Can Carbimazole Be Taken While Undergoing Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
I have recently been diagnosed with Graves disease after finding out I have an overactive thyroid. I was half way through a laser hair removal treatment when it was mentioned that I should not carry on with it while taking carbimazole (immunosuppressant) is this true or can I carry on?

Hello,
There is not much evidence that carbimazole can cause photosensitivity or other skin conditions while using laser therapy for hair removal. You can carry on with laser therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
