But there are some things you can do to help this process along, or to minimize the formation of large, dark bruises in the first place. One way to help bruises fade is to stem the initial flow of blood quickly after a traumatic injury. Ice should be applied to a bruised area as soon as possible to reduce the number of small bleeders contributing to the injury.
Eventually, the bruise changes to a bluish color, then greenish-yellow, and finally returns to the normal skin color as it heals. Place ice on the bruise to help it heal faster and to reduce swelling. Wrap the ice in a clean towel -- do not place ice directly on the skin. Apply the ice for up to 15 minutes each hour.
