InjectConsent vs Aesthetic Record: the injectable record against the full clinic platform

Aesthetic Record is built for practices standardizing an entire med spa on one system, while InjectConsent is built for the two minutes around an injection.

The short answer

Aesthetic Record is designed as a broad med spa platform, and a clinic that wants scheduling, retail, payments and every service line on one system should evaluate it on those terms. InjectConsent is narrower on purpose. It handles the injectable treatment record: consent signed before the first needle, lot and expiration on the same screen, units mapped to sites, before photos attached, and a fourteen day touch up review scheduled automatically. If your revenue is mostly tox and filler, and the thing that slips is the chart rather than the calendar, the narrow tool finishes faster and gets used.

InjectConsent and Aesthetic Record side by side

Row by row on the parts of an injectable visit that get asked about later: consent signed at the chair, lot and expiration capture, units mapped to injection sites, before and after photos, and the fourteen day touch up review.
What you are decidingInjectConsentAesthetic Record
What it isA treatment record for neuromodulator and filler visits, and nothing else.A broad practice platform intended to run a whole med spa operation.
Consent at the chairThe consent version, the signature and the timestamp bind to that visit before injection starts.Consent sits inside a wider clinical suite, so review the current setup with them directly.
Product lot captureLot and expiration are required on every record, tied to the specific vial or syringe used.Product handling is part of an inventory approach built for a full service and retail menu.
Injection site mappingUnits and syringe volume drop onto a face map, glabella through jawline, as you work.Charting is designed to cover many service types, so injectable mapping is one template among many.
Before and after photosStandard frames attach to the same record as the consent and the lot number.Imaging is one piece of a larger clinical and marketing suite worth evaluating as a whole.
Two week touch upEvery tox and filler visit opens a fourteen day review without anyone setting a reminder.Follow up runs through the platform general scheduling and outreach approach.
Time to first chartYou chart a live patient the same day, because there is one workflow to learn.Onboarding covers a whole practice, so plan configuration and staff training time.
Best fitOne to five injectors whose revenue is mostly injectables.A clinic standardizing lasers, memberships, retail and front desk on one system.

The right hand column says what kind of product Aesthetic Record is and who it is built around, not what it charges or ships this quarter. Any product moves on, so confirm the live details on their own pages first. InjectConsent is published by MLJ, SASU and this page is written by Jimenez Julien.

Choose InjectConsent when

  • You inject three or four days a week and chart between patients, not after dinner.
  • Your state board inspection worry is unsigned charts and missing lot numbers, not scheduling.
  • You want a new injector productive on the record by her second shift.
  • Your service menu is tox, filler and skin boosters rather than a twenty line spa list.

Choose Aesthetic Record when

  • You run lasers, body contouring, memberships and retail and want one system across all of it.
  • You need front desk, payment and clinical work under a single vendor relationship.
  • You have an operations manager who can own configuration and train staff on a wider platform.

Scope is the real decision, not the feature list

A platform that covers an entire med spa has to be general. It has to chart a laser series, a facial, a weight management visit and an injectable appointment with the same underlying templates. That generality is a strength when your menu is wide, and it is friction when ninety percent of your visits are twenty to forty units of neuromodulator or one syringe of hyaluronic acid filler and you want the same six fields every time.

InjectConsent assumes the injectable visit. The record opens expecting a consent version, a product, a lot, an expiration, a site map and a photo set, because that is the visit you are about to do. Nothing is hidden behind a service type picker. The tradeoff is honest: if you add a laser line next year, you will still need somewhere else to chart it.

What an inspector or a plaintiff attorney asks for

The documents that matter after the fact are narrow and specific: the consent the patient actually signed on that date, proof of the good faith exam, the lot and expiration of the product injected, the units and sites, the photos, and the aftercare given. State boards flag missing signatures and untraceable product far more often than they question technique.

Both approaches can hold those records. The difference is how many places you have to look on the day someone asks. A focused record hands you one file per visit. A broad platform is capable of the same thing, but the work of making sure every field is required and every chart closes falls to how you configure and enforce it across a bigger surface.

Cost shape and what you are actually buying

InjectConsent is sold in three tiers: Solo Injector at $79 a month for a single practitioner, Med Spa at $169 for a room with a small team, and Multi Provider at $339 when several injectors chart under one medical director. You are buying one job done completely rather than a suite you grow into.

A full platform is a different purchase and should be judged on the whole clinic, not on charting alone. Ask them for current pricing and terms directly, and price the switch honestly: data migration, staff hours, and the weeks where two systems run side by side are real costs whichever direction you move.

Questions people ask before they choose

Can I run both, with a platform for the clinic and InjectConsent for injectables?

Plenty of practices do, especially while they decide. The pattern is that the platform owns the calendar and the payment, and InjectConsent owns the treatment record for tox and filler visits. It is duplication, so treat it as a transition rather than a permanent setup.

Does InjectConsent handle scheduling and payments?

No, and that is intentional. It records the treatment, the consent, the product and the follow up window. Keep whatever booking and payment tools already work for your front desk.

What happens to my existing charts if I move?

You export what you have and keep it as your legal record for the retention period your state requires. InjectConsent starts clean from your first visit on it. Most injectors run the old system read only rather than attempting a full migration of years of unstructured notes.

Settle it on one real filler visit

Side by side rows only take you so far, because the difference shows up on a fully booked day rather than in a feature grid. Pick one visit from last week, chart it again here while we walk you through it, and decide which version you would rather hand a state board inspector asking for consent, lot and expiration. Fifteen minutes, and nothing has to move afterward.
