Problem: Sun damage (freckling), under-eye circles
Pros: Skin looked smoother, brighter and more even toned. "There was no downtime at all. You could reapply makeup immediately and go out to dinner. I didn't experience any funny redness or anything," said Jenn, 31 (pictured).
Cons: A stinging sensation while sweating for the first day or two after each treatment. Skin was more sensitive so heavy sunscreen was a must -- even under clothing. Total cost: $1,000 (five sessions)

Botox
Problem: Furrows between brows (the glabellar region)
Pros: The furrows disappeared. "It was totally painless!" said Kristen, 30 (pictured). "Though my lines were not horrible to start with, I wanted to prevent them from getting deeper with Botox -- and it worked. I will do this again and again."
Cons: Effects wore off after three months. Total cost: $300 (one injection area)
Editor's note: Numbing cream was applied prior to injections.
