Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
Well, I am assuming that when you say a "few" warts, that these are small and few. In terms of options for treatment of warts, we actually use lasers to remove them in some cases.
So in answer to your question:
1. Yes you can get the laser hair removal
2. No the laser hair removal will not spread the warts
3. They need to use proper ventilation during the laser removal (so as not to expose themselves)
4. If there are warts outside of the area where you are having the laser removal of hair, talk to your OB/GYN about removing these too.
