Why This Matters for Body Sculpting Techs

She wipes down the cavitation handpiece, refills the ultrasound gel, and checks her log to see which clients are due back for their next session in a package. First in is a bride three weeks out who wants her midsection tightened before the dress fitting; she takes circumference measurements at the navel and two inches above, snaps the before photo, then runs forty minutes of radiofrequency followed by lymphatic vacuum to flush what the cavitation broke loose. She reminds the bride to drink water and skip alcohol so the body can metabolize the released fat. Between clients she fields a text from someone who skipped two weeks and wants to know if her results 'went away.' After lunch a man comes in for wood therapy on his flanks; the maderoterapia rollers leave him sore the way a deep massage does, and she walks him through the spacing rules for his package. She freezes a fat pad on a returning client with the cryo applicator, sets the timer, and uses the cycle to update her measurement chart. By evening she's reconciling which sessions belong to which prepaid package and chasing one client whose card declined on the second installment.

Body Sculpting Techs face unique challenges: Selling and tracking multi-session packages (often 6-10 treatments) so a client doesn't show up for session 9 when they only paid for 8. Managing the strict 72-hour-apart spacing between cavitation sessions on the same area without double-booking the same body zone. Documenting consent forms, contraindications (pregnancy, pacemakers, recent surgery) and circumference measurements for every cycle. Setting realistic before/after expectations so clients understand fat reduction is gradual, not same-day, and don't dispute the charge. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Body Sculpting Tech earns $35,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Cryolipolysis (fat-freeze) applicator handset with gel pads is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Square replacement for body sculpting techs?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Square may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Square is $29/month — that's $1,168 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Square data?

Export your data from Square as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
