Has anyone had Fraxel laser treatment? I'm worried about my pores.

I used to think my skin wasn't that bad, but at some point, I started becoming really self-conscious about the pores on my cheeks. In particular, they become more noticeable just a few hours after I apply makeup, and my skin texture looks uneven in photos, so I am under a lot of stress.

I’ve tried all sorts of highly-rated cosmetics and even applied pore primers, but they only cover them up temporarily, so it doesn't seem like a fundamental solution. Lately, I see my pores first whenever I look in the mirror, so I am looking into dermatological procedures.

I looked it up and saw that Fraxel lasers are highly recommended. I became interested because there are many reviews saying they are effective for improving pores and skin texture. However, I am also worried because I have never had a laser treatment before.

I am curious about the level of pain during the procedure, the recovery period, and whether the redness tends to last a long time. Since I work, I am a bit hesitant about a procedure that is noticeable for a long time.

I am also curious about how many Fraxel sessions are typically required to see results. I would like to hear about actual experiences—whether a single session is enough to see changes, or if consistent treatment is necessary.

If anyone has received Fraxel laser treatment for enlarged pores, how satisfied were you? I am curious to know if the results were worth the cost and if you would be willing to receive it again. It would be very helpful if you could also share any specific care steps to take after the procedure, or if you experienced any unexpected discomfort. I would like to make my decision after hearing honest reviews from people who have actually experienced the treatment, rather than relying on advertisements.
