Brief Answer:
No photosensitivity from carbimazole.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think carbimazole is photosensitive.
There is not much evidence showing that taking carbimazole will make your skin photosensitive. You can continue laser treatment while in carbimazole. There is no need to wait.

Hope I have answered the question.
