About this treatment

Complementary negative-pressure technique

Cups create controlled negative pressure on the skin. Depending on the method, cupping may be dry, moving or include supervised superficial scarification. It remains complementary and requires strict hygiene and selection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are the marks normal?

Yes. They may last several days and vary in intensity.

What is the difference between dry cupping and hijama?

Dry cupping does not open the skin; hijama may include superficial scarification under strict conditions.

Can it be done while taking blood thinners?

Medical assessment is needed and scarification is usually avoided.
