2. It’s purpose-designed for med spas

Your business needs software that understands your daily challenges and is built to give your clients the experience they deserve.

It supports medical-related patient journeys with automated pre-care and aftercare emails, before-and-after photos, injection plotting, customizable forms, and so on.

3. Offers a built-in EHR system

Meevo doesn't have an EHR, meaning you'll have to integrate with a separate tool to manage client records. Pabau has an integrated EHR system included, allowing seamless access to your client's medical history at all times. This also enables you go fully paperless, saving you tons of time. With it, you’ll have insight into your patient data and operational data side by side.

Since Pabau is also a great fit for clinics, it has an e-prescription feature that allows you to prescribe medication directly from the system.

In contrast, Meevo’s main focus is providing business management for salons and spas, its software doesn’t offer an e-prescription feature.

Making an error such as forgetting to get an intake signed, not taking photos, or not sending aftercare can all happen.
