My pores keep getting bigger, so I'm considering a pore treatment... For those who have tried it, how satisfied are you?

My pores around my nose and cheeks have suddenly become much more prominent. I used to cover them up with makeup to some extent, but now that I can see foundation settling into them, I keep feeling self-conscious. So, I've decided to bite the bullet and get a pore treatment. I've been looking up information, but there are more types than I expected and reviews are mixed. I'm really curious if there is a noticeable effect of shrinking my pores. Some people say you can't see any results after just one or two treatments, while others say their skin texture became smoother and makeup applies differently. Ugh, it feels like such a hit-or-miss situation. My biggest concern is whether the results will be satisfactory enough to justify the time and money I invest. I'm worried my skin might just get more sensitive and the effects will only be temporary. Please share your honest experiences regarding how long the redness lasts after the treatment and how satisfied you actually feel.
