Jacqueline Laurita, reality TV star, recently went against conventional celebrity behavior and spoke out about her cosmetic procedures including  facial laser treatments, Botox and facial fillers. She believes that these treatments are crucial in helping her to look and feel her best.

Laurita’s cosmetic surgeon, Dr. William Song, is very happy with her results, and the effects that her treatment is having on her facial appearance. “We’re seeing a lift, we’re seeing firming of the skin, definition of the jaw line, reduction of some of the fat under the chin. It’s more like turning back the clock.”

As a reality television star, Laurita feels the pressure of looking her best. And she has a tough time with the concept of “aging gracefully,” she says. “I think that when people age gracefully, the people that age gracefully, it’s because they can. Just for me, if I can fight it, I will.”

Though people often choose to have more cosmetic procedures during the summer, Laurita believes this type of maintenance treatments are important all the time, not just in the summer. As a licensed cosmologist, she has definite opinions about the timing and value of these procedures.

“It’s very important,” she told ABC. “People think, ‘Oh, I just need it in the summertime when I’m going out to lay out.’ … You need it year-round. When you step out of your house, you need a sunscreen.”
