Bruising after first microdermabrasion.Why did this cause bruising and how long does it last? How can I make it go away? (photo)

Bruising after microdermabrasion is unusual in my experience.  However, bruising commonly happens more easily to people after a minor injury, like a procedure or bump, if they have sun damage, thin skin from aging, or are taking blood thinners.  Items that thin the blood are aspirin, ibuprofen, motrin, any NSAID such as celebrex, alleve, also Vitamin E, fish oil, and even alcoholic beverages.Remedies to help bruises heal faster are arnica, bromelaine, and sometimes Vitamin K.  Arnica cream and gel preparations are inexpensive and easy to find over the counter without a prescription.  Bromelaine is a natural ingredient in pineapple.
