure support that stimulates skin healing and results improvement of skin quality, texture, reduction of damaged skin and tightening. Microneedling can be enhanced with regular skin peels (addressing turn over of the outer layer of skin and fine wrinkles) and medical grade stem cell skin products. If done regularly, the overall effect slow the skin's aging process.
