Depends on size : Varicose veins can be treated with hoses, injection, surgery, laser. The best way to know is to get evaluated by a vein specialist, usually a surgeon.

A number of things: I would see a vein specialist/phlebologist. A venous ultrasound of your leg veins should be done to find the cause of your varicose veins and make a treatment recommendation. A treatment option that helps symptoms but doesn't make the veins go away is compression stockings. Other more definitive options include laser or radiofrequency ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, and/or sclerotherapy.

Several: Rf/evlt which is radio frequency or endovenous laser therapy. This is when a vein is heated from the inside through a minimally invasive technique to address the abnormal veins. Microphlebectomy is a series of tiny incisions, 1-2 mm in size, to remove tortuous and bulging varicosities.

Multiple options.: Varicose veins are due to leaking (refluxing) valves usually in the saphenous vein system. There is a gold standard of treatment and lesser ways to treat these veins. The gold standard is to have a venous reflux exam and laser closure of the leaking valves followed by microphlebectomies or sclerothrapy of the vv. Lesser treatments would be support hose and observation. See a vein specialist.
