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.
Once a bruise has formed, however, not much can be done to treat it. Most bruises eventually disappear as your body reabsorbs the blood â although healing might take longer as you age. It might help to elevate the affected area and apply ice. If the sight of a bruise bothers you, cover it with clothing or makeup. You might not be able to eliminate easy bruising. However, taking simple steps to protect your skin and avoid injury can help you try to stay bruise-free.
