Has anyone tried pore care treatments? Do the effects really last a long time?

Maybe it's because my skin is losing elasticity as I get older, but lately, every time I look in the mirror, certain pores in specific areas look unusually long and prominent, which makes me so sad. Even when I apply makeup, foundation keeps getting stuck in the pores, and it just isn't working. So, I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to get proper pore care treatment at a dermatology clinic. I've heard that certain laser treatments are effective for pore care, but I'm hesitant to go for it because I'm worried about the pain or irritation.

My biggest concern is the cost-effectiveness of the results and the duration of the effects. An acquaintance told me that after getting pore care once or twice, the skin quickly returns to its original state, and that it is difficult to maintain the effects unless you manage them consistently and regularly for the rest of your life. I am curious to know how many months the tightening effect on enlarged pores actually lasts after the treatment. Has anyone received regular pore care lasers or skin booster treatments? I am also interested to know how long the results actually lasted for you, and whether there is a good synergistic effect when combined with home care.
