Hi. Your symptoms point to an underlying hormonal issue like pcod. A complete evaluation to rule out any abnormalities followed by medications is needed. Laser hair removal is a good way to get rid of unwanted hair but it is important to understand that it is not a permanent but a long term hair reduction.
Next Steps
Please consult a dermatologist

The increased facial hair and the acne with irregular menus is highly indicative of an underlying hormonal problem like PCOS. Between the 2nd to 5th day of your menstrual cycle get your S.FSH and S.LH blood test done along with USG (sonography) of your pelvis to check for ovarian cysts. you can follow up with me once you have the reports by meeting directly(preferably) or through online private consultation. Hair loss is a progressive problem and if not tackled in time tends to keep worsening over time. There are various causes of hair fall. Read my health feed for a better detailed understanding. https://fit.practo.com/#!/content/28405 After reading this I hope you will be convinced that a proper thorough examination of your scalp from a qualified dermatologist will be advisable for a fruitful outcome. There are various treatment options available for improving hair loss- apart from medical management other supplemental procedures like microneddling and PRP which can be used to achieve good results. The severity of acne dictates the choice of treatment. In the early grades of acne even the cream might suffice however in moderate to higher grades tablets also need to be taken. The treatment has to be continued for a few months otherwise the pimples would tend to return easily. Kindly do not self medicate without professional advice as that could further damage your skin. Get an online consult privately with pictures or meet a dermatologist directly for a proper evaluation of the condition. Hope this was helpful.
