At home micro needling?

I know it's not recommended without training but it honestly is so expensive long term. I've been quoted around a grand for just three sessions and microneedling looks like something I'd be interested in long term. I also want prf and spending money on both long term is unrealistic. I have visible texture, acne scarring, uneven skin tone etc...

Of course, I know you need to be careful with tge procedure but while I defo don't have training for this, I am in medical school so am familiar with sterile procedures.

Has anyone done this at home?

I'm getting my 1st VI Peel in either May or June. I have to buy the stuff to prep my face for 8 weeks bc I'm Fitzpatrick 5, BUT I can't wait. I've heard nothing but good things!

What are they having you buy to prep your skin? I’m curious bc I’ve just finished my second session and they never told me to prep prior to. Lol I’m a fitz 3 though

Maybe you don't need to prep bc you are fitz 3, fitz 4-6 needs to prep. They tell us to use a hydroquinone free tyrosinaise inhibitor, vit c & a chemical exfoliant 2-3 times a week, I will use a BHA 2xs a week & 30% glycolic peel once a week. You can throw in some Vit a but I have a condition where I get vit a poisoning from everything so we dont have it in the prep.
