hairdryer and dry ice might work for some dings, but i'm pretty sure it wont work for creases. For some reason, I also think PDR doesn't work that well with creases. I have no basis for this information.

It depends how tight the crease is. They would probably be able to work out the crease, but the paint is damaged from the bend.
 
Personally, if they are anything alot bigger than a door ding, I wouldn't try it myself. I did once and did more damage than good as I created more divits and waves around the effected area. I ended up having a paintless dent removal "specialist" fix mine. The price was 1/4 of what a bodyshop would have charged.

Try visiting your local car lots (new car sales) and see who they use for their paintless dent removal. The guy I used is the best in town and I later found out he does allmost EVERY dealership in town. There was a hood on a Dodge Ram that was closed on top of a 4x4 piece of wood (the guy set it there then forgot about it before slamming the hood down) he came in and in less than 1/2 an hour the crease was removed and the guy was on his way, the hood looked like new.
 
first off paintless dent repair is an art, pricing can range from 20 bucks from a friend of mine for a door ding(typically 40-60) all the way up to 250 bucks per panel with 10+ dents. some states have real bad hail storms and cars are badly damaged, these guys get tents and florecent lighting and camp out for months on end and do perfect work. seriously find a dealership that has a dent guy, i would check used cars first off since they would use him the most. get this guys number he will make you happy.
 
I just had dent eliminators remove several minor dents and dings from the svt I bought and it came out looking great, I couldn't even tell were the dents had been. Total, to remove all dents, including a dent on the roof was like $225 (this was with me removing the headliner other wise it would have been an extra $100.
