When you take a whisk to the affected area of a hickey, you are essentially spreading old pockets of blood around so that they no longer coagulate at the surface of the skin.
However, though effective, this way comes with certain risks, according to dermatologist Dr. Beth Goldstein.
Goldstein, talking to Insider, said that she'd recommend "time and coverup makeup" to deal with the hickey rather than "create more injury." The injury risk comes when the person applies the pressure of the whisk too greatly, potentially damaging major blood vessels.

Though some people did report the hack did not exactly work for them, but others were reminiscing on their old-timey tactics for hiding and getting rid of hickeys:
