The clinic I go to uses a Candela GentleLASE and I think it works well. I have fair skin and at first it didn't leave any marks but now that I've had over 10 treatments, the technician keeps turning the power up and it does leave red marks/welts on my face for a week or so. They just look like pimples or something to everyone else, so it's not a bother.

If you have fair skin and dark hair, you may not even need electrolysis as laser works very well on that kind of skin/hair.

Same company, different machine setup.  Either one would be just fine for fair skin and dark hair.  I'm having a tattoo removed using a picowave machine from Syneron-Candela, and it is working quite well.  I have no doubts about their ability to make a quality hair removal laser.
