Does microneedling for acne scars require as much routine maintenance as it does for for fine lines, wrinkles, etc?

Asked By:cristinewoo12 in New York, NY

I'm interested in microneedling for acne scars around my tzone, cheeks, and mainly my nose. Planning to start off with 4 sessions. I'm not sure how much maintenance would be needed after my initial sessions--will the scars come back if i stop sessions because I thought I was initially happy with result?
