Navigating Photobiomodulation’s Frontier & Data w/ Vladimir Heiskanen

This week on The Red Light Report, I am joined by Vladimir Heiskanen, a Finnish dentist and independent medical researcher. Vladimir has published 6 peer-reviewed articles on photobiomodulation (PBM) and has been writing on PBM since 2013.
