Would microneedling help minimize the appearance of pitted acne scars on the cheeks? (photos)

AlinaK.
Im left with pitted scars which are espacially visible when smiling or moving the face. I want to find a way to regain my full cheeks without indentations (or as minimal as possible). Still have active acne but I plan to get to the scar treatment as soon as my skin clears. Im thankful for any tips, wether microneedling will help me effectively, because my scars seem tethered.
