No, it might make it go away faster, and feel better, but it won't go away right away. They still have to heal.

Acctually, it just makes it appear like it's gone. It does take time to heal but massaging it will make the bruise less prominate

Bruises are injuries that result in some discoloration caused by subsurface bleeding because of damage to soft tissue. Tiny blood vessels in tissue beneath the skin are ruptured, but the skin itself is not broken. The pigment in red blood cells is broken down and reabsorbed into the bloodstream during the healing process, and the color of the bruise gradually changes to yellow. When healing is complete, usually within a few days to two weeks, bruises completely disappear.

No, a contusion merely means bruising. Bruises look worse sometimes than the actual injury. As a contusion heals, the blood from broken small blood vessels will be reabsorbed, changing the bruise to yellow, greens, and black before lightening and finally going away.
