Your Bank Wasn't Built For Your Clinic. Vellis Is.
Hair restoration clinics face payment restrictions, account freezes and banking friction that generic providers aren't equipped to handle. Vellis provides payment processing and business banking directly - built for high-value procedures, international patients and the commercial realities of specialist aesthetic medicine.
No intermediaries. You work directly with Vellis.
A high-growth specialist sector that mainstream financial providers consistently misclassify.
Yet most payment processors still apply blanket healthcare restrictions to hair restoration clinics without reviewing their clinical profile.
Your payment infrastructure needs to scale with one of the fastest-growing aesthetic medicine sectors.
A sector this commercially active deserves better than generic banking.
The Real Problem
Hair restoration clinics - offering FUE, FUT, PRP treatments and emerging hair science protocols - operate in a commercial space that mainstream banks and payment processors have never been designed to serve. Here's what that costs you.
Your payment processor flags your account because of your treatment categories.
Hair restoration clinics are frequently caught in the same healthcare payment restrictions applied across the medical aesthetic sector. Whether you perform FUE transplants, PRP injections or emerging cell therapy protocols, automated risk systems apply blanket healthcare logic without any understanding of your clinical environment. Accounts get flagged, payments stop, and you're managing a payment crisis on top of a clinical schedule.
Collecting procedure deposits from international patients creates friction.
Hair restoration is among the most internationally active medical aesthetic sectors - patients travel globally for procedures. Collecting deposits and pre-payments from international patients with mainstream providers exposes you to FX costs, settlement delays and dispute risk. The patients who represent your highest-value revenue are precisely the ones that generic payment infrastructure handles worst.
High-value single procedures don't fit standard payment processing frameworks.
Hair restoration procedures are characterised by high average transaction values and lower frequency - different from the recurring appointment model of many clinics. Generic processors apply risk frameworks designed for high-frequency, lower-value retail transactions and flag high-value, infrequent medical procedures as unusual. Your standard billing pattern looks like a red flag.
Multi-location and international clinic operations create banking gridlock.
Hair restoration groups opening clinics across different countries - or clinics serving patients who travel from multiple jurisdictions - face the same banking rebuild every time they expand. Each new market means a new banking process, new compliance reviews and new operational delays while your clinical capacity sits ready.
