How painful is laser wart removal?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Painful: Laser treatment of warts is through it's high energy and burning mechanism. It also targets the blood vessels that feed the wart, thought to contribute to its efficacy. Your doctor may sometimes inject anesthetic into the area before the treatment to reduce the pain.

Less than others: One of the advantages of laser is to reduce trauma and therefore pain.
