 | | Phototherapy is used to treat hyperbulirubinemia, a common condition in infants, referring to an increase in the amount of bilirubin in the blood. | | | Phototherapy immerses the patient in a bath of fluorescent light, which breaks up and disperses the excess bilirubin. | | | It is characterized by jaundice, a yellowish discoloration of the skin. |

| | Because some ultraviolet rays are emitted by the light boxes used in phototherapy, patients taking photosensitizing medications (medications making the skin more sensitive to light) and those who have sun-sensitive skin should consult with their physician before beginning treatment. | | | Patients beginning light therapy for SAD may need to adjust the length, frequency, and timing of their phototherapy sessions to achieve the maximum benefit. | | | The exact mechanisms by which the treatment works are not known, but the bright light employed in phototherapy may act to readjust the body's circadian (daily) rhythms, or internal clock. |

| | Phototherapy is used to treat newborn infants with hyperbilirubinaemia. | | | Infants randomised to the fibreoptic group were treated with the Wallaby phototherapy system and infants randomised to control received no treatment. | | | Fibreoptic phototherapy does not necessitate the separation of mother from baby, and even though there is no randomised controlled trial data to prove it, there may be some advantage to this. |
