Can I have laser hair removal while taking levothyroxine & amitriptyline?

Question

I am currently taking 100mg Levothyroxine and 50mg Amitriptalyn for migraines - will any of these mean I cannot have laser hair removal? Thanks

Taking levothyroxine has no effect on hair removal lasers but amitriptyline can cause photosensitivity. It means that after hair removal lasers, one should avoid excessive sun for the next two weeks.
