Used under the eyes, this procedure can help treat fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating rejuvenation and new collagen production.
It is also used to tighten loose skin around the eyes, according to Polyclinic Plastic Surgery.
Lacey ranked this procedure a “nine out of 10.”
She noted that while she was “puffy” on the first day, it “naturally brightens and fills under the eyes when followed.”
The fashionista added that the feeling of having the procedure was “really weird.”
Next, Lacey revealed she had a keratin brow lamination and lash lift, which she said was a “100,000 out of 10.”

Last on her list of favorite procedures was chin filler, which she gave an “8.9 out of 10.”
