Hi,
You need to first consult with the gynaecologist. Hormonal imbalance leading to higher than normal level of androgens is the cause of unwanted facial hair growth in females.
You may be prescribed cyclical pills to be taken for the next 3 to 6 months to regularise your hormones. Apart from Laser treatments,you can use basic methods of hair removal under the guidance of a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
