People are increasingly using hypnosis for acne treatment or skin issues. Sometimes this is their main therapy goal, and sometimes it’s a happy secondary consequence after treating other issues.
In any case, hypnotherapy is showing promising results and is very efficient as a complementary or alternative option to skin care.
How is Hypnotherapy used to treat skin issues?
Hypnotherapy uses the heightened awareness of the hypnotic state to help you explore your subconscious.
During hypnotherapy, you remain in control of your actions. The hypnotherapist cannot force anyone to do something against their will, even under hypnosis. So, hypnosis is very far from what you’ve probably seen on TV or videos about hypnotist performers.
During the hypnotic state, you are deeply relaxed and therefore more receptive to the images or memories that come to mind. Your conscious mind is not interfering but allowing your unconscious mind to focus on your issue - like acne or other skin issues - and address the feelings that come up.
