The cosmetic and plastic surgery industry continues to grow rapidly, but traditional banks and mainstream processors still classify these businesses as high risk. High-ticket procedures, medical financing, refund sensitivities, and regulatory requirements often lead to rejected applications, frozen funds, or sudden shutdowns on platforms like Stripe, PayPal, and Square.
At Vector Payments, we help cosmetic practices, aesthetic clinics, medspas, and plastic surgeons accept payments securely, compliantly, and without interruption, so you can focus on providing exceptional patient care.
Key Summary
Cosmetic and plastic surgery providers often struggle with payment processing due to high average transaction amounts, medical-liability considerations, recurring treatments, and strict compliance standards.
Vector Payments delivers stable, HIPAA conscious, high-risk merchant accounts tailored for cosmetic surgery centers, aesthetic clinics, medspas, and elective medical practices giving you seamless payments, predictable revenue, and long-term stability.
Why Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Businesses Struggle With Payment Processing
Most mainstream processors prioritize low-ticket, low-liability transactions. Elective medical procedures, even when fully compliant, create underwriting challenges. Common pain points include:
- Automatic denials for high-ticket services
- Funding delays and 90-day reserve holds
- Chargebacks from patient dissatisfaction or scheduling changes
- Inconsistent rules around medical procedures and liability
- Higher fraud monitoring and dispute scrutiny
- Requirements for enhanced compliance documentation
- Restrictions on recurring payments for treatment plans
If your practice has faced any of these issues, you’re not alone.
