Hypnotherapy is well known to help with many issues such as weight loss, phobias, confidence issues, and addictions such as smoking. This traditional list has been massively expanded in recent times. The latest new development is 'hypnotic botox' sessions.
An actual Botox procedure works by a series of small diluted botulinum toxins’ being injected into various muscles in the face. These injections have the effect of relaxing the facial muscles, causing wrinkles to relax and soften. The effects usually last between 4 and 6 months, when another injection may be required. However it is often the case that after each injection the wrinkles return as less severe, as the muscles are trained to relax, giving some permanent benefit.
Botox blocks the transmission of acetylcholine from the nerves to the facial muscle. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which sends a message to the muscle telling it to contract or tense up. When the flow of acetylcholine is reduced, the muscle can no longer retract and it relaxes. As a result, any wrinkled areas smooth out and soften.
Hypnosis is very effective at replicating this effect, but without the need for an expensive procedure. As we know, hypnosis is very effective at relaxing both the mind and body. A good clinical hypnotherapist can direct a subjects’ attention to relax specific muscles, anywhere in the body. The hypnotherapist only needs to direct a subject to relax the muscles in the face, and the results are very similar to a botox operation – a relaxation of the facial muscles, which leads to a smoothening of the lines and wrinkles in the face.
Often over time the same long term effects as a botox procedure can be observed – the muscles in the face become more and more accustomed to relaxing, leading to a permanent smoothness of the face.
A botox procedure sometimes has the side effects of headache and nausea. Hypnotherapy does not. In fact hypnotherapy patients usually wake up feeling more relaxed and happier than usual, which can aid a natural healthy sparkle and glow.
