I am considering laser treatment; could you please give me some recommendations?

Hello. Lately, my skin concerns have been increasing, so I am seriously considering getting laser treatments. My skin tone used to be quite good, but recently my face has looked dull overall, and small blemishes and enlarged pores seem to be becoming more noticeable, so I feel like I need to start taking care of it. I am looking into laser treatments, but there are so many different types that I am having trouble deciding which one would be right for me.

After doing some research, I am even more concerned because I learned that the effects of each laser vary slightly, and the recommended treatments differ depending on skin condition. Some people say their skin tone brightened after just one or two sessions, while others say they needed consistent treatment over several sessions to see satisfactory results. I am curious to know what your actual experiences were like. I would also like to know how many sessions you typically needed to notice a change, and how often you spaced your treatments.

I am also curious about how long symptoms such as redness, peeling, and dryness last after the procedure. Since I work, a long recovery period would be burdensome, so I would like to know if it allows for a return to daily life. I have heard that sun protection and moisturizing are important after the procedure; I would like to know what products you actually used and whether there were differences in effectiveness depending on the care method.

Since costs seem to vary quite significantly from hospital to hospital, I am debating whether it is right to choose based solely on price, or if it would be better to prioritize the medical staff's experience or the equipment. If anyone has received laser treatment, I would be very grateful if you could share your most satisfying procedure, any downsides, and the key factors to look for when selecting a clinic. As this is my first time receiving such a procedure, even small pieces of advice or personal experiences would be a great help.
