Wet Cupping Therapy (Hijama) for the treatment of Acne or Acne Scars:

Through Hijama, blood is drawn out from the skin’s surface at the local site. It is believed that this process helps to excrete the bacteria responsible for acne.


Hijama or wet cupping is widely known for its remarkable ability to reduce pain, as this aspect is frequently discussed among us. However, many are unaware that Hijama also provides excellent results for many other conditions. Today, I will share our experience regarding another condition, which may give hope to our patients.

The condition is acne or pimples.

Who will benefit, In Sha Allah?

1. Those suffering from acne problems.

2. Those whose acne has healed but left small pits and scars on the face.

3. Those whose skin texture has deteriorated significantly due to acne.

Hijama is a natural therapy that does not involve the use of any drugs or chemicals. Through Hijama, blood is drawn out from the skin’s surface at the local site. It is believed that this process helps to excrete the bacteria responsible for acne. Additionally, the finest scratches induce collagen production. As a result, the skin texture improves, and the pits get filled.

In summary, Hijama simultaneously reduces bacterial load, prevents follicular plugging, improves local blood circulation, and promotes collagen synthesis. All these factors contribute to improved skin texture and gradual healing of scars.
