The fire is allowed to go out before inversion.

Dry Cupping

Dry cupping is the very basic technique that uses cups to create a vacuum over the skin. Any combustible material such as alcohol, herbs or paper is lighted and slipped into the cup. As the fire goes out, the cup is immediately inverted over the selected area.
The cooling air inside the cup creates a vacuum causing the blood vessels under the skin to expand and redden. The cup is allowed to rest in the skin for about 10 minutes.

Wet Cupping

At first, suction is created similarly as in dry cupping and the cup is left on for about 3 minutes. Next, the practitioner uses a scalpel to make minute cuts on the skin. A second cup is then administered to suck up a few drops of toxic blood and with it harmful substances from the body so healing can take place.
Later, the site is dressed in antibiotic ointments and sterile bandaging so that infection is prevented and the skin heals quickly.
