About Aesthetic Compliance Experts
About ACE
Aesthetic Compliance Experts (ACE) was founded by Amber Bechthold, a licensed aesthetician and experienced clinical leader in the medical aesthetics industry. Amber brings over 10+ years of experience in aesthetic practice operations and over a decade of compliance and regulatory experience. Our mission is to trade compliance fear for confidence so that every provider can protect their license, focus on the work they set out to do, and build something they are proud of.
Compliance can feel overwhelming, and no provider should face it alone. ACE integrates expertise from medical providers and legal counsel familiar with healthcare regulations, ensuring resources keep your clinic fully compliant. Our solutions are state-specific, comprehensive, and adaptable to your wellness clinic. Whether you’re launching your first aesthetic clinic or cleaning up years of DIY guesswork, we’re here to simplify the process, protect your business, and help you build something you're proud of.
Don’t Risk It, Just Disc It™
The word disc says it all — it comes straight from the disc-bound system every ACE manual is built on. That format is the heart of how we work: it's what lets your compliance stay current, page by page, without ever starting over.
But the slogan means more to us than a clever play on words. We've spent years building this team and our reputation in the aesthetics industry, and we've seen firsthand what's at stake. Compliance isn't just about having a manual on the shelf — it's about having one that's current, fully implemented, and actually executed day to day. It’s about the system, not a stack. That's where the real risk lives, and that's exactly what we help you protect against.
So when the question comes up — am I truly covered? — the answer's right there on the disc.
our values
Clarity
We never hide behind jargon. If a provider can't understand it and act on it, our work isn't finished.
Care
Providers are never just files to us. We protect real people's livelihoods, and we treat that as sacred.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask the industry to meet—nothing less.
Integrity
We give honest guidance grounded in regulation—even when it isn't the easy answer. Trust is worth more than that.
Stewardship
Behind every detail is a provider's license and livelihood. We handle the small things with care so our clients don't have to.

A Message from our Founder
“I never set out to become "the compliance girl." In 2021, I began as a consultant — helping med spa owners launch and grow with confidence, blending business strategy with regulatory support. Within about a year and a half, I saw the deeper problem.
The real gap wasn't consulting — it was compliance. The industry was exploding, yet providers had nowhere to turn for clear, state-specific guidance. I knew I had to fill that void. In those early days, I printed every manual on my home printer and slid each page into a sheet protector by hand. It wasn't glamorous — but it mattered. Then I noticed my discbound planner, and it was a total God moment: what if compliance could be built this way—beautiful, efficient, scalable?
That spark became ACE — a system built with the intention to protect providers, elevate the standard, and make compliance empowering.”
