Varies: There are some topical gels that can be applied directly to warts and destroy them over time (weeks) .They can also be frozen or evaporated with a surgical laser. The approach is often determined by how big they are at the time of treatment & your personal desires regarding treatment.Laser removal would likely require general anesthesia & possibly a hospital stay.
