Why Providers Move from AestheticsPro to Cerbo: From Spa Software to Clinical EHR

Posted by Cerbo

AestheticsPro is a leading platform for spa and medspa management. It streamlines scheduling, point-of-sale, and marketing automation, making it ideal for cosmetic and elective procedures. 

For businesses offering facials, injectables, or laser treatments, AestheticsPro provides a straightforward system that keeps appointments organized and payments on track. But as more aesthetics clinics expand into wellness, functional medicine, or regenerative services, they quickly discover that AestheticsPro’s spa-focused design can’t keep up. It lacks medical-grade documentation, specialty lab integrations, and configurable workflows that support a true clinical environment. 

That’s where Cerbo steps in. Designed for both aesthetics and advanced medical practices, Cerbo  helps clinics evolve from beauty and wellness management to fully integrated patient care.

When AestheticsPro Works and When It Falls Short

AestheticsPro shines for cosmetic procedures and membership management but is limited for practices expanding into medical or functional care. Its built-in CRM and marketing tools make it easy to manage memberships, gift cards, and client communications. For purely cosmetic services, that’s often enough. 

However, once your practice starts offering IV therapy, BHRT, or functional wellness programs, the platform begins to show its limitations .While AestheticsPro includes basic treatment notes and optional e-prescribing, it lacks robust charting and specialty lab integrations needed for functional and wellness care. It’s a strong tool for running a spa, but not for running a medical practice. 

Cerbo was built to bridge that divide by combining EHR precision, specialty workflows, and patient engagement tools in one connected platform that supports long-term care, not just single appointments.

Clinical Documentation for Real Medical Care

AestheticsPro’s charting is designed for consent forms, before-and-after photos, and treatment notes. AestheticsPro supports treatment notes, consent forms, and before/after photos, but isn’t built for complex medical documentation or multi-step protocols. 

Cerbo was developed for providers who manage both cosmetic and clinical care. With its configurable Chart Parts, you can document everything from IV infusions to hormone therapy while tracking vitals, labs, and progress over time. Every chart stays tied to billing and the patient record, helping teams stay consistent, compliant, and efficient.

Built-In Tools for Specialty and Wellness Clinics

Modern medspas and hybrid wellness centers need tools that do more than schedule and sell. They need features that handle specialty workflows like IV therapy scheduling, supplement tracking, and protocol management. AestheticsPro’s strength lies in spa management and retail workflows. However, it lacks built-in features for IV therapy, hormone therapy, or functional programs.

Cerbo delivers all of that. Clinics can integrate with 60+ standard and specialty labs, including Genova, Evexia, and Quest, and manage supplements through Fullscript and Wellevate directly within the chart. Medication inventory tracking with lot and expiry details is also built in, helping practices that provide injections or compounded treatments maintain accurate records. 

For clinics moving into wellness or regenerative care, Cerbo brings together everything that AestheticsPro lacks.

Patient Experience That Builds Retention

AestheticsPro offers reminders, intake forms, and marketing automation, but lacks a clinical-grade portal for lab results, care plans, or secure patient messaging. 

Cerbo’s patient portal changes that dynamic. It gives patients access to their care plan, lab results, and supplement recommendations all in one place. They can send messages, request refills, and stay engaged between visits. This helps clinics maintain stronger relationships and improve adherence to ongoing treatment programs - something that’s essential for hybrid aesthetic and medical practices.

Scalable and Transparent Pricing

AestheticsPro pricing starts around $275 per month for unlimited users, but costs increase with additional clinical modules or enterprise-level reporting. However, that cost can climb quickly with added features like e-prescribing or expanded reporting modules. For clinics scaling from aesthetic to integrative or functional care, the lack of clear clinical upgrades becomes a cost bottleneck.

Cerbo’s pricing is designed for transparency and growth. With flexible full-time and part-time provider plans, clinics can scale without worrying about feature restrictions or unpredictable fees. You can explore Cerbo’s current pricing structure here.

Why Clinics Move from AestheticsPro to Cerbo

AestheticsPro remains an excellent platform for spa and aesthetic management. However, when clinics expand into wellness or functional care, they need an EHR designed for medical documentation, lab integration, and patient engagement. 

Cerbo gives providers that next level of capability, combining EHR accuracy with the flexibility of a full practice management system. It’s the natural evolution for clinics ready to grow from beauty-based operations to medical-grade care environments.
