The core difference in one sentence

CureCast vs Aesthetic Record Summary

CureCast is a clinical photo workflow platform built for consultation conversion across plastic surgery, dermatology and aesthetic medicine, from solo practitioners to multi-location chains. It does one job exceptionally well: finding and showing the exact matching before and after to a new patient during a live consultation in under 3 seconds. Works alongside any existing charting system, including Aesthetic Record, on Android, iPhone, iPad and desktop.

Aesthetic Record is a charting and practice management platform with a low entry price that appeals to solo injectors and single-provider med spas in the US. It covers e-charting, inventory, point of sale and patient management in one system.

Questions worth asking before you commit

  1. Can I export all my patient photos at full resolution without paying a separate extraction fee?
  2. Is phone support available if a clinical system goes down during patient care?
  3. Can I chart and document on a desktop browser or only on a tablet?
  4. Does the per-user pricing model log shared devices out frequently during the day?
  5. What is the realistic data import timeline and who handles it?
  6. Are there add-on fees and a setup fee beyond the monthly subscription?
