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

cristinewoo12
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?
