Can microneedling acne scars cause keloid/hypertrophic scarring instead?

Hi, I am looking to use a dermaroller on my face to get rid of pitted acne scars. My derma roller is 0.5mm in length. I was wondering, however, if microneedling my pitted scars - which is on the cheeks - will cause keloids or hypertrophic scarring? I'm Asian and have gotten one keloid on my leg from chicken pox when I was younger and one hypertrophic scar on my chest from acne. I have no raised scarring on my face, only pitted scars.
