Traditional treatment modalities for wart require long‐term treatment course and usually have high recurrence rates and unwanted side effects. In this review article, we evaluated different types of laser therapy in the treatment of warts. Published articles since 2000 up to July 2020 about laser therapy in genital and non‐genital warts were searched and assessed. Fifty articles were selected for the final review, including 22 pulsed dye laser (PDL), 10 neodymium‐yttrium‐aluminum‐garnet (Nd: YAG), 3 erbium‐doped yttrium‐aluminum‐garnet (Er: YAG), 14 carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and one systematic review. Complete response rates were different in terms of laser type used (0%‐100%, 9.1%‐100%, 83.3%‐100%, and 59.15%‐100% for PDL, Nd: YAG, Er: YAG, and CO2 laser, respectively). There was no significant difference between conventional treatment modalities and laser therapy regarding efficacy and recurrence rate. Combination of lasers with keratolytic agents, immunomodulators and photodynamic therapy can be helpful especially in immunosuppressed patients, refractory, and recurrent lesions. PDL has the lowest occurrence of adverse effects relative to other types of lasers.
