Andy Lee’s fiancee has revealed the secret to her perfectly plump, filler-free lips.
Rebecca Harding, 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to detail all the non-invasive cosmetic procedures she undergoes to keep her features prominent.
The influencer and model filmed herself receiving various treatments at the Skin To Heart aesthetic clinic in Melbourne, including a $275 ‘LipLase’.
Rebecca then took a selfie to document the results of her glowing skin and pout for posterity. ‘Delighted!’ she wrote. ‘Laser treatments are where it’s at!’
“A little red and blotchy for a while and then dry lips for a few days but,” she captioned the image with a kissing lips emoji.
The lip treatment involved a Fotona SMOOTH Er:YAG modality, which is a laser treatment used for a variety of non-invasive skin rejuvenations.
“Pre-Christmas zhush,” Rebecca captioned her posts, as she filmed her doctor applying the laser treatments to her face, around her eyes, neck and collarbone, as well as her lips.
Rebecca Harding, 33, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to reveal how she gets her pout plump without filler at a Melbourne cosmetics clinic.
The influencer and model filmed herself getting several procedures done at Skin To Heart aesthetic clinic in Melbourne, including a $275 ‘LipLase’ to give her lips a fuller look.
“Probably my favorite treatment,” the model gushed. “The lift and sculpture this provides is unparalleled.”
‘It doesn’t hurt and I see immediate results. The skin is tighter and smoother, but also over the next few months it continues to improve.’
The video shows a doctor holding the device over Rebecca’s lips. As she passes it over the influencer’s mouth, the light from a small red laser immediately pumps Rebecca’s upper lip to double the volume of her lower lip, which has not yet been treated.
“I’ve done this twice and the results are amazing,” she captioned the clip. But she added the warning: “Be prepared for dry lips for the next few days.”
The Fontana laser uses a series of low-fluence laser pulses to gently heat the skin and stimulate collagen.
‘With several adjusted strokes you can achieve the characteristics of ‘ideal lips’ such as fullness, volume, correct balance between the upper and lower lip and a well-defined vermillion border,’ states a description of the treatment on the Skin to Heart website.
Celebrities and influencers have entered their no-filler era.
When Kylie Jenner appeared to have dissolved her famous lip fillers, clinics reported an immediate increase in requests for similar procedures.

In October, billionaire Australian TikToker Anna Paul took to Instagram to show off the results of dissolving her lip fillers.
American model Blac Chyna also posted a video of her facial fillers dissolving. ‘Back to baseline…’ he said. Courteney Cox spoke on a podcast about her biggest beauty regrets: “Fillers, but I was able to reverse most of that.”
In 2023, Ariana Grande told Vogue: ‘I’ve had a lot of lip fillers over the years and Botox. I stopped doing it in 2018 because I felt too much. For a long time, beauty for me was about hiding, and now I feel like maybe that’s not the case.’
Nearly a decade since Kylie Jenner first admitted to using lip fillers (increasing Google searches by 11,300 percent in 24 hours), injectables and Botox have fallen out of favor with the rich and famous.
Aside from the well-documented problems of filler not dissolving and “migrating” to unwanted areas of the face, there is a simple reason for this.
‘The economics of thinness’ is a theory that thinness and other changing beauty standards are often associated with class and social status.
When a beauty treatment, or a certain body type, becomes extremely popular, demand increases, and then prices drop and more normal people get it.
Then, as regular people start to look like celebrities and newer, better technologies emerge, celebrities reverse those procedures and move on to the next big thing.
In 2015, Kylie Jenner admitted to having her lips filled in on an episode of The Kardashians. In 2016, we came up with a new term to describe how everyone started to look: ‘Instagram Face’.
Leading plastic surgeon to the stars, Dr Stephen Mulholland, visits Australia in 2022 to train hundreds of Sydney-based cosmetic doctors on the latest devices.
“The technology is now so good that many people no longer choose to go under the knife, but instead use radiofrequency heat to target loose skin and fat and tighten skin tissue,” he said.
Dr Mulholland, who treats Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria, predicted more Australian women would take non-invasive treatments during their lunch break.
