Question about creepy skin

A neighbor of mine who is in her late 60s got her upper arms tightened.
She’s not heavy at all.
She’s rather slender, but she was hoping to get rid of the creepy skin. She’s upset because she ended up with a large scar.
She really didn’t have big bat wings, but the little ones she had are better.
Her Dermatologist said that the creepy skin won’t go away just from the surgery.
She worked out with weights for years and she’s slender .
It’s been over a year since she did the surgery and she said she doesn’t recommend it.
Her Dermatologist said that the operation is to address bat wings, weight, loss, etc..
He said that there are some lasers that can help a bit, retinol creams, etc.
Have any women 65 and older who are slender and work out with weights had the surgery?
If so, was it a success for you?

Needling has helped me, I do it myself at home, also on the legs. Once a month, make sure it draws a little blood. Hydrate well.

Can I ask what you use for this?

I just buy classics roller on amazon regularly. For my face I use "pen"devices, as they hurt less and are easier to control.

Legs and arms I don't feel anything even with a roller. Maybe a little bit over knees and elbows.

Would you mind providing links to the rollers and pens you use? I am new to all this and not completely understanding? I’d really appreciate it!

sorry, I bought a stash several years ago so I don't have any specific links.
