How Does the Pointer Pal Work?

The Pointer Pal works by transmitting a laser that bypasses the skin and reaches deep in the body tissue. While it isn't damaging to body tissue, it can be used to locate active acupuncture points within the body. Once it has located an acupuncture point it will sound a visual and audible alarm, alerting you that you have found the best place to insert an acupuncture needle.
