IT for plastic surgery & aesthetics

Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic IT Solutions.

Specialized IT for Los Angeles plastic surgery, cosmetic, and med spa practices: protecting sensitive patient photos, keeping your EHR and schedule running on procedure days, and meeting both HIPAA and California's CMIA. Built for practices where discretion and uptime aren't optional.

What we deliver

IT built for aesthetic practices.

From single-surgeon Beverly Hills practices to multi-location med spa groups, we deliver IT designed around how aesthetic medicine actually operates: visual records, elective cash-pay revenue, and a patient base that expects total privacy.

HIPAA + CMIA Compliant Infrastructure

Security and documentation that satisfy both federal HIPAA and California's stricter Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, which most national MSPs overlook.

Secure Clinical Photo Management

Before-and-after images are PHI. We lock down where they're captured, stored, and shared: encrypted, access-controlled, and audit-logged across devices.

Procedure-Day Uptime

When your OR and treatment rooms are booked solid, your EHR, scheduling, and imaging can't go down. 24/7 monitoring and a 15-minute emergency response keep the day moving.

Discreet, VIP-Ready Support

High-profile patients demand confidentiality. Our team is built for white-glove, low-noise support that protects your reputation as much as your data.

The full stack

Comprehensive aesthetic-practice IT.

Specialized solutions tailored to the unique workflows of plastic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and medical aesthetics.

Practice Management & EHR Support

Seamless support for the platforms aesthetic practices actually run on.

  • Nextech, Symplast, Modernizing Medicine (EMA), PatientNow, Aesthetic Record & Tebra
  • EHR implementation, migration, and integration
  • Online booking, consult-to-treatment, and recall workflows
  • Backup and rapid recovery so a crash never costs you a procedure day

Clinical Photo & Media Protection

Treating your most sensitive asset, patient imagery, as the PHI it is.

  • Encrypted capture and storage (RxPhoto, Aesthetic Record, on-device galleries)
  • Role-based access controls and full audit trails
  • Secure sharing for consults and referrals, never personal text or email
  • Social-media and marketing-consent safeguards to prevent accidental exposure

Cash-Pay Payments & PCI Compliance

Protecting the elective, high-ticket revenue that runs your practice.

  • PCI-DSS-aligned payment handling at the front desk and online
  • Secure integration with CareCredit, Cherry, and PatientFi financing
  • Fraud and chargeback safeguards for high-value transactions
  • Segmented networks that keep payment data away from clinical systems

Cybersecurity & Patient Privacy

Advanced protection for a practice that's a high-value target.

  • Multi-factor authentication and endpoint protection across every device
  • Data encryption at rest and in transit
  • Email security and phishing defense (a top breach vector for clinics)
  • 24/7 threat detection, response, and breach-readiness

AV and in-office technology

The patient experience, built in.

Patients judge a practice by what they see and hear in the office. We design and install the audio-visual and in-office technology that makes a visit feel as considered as the result, and we support it with the rest of your IT so nothing is left to a separate vendor.

Consult-room screens

Before-and-after galleries, treatment videos and your own education content on the screen in every consult and exam room, one tap from the provider's iPad or phone.

Lobby and treatment-room audio

Sonos zones for the lobby, hallways and treatment rooms, each with its own volume and playlist, so the office sounds like your brand.

Digital check-in and consents

Patients check in and sign consents on iPads tied to your EMR, so the front desk is not retyping forms.

Private, fast Wi-Fi for patients

Guest Wi-Fi kept completely separate from clinical systems and patient photos.

Virtual consultations

Video consults that look professional, with the camera, lighting and sound in the consult room set up properly.

Cameras, alarms and door access

Verkada or UniFi cameras, alarms and card access that you check from your phone, installed alongside your IT.

Compliance we cover

Protecting patients and their photos.

  • ✓HIPAA and California CMIA
    Every practice environment built to both, with a Business Associate Agreement signed before we start.
  • ✓Patient photo security
    Before-and-after photos stored encrypted, shared only with the staff who need them, and kept off personal phones.
  • ✓Accreditation and insurance evidence
    The IT documentation surgery-center accreditation surveys and cyber-insurance applications ask for.

Us: We sign it before we touch your systems.
