What is phototherapy and how does it work?
Phototherapy is a safe and effective method used to treat jaundice (neonatal hyperbilirubinemia) in newborns. This method uses a special medical blue light (around 470 nm) that acts on the skin, converting excess bilirubin in the blood into a harmless form, which is then eliminated from the baby’s body.

Why is it used?
It is used to treat jaundice (physiological or pathological) in newborns; to prevent blood exchange (transfusion); in cases of Rh incompatibility or hemolytic disease during pregnancy; and in cases of delayed placental separation or low birth weight.

How does it work?
During phototherapy, the baby’s skin is exposed to blue-spectrum light. This light converts bilirubin into lumirubin — a substance that can be easily excreted through the liver. As a result, bilirubin levels decrease, jaundice disappears, and the baby becomes healthy.
