HELIX financing FAQ
Can I finance a HELIX in Canada?
Yes. Aesthetic Capital arranges financing and leasing for the HELIX by DEKA for Canadian clinics, med spas, and practices. All credit profiles are considered, and approvals typically take 24 hours to one week, on approved credit.
Can I finance a used or refurbished HELIX?
Yes. New, demo, certified pre-owned, and refurbished units all qualify. Used equipment is subject to inspection and clear title, and in some cases slightly shorter maximum terms.
What do lenders look for when financing a HELIX?
Lenders weigh the revenue the device will generate, your credit story, time in business, and the resale strength of the platform. We package the full picture for our funding partner, not just the credit score.
Can a new clinic qualify for HELIX financing?
Often, yes. New practices are considered on the owner's personal credit, industry experience, and the device's treatment economics. A larger first payment or a shorter term can offset limited operating history.
What is the HELIX used for?
The HELIX is used for Ablative + non-ablative resurfacing. It is positioned as a revenue-generating platform: clinics price treatments so income covers the monthly payment.
How fast is approval?
Most files receive a decision within 24 hours to one week. When banks decline on structure, not character, we take a second look and package the file for our funding partner LeaseVantage.
