I'm considering laser treatment because of my enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. What criteria did you use to make your choice? :)

Are there many people who are looking into lasers for skin texture rather than blemishes?

My skin doesn't look too bad from a distance, but it looks completely different up close. The pores are particularly noticeable around my nose and cheeks, and when I touch it, the surface doesn't feel smooth. Lately, the thinner I apply my base makeup, the more these areas stand out, so it's really bothering me.

I've tried my best with home care too, haha. I've used products that are supposed to be good for pores and used face masks consistently, but while my skin does get moisturized, I don't really notice much difference in my pores or skin texture.

So I'm thinking of getting a laser treatment this time, but when I actually looked into it, there are just so many types lol. Even though everyone has the same pore concerns, the treatments they've received are all so different that I don't know what criteria to use when choosing one.

For those of you who have received laser treatments for enlarged pores or skin texture, did they determine the type of treatment based on your skin condition during the consultation? I am also wondering if it is better to just mention my concern areas and get recommendations, rather than deciding on the treatment I want in advance.

And what I want to know most is the actual change. I'm not expecting my pores to disappear completely; I think I'd be satisfied if they just looked less noticeable when I wore makeup and my skin surface became a little smoother. I'm also curious how many sessions would be needed to really feel that difference.

I'm also worried about the recovery period after the laser procedure. I've heard that some types leave redness on the skin for several days, so I'm wondering if it was burdensome to get the treatment while working. If you have any experience, please let me know how much it improves by Monday if I get the treatment over the weekend.

I am curious about the pain and the duration of the procedure, and if you receive it multiple times, I am also wondering how often you usually get them.

If anyone started laser treatments due to enlarged pores or rough skin texture, please let me know what you were most satisfied with!! It would be really helpful if you could tell me not only about the results but also about aspects that were different from what you expected.
