Have your "fine" lines begun to etch a deeper groove into your skin -- not to mention psyche -- and started morphing into (cue sinister music) full-blown wrinkles?

Let's be Zen about it. Take pride in each furrow as it represents a hardship overcome. Find joy in every crease as it is like a smile remembered. Ugh, who are we kidding? Let's plump those suckers up!

"The new world of fillers is tremendous for the consumer," says noted dermatologist Kathy Fields, co-founder of skin care brand Rodan & Fields. "[With them], we refresh faces, removing hollows, sags, dents and lines. We can't make anyone a 20-year-old again but we can make people look great for their age."

OK, so you decide you're game for a non-surgical skin treatment like Juvederm, Perlane or Radiesse, but you're wondering which one to use. The advent of safer, longer-lasting injectable fillers has made grandma's gold-standard collagen go the way of the dodo, but with such a glut of choices, women today are like kids with those dang Webkinz -- our minds beleaguered by what to choose and why. Here, we'll explain what the most common non-surgical facial fillers are, and share feedback from readers and doctors on whom they're best for and the pros and cons of each.
