Skin is our body’s natural barrier and the largest organ and comprises multiple layers. It’s constantly exposed to different external elements, with the epidermis, the topmost layer of the skin, acting as a layer of protection from dust, dirt, germs and water.
Acne is one of the common issues affecting most skin types and ethnicities. Too much oil on the skin or hormonal changes during puberty are generally believed to cause acne. However, acne can also be caused by stress.
Although associated with being a negative emotion, stress in small amounts can be beneficial, pushing you out of your comfort zone. However, like anything in excess, too much stress can take a toll on your health and skin. Anxiety and stress can cause hormonal imbalances, which can indirectly cause stress-related acne or stress-induced pimples. They manifest on your skin as acne, which sometimes can’t be treated using topical creams or over-the-counter treatments.
For effective stress acne treatment, a holistic approach in tandem with conventional treatment can address the psychological aspects of the acne problem. Hypnotherapy is an alternative line of treatment that targets the root cause of your acne – stress. My hypnosis for skin conditions is guided by you but offers a holistic approach to healing your stress-related acne.
Read this blog if you’re curious about how hypnosis addresses skin conditions like stress-related acne.
Understanding Stress-Related Acne
Stress can cause acne, but indirectly. When you’re stressed out, your body releases cortisol and corticotropin-releasing hormones as a response. This can result in hormonal imbalances which contribute to your spots.
Research has shown that mounting stress over time can weaken the body’s immune system and hamper its ability to launch a strong immune response. Additionally, this stress can downgrade the functioning of your skin barrier, allowing bacteria, allergens like dust and pollen, and chemicals to enter easily. The likelihood of an acne breakout increases manifold when all these factors come into play.
It’s not uncommon for stress-related acne on your face to make you feel embarrassed, affecting your confidence levels, regardless of your age or gender.
Let’s look at a variety of stress acne treatment options.
Common Stress Acne Treatments
A few of the common conventional treatments for acne are:
- Topical Creams
- Oral medications
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Modified nutrition or changes in diet
All of these treatments are conventional approaches, however, they’re not without certain challenges. Medications and topical creams can have unpleasant side effects, while a nutritional plan may not yield positive results very quickly. Yoga, exercise, and meditation may either take time to come into effect or may not bring expected relief.
Hypnosis for Skin Conditions – Hypnotherapy for Stress-Related Acne
The first step to managing stress-induced pimples is to lower your stress levels. This may be easier said than done, but small, incremental steps can add up and make a significant difference.
Hypnosis for skin conditions offers a one-of-its-kind approach to treating stress-related acne. Hypnotherapy targets underlying psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and negative emotions that contribute to acne formation.
In my sessions, I work on inducing a calm environment around you. Under hypnosis, you enter into an advanced state of relaxation. I will access your unconscious mind while your conscious mind takes a backseat. In this state, I address the negative thoughts and emotions associated with stress and anxiety that trigger the flare-up. I help you bring in a renewed sense of calm and try to reprogram your mind to modify your conditioned response to stress.
I guide you in visualising vivid and meaningful mental images and change your outlook towards your body’s response to stress. After every session with me, you gain a better sense of self and a renewed approach towards handling stress. I help you learn valuable techniques to react to stressful life events in a calmer and healthier way.
