I am wondering if I can feel the effects of the laser treatment after just one session.

I've been looking into various skincare options and have become interested in laser treatments. I rarely used to visit a dermatologist, but recently my pores have become more noticeable and my skin texture isn't what it used to be, so I'm considering starting some skincare.

I've looked up so many reviews online, but the more I read, the more confused I get. Some people say their skin tone brightened and texture changed after just one laser treatment, while others say you need at least five sessions to feel the effects, so I'm not sure what kind of results I should expect.

I don't have severe acne, nor do I have any major scars. However, my biggest concern is that my pores seem a bit enlarged, and my skin texture doesn't look smooth when I apply makeup. Up close, my skin also feels a bit rough.

So I'm thinking about getting a laser treatment, but there are just so many types. There's Fraxel, Pico laser, toning... I've heard the names a lot, but I have no idea which one is the best fit for my skin concerns.

I am also a bit worried about the skin becoming very sensitive after the laser procedure. I’ve heard that working people usually get the treatment on Friday evenings or before the weekend, so I’m wondering how many days of recovery are actually required.

If anyone has received laser treatment, please let me know what concerns led you to start, and how many sessions it took to reach your satisfaction level. I'm also curious about the level of pain and how long the redness lasted.

I am posting this question because I think real-life experiences would be more helpful than promotional reviews. I would be grateful if you could feel free to share your thoughts, whether you were satisfied with the product or found it lacking!
