The scars are between 12 and 20 months old. Red marks, boxcar scars and icepicks. I own a 2 mm dermaroller and 1.5 mm dermastamp bought from Owndoc.
Is my skin ready to be treated with those? I've used 1 mm dermaroller before but with little to no improvement.
Photos below. Due to the quality of the photos, light settings etc. the scars look shallower than they really are.

Firstly, I wouldn't say your scars are severe. Once you get the acne and red marks under control, I'd say your skin will look pretty good. I don't think you should use dermarollers/stamps until your acne has completely cleared up. Otherwise you risk getting more scars from the treatment itself.
I have taken new pictures that better show the depth of the scars on the right cheek. http://imgur.com/a/sJqjF
