No one is immune
from bruises under the eyes Such injuries can occur accidentally at home, at work, while playing sports or in a fight.

If the organ of vision itself is not damaged , the hematoma is an exclusively aesthetic problem and in most cases does not even require special treatment , disappearing within a couple of weeks.
Attention! But sometimes it is necessary to eliminate such an injury very quickly, and in such situations special ointments and traditional medicine come to the rescue.
The occurrence of a black eye from a blow from a medical point of view
Physiologically, a bruise is a hemorrhage into the soft tissues of the infraorbital area , which occurs due to damage and rupture of blood vessels that have been subjected to external mechanical influence, in this case, a blow.
A hematoma is internal bleeding.
In this case, the blood does not come out, accumulating under the skin, and the blood plasma, which does not immediately dissolve in the tissues, permeates them, distributing more or less evenly.
Subsequently, such a formation changes its color due to decay processes.
For this reason, bruises that appear as red spots immediately after an impact become blue or purple over time and turn green and yellow as they heal.
Precautionary measures
Due to its organic origin, badyaga can cause local allergic reactions. To avoid such situations, allergy tests are performed. A small amount of the drug is applied to a small area of the wrist on the inside or the bend of the elbow and irradiated. There should be no reaction other than a natural slight burning sensation. Do not use if severe irritation or rash occurs.
Preparations containing badyagu should not come into contact with the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose. They should also not be used on open wounds or damaged skin. In this case, rinse the affected areas thoroughly with plenty of running water. water.
The drug can be used by pregnant and lactating women, as it is not absorbed by the body. Also, badyaga does not interact and does not affect the intake of other medications.
How long does it take for a bruise under the eye to last?
How long does it take? If after the blow you do not provide first aid and subsequently do not engage in treatment, a moderate or severe hematoma will disappear within a maximum of two weeks (plus or minus two to three days, taking into account individual physiological characteristics).
The speed of bruise resorption also depends on the time of year .
In hot weather, bruises take longer to heal. If a person immediately takes action and then treats the injury site with special ointments, the healing process takes from several days to a week .
Occasional mild hematomas, regardless of whether medications were used or not, usually resolve within three days.

How to remove a bruise from a blow?
Hematomas from blows can be removed in two ways: using medicinal drugs and compounds or by masking .
The choice of method depends on the extent of the damage and how quickly the injury needs to be removed.
First aid
Keep in mind! Direct treatment should always be preceded by first aid.
The further process of resorption of the bruise depends on this, so after injury, the following steps should be performed as soon as possible:
- Apply something cold to the bruise . Ideally, this is ice, but in “field” conditions you can use any frozen product from the freezer, a bottle of cold water, even ice cream purchased at the nearest store, and any cold metal object. The main thing is to ensure cooling of the damaged area within the next half hour. Cold should be applied not only directly to the hematoma, but also to the entire cheek to avoid the spread of internal hemorrhage to adjacent tissues.
- Limit heat exposure . Excessive heat during the first day can provoke an increase in bruising, for this reason it is forbidden to warm the damaged areas with compresses - this will be needed in subsequent days.
- Stop nosebleeds . If an eye injury is accompanied by such a symptom, you should not blow out excess blood, as this can lead to the spread of the hematoma to the area near the nose and to the cheek.
The next day, if there are no open wounds in the bruise area, you can perform warming .
Remember! Any methods are suitable for this - from a freshly boiled egg to heated salt wrapped in natural fabric or in a bag made of it.
It is optimal to perform warming in the morning and evening throughout the healing period.
Medications for bruises
Elimination medications and ointments are often found in home medicine cabinets.
And if you don’t have them, you can buy such products at any nearest pharmacy.
Among these medications, the most common are the following:
- Heparin ointment. Contains the active substance heparin, which promotes rapid blood clotting and eliminates swelling and inflammation. When applying this ointment daily to a bruise twice a day, the effect is visible after the second day. The course of treatment can last differently - it depends on the severity of the damage and the condition of the tissue.
- Badyaga. Can be used both in the form of a powder, which is diluted with water, and in the form of a gel. In both cases, it is enough to smear the bruise once a day for a week.
- Lyoton. Another product based on heparin, but in a higher concentration, resulting in a faster result. The ointment must be applied three times a day.
- Bruise-Off . A modern product in the form of a gel based on an extract from leeches, which is often used by athletes. The active ingredients promote rapid resorption of hemorrhages and neutralize the color of the bruise. At the same time, the cream has a shade characteristic of normal skin, so this drug has a slight additional masking effect.
- Troxevasin. Elimination of bruises is not the main purpose of such an ointment, but due to its absorbable effect, this remedy is successfully used in this direction. Additionally, troxevasin helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels, which leads to rapid healing. It is enough to apply this ointment only during the first day from the moment the bruise forms, but every hour.

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.

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.

Preventive measures
Any qualified doctor will confirm that it is easier to prevent disease, pathology and dysfunction than to treat it. To avoid unwanted complications in the form of bruises, bruises and lumps, you must adhere to the following rules:
- It is good to disinfect injection sites
- Use only sterile syringes
- Choose the most suitable place for injections
- Use medications whose expiration date is within the acceptable range
- Inject smoothly
- Remove the needle along the same path along which it was inserted, without unnecessary movements
If you adhere to the recommendations described above, the likelihood that bruises will appear is reduced to almost zero.
Procedure after impact
To reduce the risk of bruising, immediately after an injury, apply cold to the site of the injury. This could be a bottle of cold water, a piece of ice or frozen meat. In order not to injure the skin from hypothermia, you need to first wrap the ice in a piece of cloth.
If you don’t have any of the above, you can apply a spoon, coin or handkerchief soaked in cold water to the affected area.
The skin around the eyes is delicate, applying cold to it requires breaks of 2-3 minutes every 10 minutes. On other areas of the face, cold can be applied for up to 30 minutes. It helps stop capillary bleeding, reduce the intensity of the process of edema and pain.
If the pain is very severe, you can take a painkiller, such as Analgin, No-shpu, Spazmalgon or Paracetamol. It is not recommended to take Aspirin, because it thins the blood.
Additional recommendations
To speed up recovery, it is recommended:
- Spend more time outdoors (at least 30 minutes every day).
- Enrich your diet with fruits and vegetables, you can start taking vitamins A and C.
- Exercise regularly. Physical activity helps saturate cells with oxygen and strengthen vascular walls. Thanks to this, the hematomas will disappear faster.

- does not disappear within two weeks;
- becomes hard;
- increases in size;
- causes vision impairment (if localized near the eye);
- begins to show signs of infection: some discharge appears from the skin in the damaged area, the temperature rises.
Cosmetics to solve the problem
To successfully tint a bruise, you need a whole range of cosmetics, depending on the type of skin and the characteristics of the hematoma.
For special makeup you will need:
- moisturizer or lotion;
- concealer;
- Foundation;
- powder.
Of course, you may not have all of these products on hand; you can replace them with basic cosmetic products.
Reliable concealer
Concealers with a dense structure cope better with the camouflage function. Its use is considered mandatory if the bruise is localized around the eyeball. Before applying the product, it is recommended to cleanse the skin with lotion and moisturize with cream.
It is not recommended to use a thick pencil for affected areas that are covered with wrinkles. It is better to give preference to soft textures, because they are able to smoothly even out the surface of the skin. Stick-shaped products are convenient. The product is applied pointwise and blended with a sponge.
When choosing a concealer color, you need to pay attention to your skin tone if the bruise:
- blue, then orange will do;
- violet-bluish – yellow;
- dark red – blue;
- brownish tint – green;
- yellowing – purple concealer.
First, the product is applied and left on the skin for a while, after which it is carefully shaded so that its borders extend beyond the affected area.
Concealer
If you don’t have concealer, you can use foundation, but it should be thick. It is recommended to apply it in a thin layer, otherwise all wrinkles will be emphasized. To obtain results, you must first moisturize the skin. The task is not easy and requires patience, a certain skill and a creative approach.
When choosing a foundation, you need to focus on your skin type. The application process is carried out with a finger or sponge using rubbing movements in the direction from the center to the periphery. For fixation, you can use transparent powder.
To distract attention from the bruise, it is recommended to emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes by applying eye shadow and eyeliner. In this way, it will be possible to highlight the advantages and disguise the disadvantages.
Quick corrector
A soft crumbly corrector can also mask a hematoma; it is applied to the borders of the bruise and in the central part, and shaded with a brush. Before the procedure, you need to carry out basic skin treatment.
The color should match the tone of the makeup, all boundaries and transitions from healthy skin should be smooth. To complete the look, use blush and contouring products.
Rescue powder
It is better to give preference to varieties endowed with the ability to hide skin defects. A yellow bruise can be disguised with bronze-colored powder. It affects the tone of the face, masking the yellowness of the bruise, giving the skin a tan tint.
Applying decorative cosmetics makes the appearance bright, preventing an insidious bruise from ruining plans.
