Is the satisfaction level with laser hair removal really high?

I was shaving my armpit and leg hair with a razor,

I keep getting ingrown hairs that turn red, so I am very careful. With summer approaching, I am taking this opportunity to look into a semi-permanent solution.

I looked up reviews and everyone says it's a game changer, so I'm posting this to find out what the actual satisfaction level is like with laser hair removal. The cost is one thing, but I also don't have the time because I heard I need to visit the dermatologist regularly at least 5 to 10 times or more. I'm worried about whether the procedure is very painful, and I'm concerned about my skin becoming drier afterward or if there are any side effects.

I’ve heard that people with thicker or more abundant hair tend to be more satisfied with laser hair removal. Can someone with sensitive skin like me still achieve satisfactory results without any issues?

I would appreciate it if you could give me some tips on what to look for as key points when choosing a laser method to achieve satisfaction with laser hair removal.
