In medicine we should never say anything is 100%. For the most part treatments for your lower extremity varicose veins will have a success rate above 95%. The good thing is even when they are not 100% successful, retreatment is possible with greater success rate.
If you develop varicose vein disease especially at a young age and received treatment, the probability that you will develop recurrent problems in the next 5 to 10 years, is unfortunately high. If recurrence occurs, that he can always get rechecked and treated as needed.
To avoid recurrence of varicose vein disease, you need to exercise, eat healthy, maintain a good weight, and if you have a sedentary job where you are standing or sitting most of the time, wear compression stockings.

It all depends. Everyone is different and the causes of their problems can be different. You would need to have a full evaluation by a vascular surgeon.
