Many ways: There are many possible treatments. Large visible varicose veins usually have an underlying source that you can't see. That is why it is so important to have an evaluation with ultrasound to make sure that any underlying vein trouble is identified and treated. These days, underlying vein trouble is treated with laser, rf ablation or foam sclerotherapy. The best doctor to see is a phlebologist.

Not likely: The best way to rid yourself of varicose is going to involve some form of surgery. You should start with an ultrasound of the leg that will let you know if the saphenous vein has reflux. This can be fixed with endovenous ablation. Then if there are residual veins they can be addressed as well. See a vein specialist.

You cant: You could do sclero injections. I would still call it a procedure/ surgery as it does have risk.

Depends: Really depends on the size. Smaller (spider) veins can be treated with injection sclerotherapy or laser. Larger veins can be treated with chemical or heat treatment. Compression stockings can be used to control larger veins.
