Skin Problems

Soothe your skin
- relief for eczema, acne and rashes 

If you’re coping with persistent or recurring skin issues such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), acne, unexplained rashes, chronic itching, or conditions resistant to standard treatments, then it may be time to explore a complementary pathway. At CE-Hypnosis I offer a tailored hypnotherapeutic approach designed to work with your existing dermatological care, helping you reduce symptom burden, calm the skin–mind–body connection and restore a calmer internal environment.


Hypnosis does not replace medical care. It’s an additional, skills-based way to re-train automatic responses to reduce reactivity.
If you are in acute crisis (self-harm risk, unmanaged psychosis, deep depression, suicidal ideation) then please ensure you are in safe, medical/psychological care instead.

What can CE-hypnosis help address?

Eczema

Eczema often involves cycles of inflammation, intense itching, scratching, skin-barrier damage and sleep disruption — all of which can be aggravated by stress.

 

Hypnotherapy may help by:

Reduce the urge to scratch, interrupting the itch-scratch-flare cycle. 

Improve sleep quality (less scratching, less waking) which helps skin repair overnight. 

Calm the nervous system and reduce stress-related flare triggers, improving barrier function. 

 

While hypnotherapy is not a replacement for topical steroids, immunomodulators or moisturiser regimens, it offers a valuable adjunct pathway for people whose eczema is significantly tied to behavioural + stress patterns.

​​

Perhaps just a few sessions could help you too, to reduce the eczema flares.

Acne

Acne is multifactorial (hormones, bacteria, inflammation, sebum, genetics), but stress, sleep problems, habit-picking and psychological distress can all worsen the condition. But we have found more reasons that we address in hypnotherapy.

 

Hypnotherapy may help by:

Reducing skin-picking, squeezing or touching behaviours, thus limiting aggravation and post-inflammatory marks. 

​

Calming the stress response (which releases cortisol and other mediators that worsen inflammation).

 

Supporting better sleep and emotional regulation, which in turn may improve skin healing and resilience. 

Change how the body responds in certain areas.


 

Rashes

This category covers a wide variety: contact or irritant dermatitis, stress-triggered eczema/rash, hives (urticaria), heat-rash, and other recurrent rash patterns.  ​

​

Hypnotherapy can help by:

Hypnotherapy can ease the reflexive scratching, rubbing or skin-disturbing habits that prolong a rash.

 

​It can calm the autonomic over-drive (which often underlies flare responses due to stress or anxiety).

​​

It supports better sleep and emotional resilience while you work with your dermatologist/GP to identify irritants, allergens or systemic triggers.

​​

Because rash-patterns often involve triggers + habits + stress, addressing the habit/stress dimension with hypnosis enhances your capacity to respond to standard care.

It can also help change the histamine overload that usually occurs.
​

Why hypnotherapy to aid skin issues

There is growing scientific recognition that skin disorders are not purely “skin deep”: the nervous system, immune responses, habit patterns (e.g., scratching) and emotional stress all interplay in how skin behaves.

 

How hypnotherapy helps

 

Through guided relaxation and focused suggestion, checking if something you eat can trigger skin issues etc

 

  • The skin and the central nervous system share embryonic origins (both from ectoderm) and therefore have close physiological links. DermNet®

  • Hypnosis (or hypnotherapy) in dermatology has been shown to reduce itch, lessen scratching behaviours, ease sleep disruption and reduce anxiety/distress related to skin conditions. DermNet®+2practicaldermatology.com+2

  • For example, studies on conditions such as warts (verrucae) found success rates of ~27–55 % with hypnotherapy, compared to no improvement in control groups. practicaldermatology.com+1

  • In patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema) refractory to standard treatment, hypnotherapy led to statistically significant benefits: less itching, less scratching, better sleep, and reduced topical corticosteroid use. practicaldermatology.com+1

  • A 2017 article highlighted that hypnosis, meditation and biofeedback in dermatology help by altering ingrained dysfunctional habits (e.g., skin-picking, scratching) and modulating the autonomic nervous system. ScienceDirect

  • Importantly: hypnosis is not a standalone replacement for dermatological diagnosis and care, but a supportive adjunct. As noted: “Hypnosis continues to be controversial and has limited scientific evidence to support it.” 

​

What to expect and commitment

 

Typically 3-6 sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) are sufficient for many clients; some may benefit from more depending on history, severity and habit complexity.

 

  • Sessions via secure online video or in-person (where available).

  • You will receive a customised self-hypnosis tools to practice between sessions - consistency is key.

  • Outcomes many clients report: calmer skin sensations (less itch/flare), fewer scratch episodes, improved sleep, better mood surrounding skin weaknesses, enhanced self-confidence.

  • As with any intervention, results vary. Hypnotherapy supports change rather than guaranteeing full clearance.

  • You continue to liaise with your dermatologist/GP — we emphasise integration not substitution.

 
In short

 

Camilla uses a client-centred, integrative hypnotherapy approach (via the CE-Hypnosis brand) that merges relaxation, imagery, habit-repatterning and self-empowerment.

Sessions are not one-size-fits-all scripts — each is tailored to your skin-story, your triggers, your lifestyle and your goals.

The testimonials section of CE-Hypnosis shows successful work across allergies, stress patterns, habit change and more - indicating robust capacity to address complex mind–body dynamics.

The approach aligns with the growing body of dermatology research recognising that hypnosis and mind-body techniques are effective adjuncts in skin care. 

You will be treated in a supportive, respectful environment where your medical care is honoured and psychological/behavioural factors are approached gently and effectively.

My difficult eczemas gone

Before I met Camilla, I was suffering from very difficult and severe rashes and eczemas (Perioral Dermatitis).

​

Even though skin specialists said there was no solution, I had to accept it, I was constantly plagued by redness that started around my mouth, then spreading and swelling in certain areas, with additional itching rashes in large areas of my face.

​

But surprisingly, after just one session with Camilla, all traces of my eczema disappeared. Now it's just a distant memory.

​

A big thank you to Camilla! You have no idea what difference it made.

Sever inflamed skin and acne

I had really severe acne during my teenage years. It was inflamed and with an intense redness, both on my face and a lot on my back and a bit on my chest. I was very ashamed and really did not want to swim during the summer, showing off my upper body.

Even though I took penicillin and showered a lot, plus used many creams, it didn't go so well. My self-confidence was not at its best.

​

After 2 sessions with Camilla, the inflammation itself calmed down and the swollen, intense red look changed in a completely different way. More like regular pimples and definitely more manageable. 

We took photos before and after 6 weeks so I could really see the difference.

​

The acne then gradually decreased and even though some scars remain, it cannot be compared to the swelling and inflammation of the skin I had.

​

I didn't think it would help, but the photos were really right on, proof.

What does an Hypnotherapy session look like?

​Working together at CE-Hypnosis is gentle, professional, and personal. You remain in control at all times - aware, and safe. 

 

1. Conversation & mapping:
We explore your story, typical triggers and view possible short term goals and longterm goals.

2. Guided hypnotic relaxation:
You remain aware and in charge while the body settles into a receptive state many describe as “comfortable, rested but focused.” Which also is very healthy for your mind.


3. The therapy work:
From the mapping (the therapy work itself) to using many different tools to make changes whilst you are comfortable relaxed. 


4. Response re-learning:
We use targeted suggestions and sensory imagery to re-pair familiar triggers with new interpretations, so your system practices staying steady.

​​

5. Visualization & suggestive support:
Visuals (e.g. different scenarios) and suggestions are used to reinforce new response patterns.


6. Homework between sessions or sensory exercises depending on your energy level and memory:

Short home practices help you reinforce change. Adding personalised tips for different issues. 


7. Follow-up:
Measure what’s changing, and optimize your path forward in the right pace (not stress).

​​

​

While conscious, talk-based therapy works mainly through rational understanding and discussion, hypnotherapy engages both the conscious and subconscious mind - the part of you that runs emotional, automatic, and habitual responses.


This difference often makes change faster, deeper, and more natural.

Histaminintolerans minimizde

I have suffered histaminintolerans and before I realised what it was, it was really scary. I had to go to the hospital or throw up directly from a glass of red wine. I was delirious, nausea, feeling like I was dying and my brain would not work.

A bee sting made me swell up so much it was crazy. It would not go down even if I waited several days in pain. I had to go to the hospital and get medication. 
 
By testing hypnosis (3 sessions) I can finally enjoy a glass of wine, or two, or more if I want to).  
Oh boy what a difference! 
It's so strange when a childhood incident has such an impact that my body and immunsystem totally got the wrong idea. 

I haven't been stung yet, that I know of, and somehow I am calm around bees and bumble bees, and wasps. Just giving them space and respect.  


I do recommend Camilla. Her methods are calm and thorough, and even though it I don't understand how, it works.

Pimples and inflamed skin gone

I didn't know what to do with my skin. From penicillin to all kinds of skin products and yet nothing helped. 

I found Camilla and had 3 sessions with her and honestly - within 2 months my inflamed skin stopped. My spots and pimples a lot less frequent until it stopped entirely. Even though I was told I had mums skin and would have horrible acne. 

She did give me homework and we looked at foods and other things. 
 

I can just say it worked. Really really well. And even though my mum still have issues, I don't anymore. It's been 3 years now and I still haven't got the issues. 

 

Changing unwanted reactions and even skinspots gone

I went to see Camilla to change some emotions and reactions I had that I felt was bothering and limiting me.
As she worked with me and went through her process, she was able to alter and remove layers of unwanted, old limiting behavior, and instead change and enhance to how I wanted to feel and be. I am still myself of course, but without the negative.

In one of our sessions I wanted to show her my skin issues to see if she could do something, som spots I have had for years, and to my surprise they were gone! What an awesome positive side-effect.

​

I highly recommend Camilla and her method to those who need assistance or want to change for the better and have feelings or reactions that are bothering them.

The Mind-Body connection behind Hypnotherapy

Our bodies respond to more than medicine and moisturisers - they respond to messages.
Every thought, emotion, and sensation sends signals through the autonomic nervous system, shaping how we breathe, digest, sleep, and even how our skin, immune system, and hormones behave.

​

When stress levels rise, the brain releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These can increase inflammation, tighten muscles, disturb sleep, and alter immune responses - all of which may worsen conditions such as eczema, acne, or chronic rashes. So when the body enters a calm, parasympathetic state (the rest-and-repair mode), healing mechanisms are enhanced: blood flow improves, immune balance restores, and tissue repair accelerates.

​

Hypnotherapy works directly with this mind–body communication.
During a hypnotic state - a focused, deeply relaxed awareness - the body’s stress response softens. The brain’s electrical patterns shift from busy beta waves to calmer alpha and theta states, associated with creativity, calm, and healing. In this state, new associations can form: itch can be reinterpreted as comfort; tension can ease; the body’s perception of irritation can change.

By guiding the mind into this receptive state, hypnotherapy helps the body remember how to self-regulate - easing habitual over-activation, reducing unnecessary stress signals, and promoting natural balance.


It’s not “mind over matter”; it’s mind and matter working together.

In dermatology, this connection is especially powerful. The skin and brain share the same embryological origin - the ectoderm layer - meaning your skin is, in a sense, the nervous system turned outward. When inner calm is restored, the skin often follows suit.

At CE-Hypnosis, sessions are designed around how to add changes for the body to self-regulate - including the skin. To find out the reason the body is acting this way.

​

Hypnotherapy doesn’t override biology - it helps it work better, restoring the natural rhythm between body, mind, and emotion.​

Research and studies supporting hypnotherapy for skin health

  • A new pilot study demonstrated that hypnotherapy had measurable benefits for chronic idiopathic pruritus (persistent itching), with symptom relief lasting for several months.
    (OUP Academic, PubMed)

  • Research also shows that hypnosis can influence skin reactivity — for example, during histamine tests — by changing emotional state and reducing flare responses.
    (PubMed)

  • A review article found that hypnosis, meditation and biofeedback in dermatology can help break habitual behaviours(such as scratching or skin-picking) and regulate the autonomic nervous system, which plays a key role in stress-related skin conditions.
    (ScienceDirect)

  • Several clinical studies on atopic dermatitis (eczema) have demonstrated significant improvements when hypnotherapy was used as an adjunctive treatment — including less itching, reduced scratching, better sleep, and decreased need for corticosteroids.
    (PracticalDermatology.com)

  • Articles focusing on mind–body therapies in dermatology highlight that combining hypnotherapy with stress-management techniques may be an important part of treatment for chronic skin conditions.
