New to hijama? Here is a clear, step-by-step look at what happens before, during and after your first cupping session.
If you have never had hijama before, knowing what to expect makes the experience far more relaxing. At Health & Style Medical Center, the process is calm, hygienic and clearly explained from start to finish, so you feel comfortable at every step.
Before the session
Your visit begins with a brief consultation about your health, any medications and what you hope to gain. It helps to be well rested, hydrated and to have eaten lightly beforehand, and to wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the treatment area.
During the session
The practitioner cleans the skin and applies the cups to create suction. In wet cupping, very light superficial scratches are made before the cups are reapplied. Most people feel a tugging or tightness rather than pain. A typical session lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes.
After the session
You will likely have temporary round marks that fade over several days. To feel your best afterwards:
- Rest and avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
- Keep the treated area clean and covered as advised.
- Drink water and avoid very hot showers or saunas at first.
