2 months later (3 sessions)
Hi all ! I know many have been asking of an update. I had my last microneedling in late May. I have had 3 so far...
I'm honestly not sure if I'm getting results or good enough results. I've included a bunch of pics in various lighting. It's hard for me to really see improvement because lighting can really make the skin look super smooth or NOT! A friend mentioned she noticed some difference, but then again we were in good lighting....
These pics were all taken today and obviously wearing makeup.
Since it's summer now and I'm out in the sun a lot, I'll hold off till September for my 4th session. As I have mentioned before I was told I need at least 4 session. my skin has been freckling easily

3rd Microneedling Session
Today I had my 3rd session and stayed at 1.0mm needle length. I asked my aesthetician to focus more of my forehead and temples, since those are the deeper wider scars. She started the session off w/facial cleansing, followed by an enzyme mask to clear my pore, which I realized I really need before doing microneedling. The last time I has a different aesthetician and she did not do an enzyme mask, which may or may not have contributed to my breakout a week after my 2nd microneedling.
(I see a small difference in my scars on forehead and temples. I also had a very new scar depression on my chin before my 2nd session and it filled in now due to the microneedling. I think new scars, especially rolling scars, respond very well to this. )
After the microneedling, she put a biocellulose restorative stem cell masque to calm my skin. This was amazing! So much of the redness & pinprick scabs went away. My face was no where nearly as red as my previous sessions. Will update my progress on scar improvement!

8 weeks later...
Hi Everyone! I know many of you have asked for an update... so here goes.
My scars are not gone, some scars are improved and a little filled in, but still very much there. I dont see dramatic changes, but I'm content with the small changes I see so far... 3 times is the minimum recommended amount of treatments for acne scars. Unfortunately I had a really bad cystic pimple on my forehead a couple weeks after my last treatment and it left a new or deeper scar my forehead. Hopefully that fills up with my next treatment.
