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.
Bruises occur when blood is released from the capillaries and is trapped under the skin. The good news is that by the time you notice a bruise, itâs already well on its way to healing. A bruise is commonly tender and sometimes even painful for the first few days, but the pain usually goes away as the color fades. Because the skin is not broken in a bruise as with a scrape or cut there is no risk of infection. Bruises typically take 2 weeks to heal/disappear.
