Facial Cupping & Hijama Therapy for Skin Health at Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist in Manchester, UK: Your Complete Guide to Natural Skincare Remedies

At Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist Manchester (Female Only), many clients ask whether cupping therapy can help with skin concerns like acne, eczema, pigmentation, and premature ageing. This blog explains how facial cupping, wet cupping (Hijama), and dry cupping can support skin health alongside natural oils and nutrition.

What Is Facial Cupping Therapy?

Facial cupping is a non-invasive therapy where soft silicone or glass cups are gently applied to the skin using light suction. Unlike body cupping, facial cupping is specifically designed to be much gentler.

💡 Key Benefits:

• Boosts blood circulation and oxygen to skin cells

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles

• Encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness

• Helps fade acne scars and pigmentation

✅ When to Have It:
2–3 sessions per week for 4–6 weeks is ideal, with maintenance treatments monthly.

✅ How It Works:
During your session, we use a skin-safe oil such as jojoba or rosehip. Cups glide over the skin in upward and outward strokes, stimulating natural rejuvenation.

How Hijama Therapy Supports Skin Health

Hijama therapy involves using suction cups on specific points of the body, sometimes followed by small incisions to draw out stagnant blood (wet cupping).

Common Skin Conditions Treated with Hijama:

• Acne

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Hormonal skin imbalances

💡 Why It Works:
Many skin problems are linked to internal inflammation, poor liver function, or hormonal imbalances. Hijama promotes detoxification, improves blood flow, and supports immune regulation.

✅ Session Frequency:
Wet cupping: Once monthly.
Dry cupping: Every 2–4 weeks, depending on skin condition severity.

Understanding the Difference Between Facial Cupping, Dry Cupping & Wet Cupping

Facial Cupping

• Purpose: Improve skin texture and circulation

• Technique Used: Gentle moving silicone/glass cups

• Best For: Acne scars, wrinkles, puffiness

Dry Cupping

• Technique Used: Stationary cups left on skin

• Best For: Muscle tension, internal balance

Wet Cupping (Hijama)

• Purpose: Remove toxins and stagnation

• Technique Used: Small cuts after suction

• Best For: Detox, acne, eczema, psoriasis

Best Natural Oils to Use with Facial Cupping Therapy

1. Jojoba Oil:
   Balances skin’s natural oils, ideal for acne-prone skin.
   When: Apply 4–5 drops on a clean face before facial cupping.

2. Rosehip Oil:
   High in Vitamin C and antioxidants, brightens skin and fades scars.
   When: Use 2–3 drops post-cupping at night before sleep.

3. Black Seed Oil:
   Anti-inflammatory properties, soothing for eczema or psoriasis.
   When: Apply sparingly on affected areas, 1–2 times daily, avoid if sensitive.

Skin-Friendly Nutrition for Clear, Glowing Skin

Alongside cupping, diet plays a vital role in skin health:

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Salmon, Chia Seeds): Help reduce inflammation.

• Antioxidants (Blueberries, Green Tea): Protect against skin ageing.

• Zinc (Pumpkin Seeds, Chickpeas): Essential for acne healing.

• Vitamin C (Oranges, Bell Peppers): Boosts collagen production.

How Many Cupping Sessions Are Recommended?

To see visible improvements:

• Facial Cupping: 2–3 times per week for 4–6 weeks.

• Wet Cupping (Hijama): Once every 4–6 weeks for skin-related concerns.

• Dry Cupping: 2–4 weekly sessions depending on individual needs.

⚠️ Important Medical Precaution

The content shared in this blog is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any complementary treatment, including Hijama (wet cupping) therapy.

At Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist, your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. To ensure every session is both effective and safe, it is essential that you consult your GP or a healthcare provider before booking if you have any of the following conditions or circumstances:

🚫 Conditions & Situations Requiring Medical Clearance or Contraindication:

• Pregnancy – Hijama should not be performed during pregnancy due to potential risks to the mother and baby.

• Anaemia – Low haemoglobin or red blood cell counts require controlled cupping and medical supervision.

• Heart Disease – Cardiac conditions may be affected by changes in circulation during Hijama.

• Diabetes – Poorly controlled diabetes can delay healing and increase infection risk.

• Clotting Disorders or Blood Thinners – These increase the risk of excessive bleeding or bruising and require medical approval.

• Low Blood Pressure – Cupping may further lower blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness or fainting.

• Cancer (Active or Recent) – Those undergoing cancer treatment may have compromised immunity or increased risks during therapy.

• HIV or Hepatitis C/D – These viral infections impact the immune system and liver. Hijama must only be considered with specialist medical guidance and in a strictly controlled setting.

• Infections – Wet cupping should never be performed if there is an active infection present in the body.

• Weakened Immune System or Recent Surgery – Individuals recovering from surgery or with suppressed immunity are more vulnerable to complications.

• Steroid Use (including corticosteroids) – Long-term or high-dose use of steroids can suppress the immune system, thin the skin, and delay healing. This increases the risk of post-cupping side effects such as bruising or infection. Medical advice is essential before proceeding with treatment.

• Liver or Kidney Disease – These organs play key roles in detoxifying the blood; Hijama may place stress on these systems if they are impaired.

• Severe Varicose Veins or Vascular Conditions – Performing Hijama on or near compromised veins can cause further damage or blood vessel rupture.

• Neurological Disorders (e.g. epilepsy, multiple sclerosis) – Such conditions may require specialist assessment before cupping.

• Severe Mental Health Conditions – Clients with untreated severe mental illness (e.g. psychosis, schizophrenia) may not be suitable candidates for treatment due to the nature of the therapy.

• Immunosuppressive Medication (e.g. chemotherapy, transplant medication) – Increases risk of infection and delayed healing.

• Eating Disorders or Severe Malnutrition – Individuals with very low body weight or nutrient deficiencies may not tolerate cupping well.

• Severe Allergies or Anaphylaxis History – If you have known allergies to oils, latex, or other substances, please let us know in advance.

• Under 18 or Over 65 Years of Age – Cupping for children and the elderly must be approached with caution due to sensitive skin and potential underlying health concerns.

• Skin Conditions, Open Wounds, or Infected Areas – Hijama should never be carried out on inflamed, broken, or infected skin.
