Do pores and acne scars really improve after Fraxel?

I had severe acne when I was young, so I still have scars and enlarged pores on my cheeks.

It is quite stressful because it is not easily covered even with makeup and stands out more depending on the lighting or photo.

I consulted a dermatologist and was recommended Fraxel, but when I looked it up, I found that while there were many reviews saying it was effective, there were also many comments saying the pain was severe and the recovery period was difficult.

I am particularly worried because I saw a post saying that my face gets red and flaky, and that I need to be careful even when washing my face for a few days.

Still, since there is a lot of talk about how effective Fraxel is for improving pores and scars, I am wondering if it is really worth getting.

Has anyone had Fraxel treatment?

How many sessions did you receive to feel the effects?
