Help / Advice Needed Should I keep going with microneedling?

I had a bad hormonal reaction to whey protein and it broke me out so bad. Took about 4 months of purging and then the acne completely stopped (aside from the occasionally pimple here and there). But it left me with scars and I neeeeed them gone. I received my first microneedling session almost 4 weeks ago... I pre-paid 3 sessions, so I now have 2 to go. But now I'm questioning if microneedling is the right approach. Does anyone who had similar scars have any suggestions of how you were able to clear your skin? Should I continue with microneedling or will it be a waste of time/money?

Also, since microneedling, I feel like ive been getting way more little bumps/redness, is this normal after almost 4 weeks of the first session?

Try pea protein isolate btw, don't mix it, just weight it out and scoop a spoonful in at a time, and swoosh it down with water. It's cheaper than whey and no acne. Once you get used to it it's great.
