Frequently asked questions
Hijama FAQs
Hijama is wet cupping. Suction cups are placed on selected areas, followed by small superficial skin incisions and a second suction stage. It should be performed using sterile technique by a qualified practitioner.
No. Dry cupping uses suction without breaking the skin. Hijama, or wet cupping, includes superficial incisions and removal of a small amount of blood.
You may feel tight suction, pinching, stinging or tenderness. Comfort varies by area, suction level and individual sensitivity.
Temporary circular marks, bruising or redness are common and may last several days or longer. Wet cupping also creates small superficial skin breaks that need aftercare.
Appointment length depends on consultation, number of areas and treatment type. Confirm the expected duration when booking.
There is no one schedule suitable for everyone. Frequency should be decided after reviewing your health, skin recovery and treatment response.
Wet cupping may be unsafe when bleeding risk is increased. Do not stop prescribed medication yourself. Discuss your medicines with the clinic and your prescribing doctor.
Pregnancy requires individual medical assessment, and some areas or treatment types may be unsuitable. Inform the clinic before booking.
Evidence for many claimed benefits is limited or mixed. Hijama should not be advertised as a cure and should not replace medical diagnosis or prescribed treatment.
Contact the clinic promptly if redness, heat, swelling, discharge, worsening pain or fever develops. Seek urgent medical care for severe symptoms or uncontrolled bleeding.
