What Conditions Do Medical Phototherapy Lamps Treat?

Ultraviolet light has many useful purposes, with UV electromagnetic radiation providing germicidal and healing properties.  Medical phototherapy is the process of using various wavelengths of UV light to treat certain conditions. UV phototherapy lamps are useful in treating and providing relief to a variety of ailments and illnesses. 

Phototherapy lamps are proven to treat many health conditions, including:

Neonatal jaundice - UV lamps are the main source of treatment to break down bilirubin in the blood that occurs when an infant’s liver is not yet fully capable of breaking down the toxins in the body.  “Bili” lights help the baby’s body and prevent brain damage. 

Mood disorders, depression – many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) during the winter months with less sunlight. Light therapy lamps help to treat depression which can be mild to severe and can improve symptoms of fatigue, lack of interest, and many other depressive symptoms. 

Sleep disorders – phototherapy lamps treat sleep disorders, including jet lag, by helping the body to regulate the natural circadian rhythm. 

Light therapy lamps also treat a host of skin conditions and are prescribed by dermatologists to ensure the right wavelength is used to treat specific conditions such as: 

Acne – UV light is proven to help treat acne, which affects nearly 60 million people in the U.S. Topical treatments can minimize symptoms, but many are ineffective, leaving people looking for help. Combinations of red and blue light therapy have been proven successful in treating acne to reduce outbreaks and lessen the severity of symptoms. 

Eczema – UV light is useful for successfully treating eczema with UVA, UVB, and narrow-band UVB wavelengths that reduce symptoms and help to clear skin. 

Psoriasis – light therapy helps to treat psoriasis by successfully lessening the severity of symptoms and preventing outbreaks.  Sometimes medication called Psoralen is used in conjunction with UVA and UVB wavelengths to help absorption for successful treatment. 

Vitiligo – UV lights treat vitiligo which is a skin condition that leaves white patches on the skin due to a loss of melanin. Narrowband UVB lamps are a popular way to treat vitiligo and help repigment skin cells.

Ultraviolet medical phototherapy lights are used to treat these conditions and others, such as helping wounds to heal by increasing blood circulation and preventing infection. Photodynamic therapy, PDT, is a treatment where UV blue light is used in conjunction with medications to treat certain types of cancer and kill cancer cells or tumors of atypical growth. 

As you can see, ultraviolet lamps have vast healing power, although the right type of lamp with the correct wavelength must be used to treat each condition. It is important to use light therapy correctly under a physician’s care. 

LightSources is a leading global supplier of UV and fluorescent lamps using medical phototherapy as well as germicidal applications.

How Phototherapy Helps Eczema


According to the National Eczema Association, eczema refers to a group of skin conditions that cause different symptoms such as itchiness, inflammation, and dry patches of skin. Eczema is quite common with more than 31 million people in the U.S. having some type of eczema. There are seven different types of eczema which include:

  1. Atopic dermatitis

  2. Contact dermatitis

  3. Nummular eczema

  4. Neurodermatitis

  5. Seborrheic dermatitis

  6. Stasis dermatitis

  7. Dyshidrotic eczema

Eczema can appear any time from childhood to adulthood with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. The exact cause of eczema is unknown although we do know that it is not contagious and seems to develop from a combination of environmental triggers and genes.

One common treatment for eczema is light therapy, which can help to reduce symptoms of itchiness and inflammation in children and adults.

What to Expect with Phototherapy for Eczema?

Patients find relief with light therapy for eczema which should be prescribed by your doctor with specialized UV phototherapy lamps. Phototherapy lamps emit either UVA or UVB wavelengths with narrowband UVB proven effective to treat eczema. Phototherapy lamps can be used to treat just certain areas or the entire body where patients would stand in an enclosed area with protective eyewear while being exposed to phototherapy lamps. 

Sometimes a cream or lotion can be applied prior to UV exposure, or medication called psoralen may be used in combination with UVA treatments to provide better results. It may take a month or two of regular visits to see an improvement, although some patients can experience remission and reduce the number of visits. 

Many people with eczema experience flare-ups during fall and winter with less sun exposure. For those patients with improved skin conditions during the summer months, light therapy is more likely to provide positive results.

Phototherapy Lamps for Eczema

Be sure to use high-quality light therapy lamps for any type of phototherapy treatment.

Phototherapy Lamps Deliver Proven Healing Benefits

post 107
Phototherapy, also called light therapy, is using specialty UV lamps to treat various health conditions. Phototherapy is proven to be a very effective treatment of several medical ailments such as various skin conditions, mood disorders and even diabetes.  Skin conditions which benefit from phototherapy lamps included acne, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and jaundice.

Light Therapy Lamps Help Skin Disorders

Phototherapy lamps are endorsed by the National Psoriasis Foundation when use under the care of a physician. UV light emissions in the UVB range deliver effective psoriasis treatment by reducing inflammation and slowing down the production of new skin cells which promotes healing.  UV lamps kill bacteria and reduce itchy and inflamed skin for patients suffering with acne and eczema.

Phototherapy Lamps Effectively Treat Jaundice

Jaundice occurs when the liver cannot effectively break down toxins in the body and is most common in newborn babies. Phototherapy lamps for jaundice are sometimes referred to as bili lights as they help the liver to break down bilirubin which nurtures the liver into a functioning state. 

Light Therapy Improves Diabetes

Light therapy helps people suffering with diabetes by promoting healing of wounds and killing bacteria to fight infection. UV light is also proven to treat diabetic retinopathy which is a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness.  Patients that have had diabetes for over 20 years are more susceptible to diabetic retinopathy which damages the retina in 80% of these long-term patients. If treated early, light therapy can lessen the progression of diabetic retinopathy in 90% of all cases.

Phototherapy Improves Mood Disorders

Phototherapy is proven to improve mood disorders and depression such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).  SAD affects many people in the northern hemisphere when daylight hours are reduced during the winter months. Light therapy is proven to help treat this condition with patients feeling better typically within one week of consistent treatment.
