What should I do before Hijama?
Follow the preparation guidance provided with your booking, stay normally hydrated, and contact the clinic if you feel unwell or are unsure whether the session is suitable for you.
What should I do after Hijama?
Follow the aftercare advice given at your appointment. Keep any wet-cupping sites clean, avoid picking the area, and seek medical advice if you notice a concerning reaction.
How long do cupping marks last?
Temporary circular marks can occur. Their colour, appearance and duration vary from person to person and they usually fade over time.
Can everyone have Hijama?
Hijama may not be suitable for everyone. People with existing health conditions, pregnancy, medicines that affect bleeding, skin concerns or other health worries should seek appropriate medical advice before booking.
