Is acne scar treatment suitable for someone who is sensitive to pain?

I really can't stand pain, so I keep hesitating about getting acne scar treatment haha. When I see reviews saying it works well, I want to book an appointment right away, but if I see even a single line about it being painful, my mind wavers again.
Of course, the degree of pain felt varies from person to person, and I think there will be a significant difference depending on how it is received.
I'm wondering if anesthesia is often required when starting acne scar treatment. I can handle a slight stinging sensation, but I think I would find it difficult to endure prolonged burning or continuous pain.
Also, I am wondering if I can speak up immediately to adjust the intensity or procedure if I feel too uncomfortable during the actual treatment.
Rather than thinking I have to endure it unconditionally for the sake of results, I want to receive acne scar treatment while adjusting it to my skin and what I can tolerate.
I would like to know if the pain is often only present during the procedure and subsides quickly, or if the burning or tingling sensation persists for a few hours even after returning home.
I am wondering if the perceived pain is actually less from the second time onwards because the tension is reduced since you know what it feels like after the first time.
I'm the type who feels pain more when I'm nervous, haha, so I think I'll really prepare myself mentally for the first day.
Are there any of you who have received acne scar treatment a few times and are as sensitive to pain as I am?
Please tell me honestly whether it was better than you expected after actually receiving it, or if you felt it was worth continuing because of the results, even though it was really painful.
I've been putting it off because of the pain, so I'm really curious about realistic reviews.
