General & Family Physician Dr. Shreya Kunder's  Response
Hi,
The medicine you are taking will reduce your hair on your face. however there is a chance that it will grow back when you stop the medicine. Has your doctor told you what is the reason you have this excessive facial hair.
You may need to test some hormones in your body to find out why you have excess facial hair. If everything is normal then it may be idiopathic hirsuitism ( where there is no definite cause). Laser removal of facial hair is the only permanent treatment for hirsuitism. The medicines you are taking will reduce hair growth but maybe temporary.
take care
