In the past, if you had sagging skin around the eyes, it meant surgery.

Now there is a quick and easy alternative.

Sally Lang waited until she was in her forties to have a baby.

She has got the energy of a young woman, but felt she looked older than she was.

Sally did not want to have surgery and found out she did not have to.

Until recently, doctors could not use lasers around the eyes because absorbing light would damage the retina.

A new breakthrough treatment called Aluma does not affect the eyes.

It uses radio frequency, there is no pain, and it is quick.

Cosmetic dermatologist, Eliot F. Battle, M.D. says, "We can treat upper lids all the way down to the eyelash. We can treat lower lids all the way upwards. We can treat the fat pads; it improves dark circles, firmness of the eye area, crow's feet."

It usually takes a few treatments over several months to get the full effect.

Sally noticed a difference after her third visit.

Treatments cost around 250 dollars, but because the device is so new, doctors are not sure how long the results last.
