There really is nothing you can do to get rid of them besides vein treatments. I have had laser vein removal for some really bad spider veins, and boy does it work! Now that being said: it cost me 400$ for one treatment, and it hurts like ****!!!!! It is recommended to have several treatments before they are all gone, but I got really good results from one treatment, and I did not want to repeat the pain. If you were to go about this, I would recommend doing it when you want to wear pants for about two months, because the veins look really gnarly when they've been treated, as they take time to die off and break down. But the end result was sooo worth it for the ones that were really big. To prevent yourself from getting any more, get some compression stockings and wear them at work. Massage your legs, and prop them up whenever you can. Spider veins or bigger varicose veins are due to blood pooling and damaging the valve-like structures in the vein. They stay dilated from not being able to do their job of getting blood back to the heart. Elevation and compression-repeat.
