Due to the high permeability of the walls of blood vessels, during mechanical action, impact, and sometimes simply from strong pressure, capillaries burst and blood enters the surrounding tissues into the subcutaneous space. The location of the hemorrhage can be easily identified by a dark spot, which gradually becomes blue-purple and acquires the familiar color of a bruise.
As the bruise heals through resorption, the color changes to brownish-yellow and yellowish-green. In a person with weaker blood vessels, bruises appear frequently.
A bruise is not just a cosmetic defect, but a painful microtrauma.
A bruise on the face usually disappears within a week, on the body within two weeks, and on the leg it may not disappear for a whole month. The female body, due to thinner and more delicate skin and more permeable vascular walls, copes with this consequence of the blow longer.
How to quickly remove a black eye
It should be noted that the skin around the eyes is much thinner and more delicate than on other parts of the body. When receiving a blow to the eye area, the bruise fades within the first minutes. To stop the rapid spread of the hematoma, you must immediately apply something cold to the site of the bruise. An ice cube is ideal for this purpose.
If you don’t have ice on hand, take any frozen product from the freezer, wrap it in a napkin or thin towel to prevent frostbite on the delicate skin of the eyelids, and apply it to the eye for 15-20 minutes.
Cold relieves pain and prevents swelling around the eye. With a sharp decrease in temperature at the site of impact, the vessels narrow, blood flow decreases, which means the bruise will not appear completely. The visible lesion will be significantly smaller in size. These actions in the first seconds after the blow will significantly reduce the healing time of the bruise.
After which you can use effective folk remedies or pharmaceutical preparations for the bruise. After a day, you can try warming up, but the heat should be dry and comfortable to perceive, since the eyes cannot tolerate high temperatures.

Removing circles from pigment and brightening the skin
Traditionally, IPL photorejuvenation is used against pigmented skin. The result can be seen after the first visit, but usually 2-3 procedures are needed for complete correction. The cost of photorejuvenation of the area around the eyes is 5,000 rubles.
Also, to lighten pigment, whitening peeling , but not every composition can be used in this area - the skin around the eyes is delicate and thin.
We recommend Enerpeel EL Plus delicate peeling, created specifically for this area. Cost - from 3000 rubles (price including discount, check if it is valid at the moment).
Please note that you may need multiple photorejuvenation or peel treatments to achieve long-lasting results.
In the case of peeling, good results are achieved in combination with the Cytocare meso-cocktail (consists of hyaluronic acid and a nourishing, vitamin solution).
Mesotherapy - from 3500 rub.
Mesotherapy as a separate procedure can also help eliminate dark circles under the eyes. During mesotherapy, a mixture of drugs and vitamins is introduced, which is selected individually. The average course of mesotherapy includes 4-8 sessions , and the effect of the procedure lasts up to six months.
We select mesotherapy cocktails personally, sometimes mixing them. To rejuvenate the eyelid area, we prefer preparations with peptide and amino acid complexes; to lighten pigmented dark circles under the eyes, we prefer products based on adapted ascorbic acid.
Biorevitalization - from 7,000 rubles.
Biorevitalization involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid in its pure form into the dermis and does not directly eliminate either dark circles or the nasolacrimal groove .
We recommend biorevitalization to those whose dark circles under the eyes are just appearing or have appeared. At the initial stages of the problem, the procedure, in general, can “push back” contouring to a later date.
Usually, in addition to injection procedures, we select professional cosmetics for each patient, which can be used at home to consolidate and increase the result.

How to quickly remove a bruise after injections
After a course of intramuscular antibiotics, few people do not experience bruises on the buttock, and sometimes on two. Marks in the form of blue spots appear quickly and, in addition to their unaesthetic appearance, which makes it difficult to undress on the beach and in the pool, they cause considerable pain. You can quickly remove bruises from injections by applying an iodine mesh.
You should draw it daily until the blue marks from the injections completely disappear.
After a careless injection into a vein, bruises may also remain on the arms. An experienced healthcare worker, after installing an IV or taking blood from a vein, leaves only a small needle point at the injection site. But no one is immune from the work of a novice nurse; moreover, high blood pressure or increased fragility of the patient’s blood vessels can lead to bruising even in the hands of an experienced specialist. A number of drugs, when administered intravenously, can sometimes give this result.
In such cases, seeing a spreading burgundy-purple hematoma, the healthcare worker should quickly apply an alcohol-based warming compress to the injection site.
If you find a bruise upon returning home, make yourself a bandage with a medicinal solution of dimexide. Mix the drug with vodka in a 1:1 ratio, and then further dilute the composition with distilled water (1:4). First, lubricate the post-injection hematoma with baby cream to protect the skin from alcohol. Moisten a small gauze pad with the prepared solution with dimexide and apply it to the bruise. Cover the compress with clean polyethylene on top and secure everything with a bandage. Keep the bandage on for 7-8 hours.
The procedure must be carried out once a day until the bruise completely disappears. It will initially turn yellow and then return to its normal color. However, please note that you will need to consult a doctor if the following cases occur:
- in the area of the hematoma, the skin has an increased temperature;
- palpation reveals a painful lump at the injection site and increases in size;
- swelling of nearby tissues does not subside, but increases and causes concern.
These symptoms are very alarming and may indicate the development of a purulent abscess. Therefore, you cannot do without timely medical assistance; you will have to visit a doctor.
Let's sum it up
The main causes of bruising and increased fragility of blood vessels are listed above, but not all of them. There are quite a few of them, and treatment tactics in each specific case can differ radically. Moreover, completely different specialists can treat pathology: vascular surgeons/phlebologists, dermatologists, rheumatologists, infectious disease specialists. It is impossible to give any general recommendations without seeing the patient and without knowing the entire clinical picture. From a relatively harmless, which can have an effect, and in most cases does not harm, we can recommend eating more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamins P, or taking their synthetic analogues. But even here, allergic reactions to these drugs and food are possible, and there are also restrictions for certain groups of patients (for example, pregnant women).

Modern medicine recommends using pharmaceutical and cosmetic products to eliminate bruises. Among the most common means used are:

Apply an iodine mesh to the bruise, blood circulation will improve in this place, due to which the hematoma will resolve faster.

What procedures definitely won’t help?
Advertising is everything to us, but don’t rush to loud headlines!
“Laser rejuvenation” is often mentioned as a life-saving way to remove dark circles.
Laser rejuvenation cannot improve the appearance of dark circles: the skin of the lower eyelid is already very thin and delicate, “burning” it with a laser is unnecessary!
But laser exposure to tone the skin can add density and is often used in the complex elimination of problems under the eyes.
RF lifting (RF-lifting) also does not help with dark circles.
Thread lifting (thread correction) - does not remove bruises and circles under the eyes.
Serums, masks and ointments. How can these products restore lost subcutaneous fat or eliminate pigmented skin cells?
Blapharoplasty - from 65,000 rubles.
A surgical correction method that helps remove bags under the eyes, but does not save you from dark circles!
