Question 1

Is PixioDoc better than RxPhoto for non-aesthetic specialties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PixioDoc is designed for all visual clinical specialties — dermatology, wound care, orthopedics, plastic surgery, and primary care — not just aesthetics. RxPhoto is optimized for aesthetic practices and medspas, which means it lacks features and workflows relevant to other specialties.

Question 2

Why does RxPhoto require a demo call?

Accepted Answer

RxPhoto follows an enterprise sales model with custom pricing and onboarding. This works for larger practices but creates friction for solo clinicians who want to try a tool quickly. PixioDoc offers self-serve signup with a free tier so clinicians can start documenting immediately.

Question 3

Which app is better for EU-based practices?

Accepted Answer

PixioDoc hosts primary clinical data in the EU/EEA, with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and audit trails. That is a factual fit for an EU practice. It does not, by itself, make the practice compliant. Your overall compliance depends on how you use the tool, your lawful basis, and patient consent. RxPhoto is primarily US-focused. Confirm where they host data before you rely on them for EU residency.

Question 4

Does PixioDoc have marketing gallery features like RxPhoto?

Accepted Answer

No. PixioDoc is built for the clinical record, not marketing galleries or consent forms. RxPhoto is the better fit if marketing-ready before-and-after galleries are the job. On Pro and Teams, PixioDoc generates a PDF from selected individual photos for a patient or referrer. RxPhoto does not offer that same handoff.

Question 5

Can PixioDoc generate patient progress reports for referrers?

Accepted Answer

On Pro and Teams, you select individual photos from a patient's timeline and generate a PDF for a referrer, patient, or colleague. Comparison layouts stay in the app. You choose what is included before anything is shared. RxPhoto addresses the same moment through marketing galleries rather than a clinician-curated PDF.
