Best laser for hair removal and pigmentation?

I get a horrible pigmentation on my arms after any form of hair removal. Is there any laser or other treatment that can help me get rid of the pigmentation and the excessive hair (my skin tone is fair and hair much darker)?

The pigmentation is what bothers me more as it doesn't fade with time. Kindly help.
