Facial Hair and Pimples

[facial]

I am 31 year old female. I have Facial Hair and Pimples on my face. Facial hair is mostly on my Upperlip and my Chin area.
I have these pimples from my teen age. But Past one year it is been increasing. Because of these pimples I have black spots on my face.

And every day I have problem with my facial hair.
I wonder, this is something to do with acne..?

I want to know what kind of treatment I can go for permanent Hair Removal, and Pimple treatment. Please advise me.

Thank you for your help.

There is laser hair removal...a girl I work with had her lip done and loves it.  I havent heard anyone complain about the laser hair removal. Usually you go in for a couple treatments and either the hair is very light and unnoticable or theres none at all.  As for the pimples you should see a dermatologist. I went to one when I was a teenager and they gave me Retin-A and minocyline and it cleared my face up.  Cetaphil is also a very good cleanser and I use it everyday.  I dont know what youve tried but a dermatologist would be the best way to go.

I would have to ask more questions.  Did you notice the hair anyewhere else on your body.  Like below the navel?  under your jaw line?  Are your menstral cycles normal?  Or are the speratic and they cover the calander?  Or do you not Get one at all?

I do not have extra hair growth on any other parts of my body. I do have some hair under my jaw line, but that is very light. What bothers me most is my upperlip and chin area, I have very strong and thick hair.
My menstrual cycle is very regular. And I do not have any other health problems.
About the laser hair removal, How much does it cost me to undergo that kind of treatment.?
I will definately visit dermatologist very soon for my pimples problem.
Thank you very much for your help.

The reason I asked those questions is that those to things you discribed are signs of PCOS....Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom (syndrome).  Not every gets all of the same symtoms they start to come on slowly.  I would check to see if this is medical condition before running to a laser treatment.
