Yes: There are now wonderful, minimally invasive, outpatient procedures performed in the office setting, under local anesthesia, with minimal downtime, to treat your varicose veins.

Depends on "quick": Although varicose vein treatment nowadays is nothing like it used to be, with major surgery and prolonged hospitalization and recovery a thing of the past, still it takes a number of weeks before you see the final results of the treatment.

See a vein doctor.: Varicose veins are usually due to malfunctioning valves is the saphenous veins. This can be diagnosed by a venous reflux ultrasound. You should see a vascular surgeon or a vein specialist. The gold standard for varicose vein treatment is to seal the leaking valves with a laser or radio frequency catheter.

Sometimes: Depends upon the location, size, & severity of the veins as well as the underlying anatomy of your leg veins. Sometimes all that is recommended in compression stockings. Other times a simple intervention such as a single session of sclerotherapy can fix the problem. Other times the condition may require more significant intervention such as endovneous ablation or vein surgery. Seek vascular MD.
