I had electrolysis about 10 years ago - so it's possible that they've changed the way they do it - but - when I had it done, they insert a very thin needle-like thing into a hair follicle, and hold it there for about 8 seconds to burn the root of the hair. 8 seconds was a long time on one hair, if you think about all the hair follicles. With laser, it's like half a second, and they move onto the next hair quickly - it makes a beep noise - So it's like beep, beep, beep, beep - fairly fast, instead of insert needly thing - beep for 8 long seconds of pain. It's quick pain with laser, like a rubber band snap over and over.
Having very fair skin is really good, and if the hair down there isn't blonde, blonde, it should work well. The hair just needs to have a lot more pigment than your skin so the laser will target the hair. You can schedule an appointment with the laser center, and they should be able to tell you what results you should expect with your hair and skin type.
I didn't have any problems, but with just about everything that's a cosmetic procedure with a laser involved, they'll have a list of risks that might happen like burning or scarring. At the office I had my procedures, all the people doing the treatments were nurses, and they were supervised by a doctor.
If you have anymore questions that you don't want to post, or if you ask something here and I haven't answered in a while - just send me a message if you'd like. :)
