May I ask that you now delete this thread if possible? Or at least remove the attachments for me?

Thank you! (:

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Dermarolling and skin tightening.

Hello, I've only recently come across this method for tightening loose skin, so I'm just trying to do some research.

My first question is about keloid scarring. My father is mixed race, his father being black south American, I've heard that black skin colour is more prone to keloid scarring. However, I have a very pale and fair complexion and my mum is white, so I don't look at all mixed race. I do have two scars, one relatively big one on my knee, which has not turned into a keloid scar (at least I don't think it has...) and one on my chest which has become a keloid scar. What are your opinions on this?

And finally, would I benefit from it? I'm a 21 year old male, I was overweight from the age of 11 to 16  (I was before losing my weight was 14st 5lbs) I then lost the weight in about 5 months (down to 10st) and I've had loose skin since then and I've kinda gone in and out of putting on weight and starving it off etc. Since March 2012 I've picked up exercising, and since October I've been exercising three times a day every day, two sessions using weights, and one session being cardio, totalling about 11 hoursish exercise a week. But I haven't really since any improvement in my skin at all.

I'll attach photos of my scars. 

Thanks! (:
