A secure Laravel image upload

Im new to the filesystem from Laravel, but I need an upload script that allows users to upload images to my server. However, i'm concerned about securety, so I thought why not ask for advice.

Basicly, this is how I check the user upload and how I upload the file:

My request:

 return [
        'profile_picture' => 'image',
    ];

My check if the image is actually an image and not some bad maleware:

function checkIfImageIsAllowed($file) {
$allowedMimes = [
    'image/jpeg',
    'image/jpg',
    'image/png'
];

$allowedExtensions = [
    'jpg',
    'JPG',
    'jpeg',
    'png'
];
$allowedMaxSize = 2000000;
if(!in_array($file->getClientOriginalExtension(), $allowedExtensions) || !in_array($file->getMimeType(), $allowedMimes) || $file->getSize() > $allowedMaxSize) {
    return false;
}
return true;
}

And than I upload the file:

$path = $request->file('profile_picture')->store('UserUpload/Images');

This is how I display the Image:

    $images = \App\Image::where('uuid', $uuid)->firstOrFail();
    $path = $images->path;
    $image = Storage::get($path);
    $response = Response::make($image, 200);
    $response->header("Content-Type", $images->memeType);

    return $response;

What are your thoughts about this? Do you think this is secure enough? Or do you have some improvement for this?

Thank you!
