Brief Answer:
Many factors decide the nature of treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
The treatment of varicose veins depends upon many factors:
Age and gender of patient.
Actual sites of leakage that is causing varicosity.
Color doppler findings.
Associated problems like obesity, history of deep vein thrombosis, diabetes, hypertension, medications and so on.
Any secondary changes like discoloration of skin or venous ulcers/

There are many choices of treatment such as:
Surgical ligature of the leaking valves. Any Surgeon trained into this can do.
Sclerotherapy to cause scarring: not much advocated.
Laser treatment: Need the machines as well as trained interventionist.
Hence all above factors and your choice after knowing will decide the mode of treatment.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please give feedback, all the relevant history and post investigations reports, particularly the recent color doppler, photos of affected parts.
