Inquiry regarding pain and features of men's beard laser hair removal. Is the procedure quick?

I have to shave every morning, but I keep getting folliculitis around my chin. Since my hair is so thick, it leaves bluish marks even immediately after shaving, which is stressful. While looking for an effective solution to create a neat impression, many of my colleagues recommended laser hair removal. I heard that thanks to its distinct feature of permanently reducing hair density by destroying the hair roots, it drastically shortens my morning routine.

However, since my beard is very thick and coarse even for a man, I am worried because there are many reviews saying it is extremely painful. I am wondering if anesthesia is usually used during the procedure. Also, I plan to squeeze in a visit during my lunch break or right after work, so I would like to know how long the total laser hair removal treatment actually takes when targeting the entire face. I am also wondering if my skin can be neatly trimmed quickly even though it is on the thicker and rougher side. I would appreciate realistic answers from those who have received laser beard removal for men.
