Sharing the results with her 1.7 million followers, the star captioned the clip: ‘I give up trying to look snatched.
Ellie, who shares four-year-old son Arthur with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling, candidly added that she felt like she’d been ‘attacked by a laser grill’ following the procedure.
After sharing the immediate results of her treatment, fans rushed to the comment section to express their concern.
One fan wrote: ‘My god Ellie, what happened to your skin? I hope it’s fine.’; ‘Ouch. sorry.’; ‘You were beautiful just as you were! Not sure why you think you need to do anything. We love you for you!’

Laser skin resurfacing is loved by A-list stars including Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, and is becoming an increasingly popular method of anti-ageing.
It is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance, addressing issues like wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation by stimulating collagen production and removing the outer layers of skin.
The cost of a laser facial in London’s private medical district, Harley Street, ranges from £450 to £1,330 for a single session, with some treatments costing up to £2,500 or more.
Ellie previously denied getting Botox or filler in the past but has been open about her desire to look her best in an industry that puts a premium on youth and beauty.
She told Vogue in 2023: ‘I am always having my photo taken so my biggest priority is to make sure my skin looks hydrated and fresh,
She continued: ‘I love to use cryotherapy-inspired tools, like ice globes, straight from the freezer on my face in the morning to relieve puffiness before applying an under-eye mask.’
In 2014, the singer also denied undergoing a boob job, explaining: ‘My boobs look bigger because my waist is smaller. People underestimate how you can shape your body. Since I stopped eating meat and fish, my body’s better than ever.’
She was also forced to quash speculation in 2016 that she’d had lip filler, after she was pictured at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy gala in Los Angeles, with noticeably plumper lips and a generally smoother, streamlined appearance.

Although she has always been the owner of plump, pouty lips, they appeared fuller than usual, with the slick of pale pink gloss only adding to their volume.
It wasn’t long until people began to comment on Ellie’s appearance on X, formerly Twitter, and other social media sites, with many questioning whether she had undergone surgery or had lip fillers.
One user wrote: ‘Did Ellie Goulding get plastic surgery?’; ‘Ellie Goulding you are a beautiful woman – step away from the lip fillers. Seriously.’;
While one concerned onlooker asked: ‘Why do girls do this to themselves? – gross!’; ‘@elliegoulding those lips. I’m disappointed.’
Quashing any speculation that she had lip filler, she told Digital Spy: ‘Any of my friends will tell you, I don’t like needles – it’s impossible for me to have done anything like that. But it’s funny, I have to see the funny side.
‘(My make-up artist) Lisa does 3D lips, and it makes your lips look massive. You add, like, three layers of lip liner.’
