What is Dry Cupping and Massage Cupping?
Dry Cupping Therapy involves placing smooth, specialized cups on the skin and using a vacuum effect. This suction gently pulls the skin, underlying fascia, and muscle tissue into the cup. When the cups are left stationary, they provide focused static tension release.
What is Therapeutic Massage Cupping?
Therapeutic Massage Cupping utilizes the same suction cups but applies a lubricant to the skin. Instead of leaving the cups fixed, the certified specialist slowly moves the suctioned cups across large areas of the muscle tissue. This technique acts like a reverse deep tissue massage, pulling the muscle up and separating tissue layers — far more effective at breaking up deep-seated fascial restrictions.
The main purpose of both Dry and Massage Cupping is:
- To release tension and tightness in muscles.
- Promote blood flow to stagnant areas.
- To aid lymphatic drainage and reduce inflammation.
Dry Cupping vs. Wet Cupping: Which is Right for You?
The difference between dry and wet cupping is critical. Dry Cupping is purely mechanical and relaxing, while Wet Cupping (Hijama) is for deep detoxification.

The Treatment Process
Consultation
We assess your condition to determine if Dry or Massage cupping is best for you.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned. For massage cupping a light oil is applied for smooth gliding.
Cup Application
Cups are placed on the skin to create suction — either stationary (Dry) or moved gently (Massage).
Treatment Duration
The cups remain in place for 5–15 minutes depending on your needs and skin sensitivity.
After-care
Cups are gently removed and you receive guidance on how to care for the treated area.
Before the Session
- Ensure the skin in the treatment area is clean and free of lotions.
- Drink water to stay hydrated.
- Inform your therapist about any areas of particular sensitivity.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
After the Session
- Keep the area warm and covered after treatment.
- Continue to drink water to help flush out toxins.
- Avoid cold showers or exposure to cold drafts for a few hours.
- Moisturize the area if it feels dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Dry and Massage Cupping is non-invasive with no incisions. You may feel a tight pulling or pressure sensation from the suction — most patients find this relaxing, not painful.
Blood Hijama (Wet Cupping) involves small incisions to draw blood for deep detoxification. Dry Cupping uses suction only with no cuts. It is ideal for muscle tension, circulation, and relaxation, while Wet Cupping targets deeper physiological cleansing.
It can leave temporary circular marks where suction was applied. These are not bruises — they indicate where stagnant blood and toxins were drawn to the surface. The marks typically fade within 3–7 days.
Dry Cupping uses stationary cups for localized treatment on specific trigger points. Massage Cupping involves moving the cups over the skin with oil for a broader, relaxing effect. Our specialist will assess your condition and recommend the best approach.
