The treatment
What is wet cupping?
Wet cupping — hijama in Arabic — uses gentle suction cups on the skin, followed by very small superficial openings made with a sterile single-use blade. It is a traditional practice of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and clients book it as a complementary therapy alongside, never instead of, medical care.
- A suitability conversation before any cups are placed.
- Suction adjusted to your comfort throughout the session.
- Blood captured in disposable cups and disposed of safely.
- Written aftercare in your hand before you leave.
Your visit
Four calm, clearly explained steps
Nothing happens without your understanding first. First visits run a little longer so we can take your health history properly.
-
Consultation
Health history, medications, goals and privacy preferences — plus honest answers about whether hijama suits you today.
-
Dry cupping phase
Cups are applied with light suction for a few minutes. It feels like a strong, deep pull — we check in and adjust as we go.
-
Wet phase
Very small superficial openings with a sterile single-use blade, then cups are briefly reapplied. Most clients describe a pinprick, not pain.
-
Dressing and aftercare
The area is cleaned and covered, you rest for a few minutes, and you leave with written aftercare for the next 48 hours.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Six of the questions we hear most. The full list — including suitability questions about pregnancy, blood thinners and diabetes — is on the treatment page.
What is wet cupping (hijama)?
Hijama is a traditional therapy in which suction cups are applied to specific points on the body — usually the back and shoulders. After a few minutes the cups are lifted, very small superficial openings are made in the skin with a sterile single-use blade, and the cups are reapplied briefly to draw a small amount of blood, which is captured in disposable cups and disposed of safely. It is one of the practices of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and we deliver it as a complementary therapy in a clean, insured clinic — never as a replacement for medical care.
How much does hijama cost?
Hijama at Sincerity Cupping Clinic starts from £45. The exact price for each option — including male and female sessions — is shown before you confirm when you book on Fresha, so there are no surprises on the day. Every session includes the consultation, the treatment itself with single-use sterile equipment, and written aftercare; appointments take 60–75 minutes. If you want to talk through options first, message us on WhatsApp.
Does hijama hurt?
Most clients call the sensation unusual rather than painful. The suction feels like a strong, deep pull — similar to a firm massage — and the superficial openings feel like a brief pinprick lasting a second or two. Any soreness afterwards is like mild post-exercise tenderness and normally settles within 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner checks in throughout and adjusts the suction to your comfort.
Do you offer female-only and male-only sessions?
Yes. Female clients can request Sister Aisha in a female-only environment, and male clients are seen by Brother Abu Layla. Modesty and privacy are protected throughout — just mention your preference when you book so we schedule the right practitioner and room setup.
What are the Sunnah days for hijama?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is reported to have practised cupping on the 17th, 19th and 21st of the lunar month (narrated by Anas ibn Malik, Jami at-Tirmidhi 2051), and many clients like to book on those dates — especially when they fall on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. We are happy to check the upcoming dates with you. If you cannot make one, hijama remains beneficial on any day; the timing is a recommended Sunnah, not a requirement.
