I wander if anyone has any experience with using mind power (selfhypnosis, placebo, visualisation or sth like that) to boost acne scaring procedures results.
I am not even talking about treating acne scars just by mind power, but rather about boosting your procedure by mind power.

I guess meditation alone could help, because it reduces stress level=reduce cortizol=lower corizol increase DHEA=high DHEA increases collagen production, but I am more interested in more aimed practises (e.g. self hypnosis).

I had 3x experiences with one of skin condition (not acne or scars) which I treated for about a year. After self hypnosis (and still using ointment which did not worked many weeks/months before) this healed within one week. It might be coincidece but since we have so called placebo effect - I doubt it.

I also wander if I unconsciouslly sabotage my healing, since acne caused so much trauma in the psychic, that looking bad became part of my identity.

well, no one would be able to tell if a placebo worked because you still need a control group to test if it's worked or not
