Injector broke needle while in my face during filler injection. After a month, bruise won’t go away. How can I treat the spot?

About a month ago I went to see my injector for cheek fillers. I have had the procedure done dozens of times without much bruising or discomfort. Until last visit when the injector broke the needle inside my face mid-procedure. There wasn’t a ton of bleeding so I powered through the remainder of the session. The area felt very tender for a few days but though the soreness went away, the bruising never entirely faded. How can I address the remaining bruise on my face?
