I've started to develop what I believe to be crepey skin on my neck at 30 years old. I've lost about 20 pounds over the course of 7 months and plan to lose another 25-30. Could this be because of weight loss? Does skin have a chance of bouncing back? I've started dermarolling neck with 0.5 mm needles, but only have done this once a week for two weeks, so I'm assuming it's too early to see results. I drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and keep skin moisturized. What else can be done?
