My hair is thick and abundant, so I'd like to ask if laser hair removal would be effective.

Now that I'm already in my mid-thirties, I notice every morning that even the smallest details of self-care bother me much more than before. In particular, the hair on my arms, legs, and underarms tends to be thicker and darker than average, so I've always used hair removal cream or shaved. However, my skin texture has become rough and goosebump-like, and my once clear complexion has turned dull, leading people around me to constantly ask if I look tired. So, I'm looking into types of laser hair removal that neatly trim the roots while being less irritating to the skin. From what I've researched, laser treatments help to smooth out the hair by selectively destroying only the hair follicles, but I'm worried about how many sessions are typically recommended to achieve permanent results. If anyone has tried laser hair removal, I would be very grateful if you could share some practical tips regarding the cost-effectiveness and duration of the results!
