Whether you are financing a laser hair removal system, IPL device, RF body contouring unit, HIFU machine, HydraFacial device, or a full multi-device aesthetic clinic setup, we work with lenders who understand how cosmetic clinics generate revenue and how quickly aesthetic technology evolves. We help medispas, cosmetic clinics, and dermatology practices navigate chattel mortgages, finance leases, technology upgrade facilities, and multi-device bundles every day. If it is generating revenue in your treatment rooms, we can finance it.

Finance options

Which finance structure suits your clinic?

The right structure depends on how long you plan to use each device, how quickly the technology will be superseded, and your GST position. Cosmetic equipment finance is unique because technology refresh cycles are short and the lease versus own decision carries more weight than in most other equipment categories.

Chattel mortgageMost popular

You own the equipment from day one. Claim depreciation and interest as tax deductions. Best for devices with long commercial lives, equipment you plan to run for 7 or more years, or high-throughput workhorses that generate consistent revenue regardless of how new the technology is.

Finance lease

Lender owns it, you use it. Fixed lease payments are fully deductible as expenses. Particularly well suited to cosmetic devices with fast technology cycles. At end of term, upgrade to the next generation without being locked into equipment that may be commercially outdated.

Commercial hire purchase

Hire now, own at the end. Fixed repayments over the term, ownership transfers on final payment. Interest is deductible. A solid middle ground for established clinics that want a predictable payment and eventual ownership of devices with long commercial lives.

Operating leaseTechnology refresh

Return or upgrade at end of term. Available for specific cosmetic devices where technology evolves rapidly. Lease payments are fully deductible and you take on no residual value risk at end of term. Ideal for fast-evolving laser and RF platforms.

Multi-device bundle

Finance multiple devices under one facility. Clinic-wide upgrades across laser, IPL, body contouring, and skin analysis systems can be bundled into a single facility with one monthly repayment. Often unlocks better rates than financing each device individually.

Low-doc healthcare loan

No full financials required. For newer cosmetic clinics without up-to-date financial statements. Bank statements, BAS, and a revenue summary from your booking system or point of sale are often sufficient for clinics with 6 or more months of clear trade revenue.

Ownership vs technology lease

Owning your devices versus staying current with technology

This is the most important decision in cosmetic equipment finance. Aesthetic devices have short commercial lifecycles. The finance structure you choose should reflect how long each device will remain competitive in your market.

Finance or operating lease
Chattel mortgage ownership
Finance or operating leaseStay current
Best for devices with fast technology cyclesLaser platforms, IPL systems, and RF devices are typically superseded by newer technology within 3 to 5 years. A finance lease lets you upgrade at end of term. An operating lease lets you return the device entirely.
Lease payments are fully deductibleThe full lease payment is typically deductible as a business expense rather than just the interest component, which can result in larger total annual deductions compared to a chattel mortgage in the early years.
Better matches revenue to costCosmetic device revenue depends on patient demand for that specific treatment. Leasing means when the treatment becomes less popular or the device is outdated, you are not locked into an asset with declining commercial value.
No residual headache at end of termWith an operating lease, you simply return the device. No need to sell a second-hand aesthetic machine or negotiate a residual payout. The lender takes the asset risk.
Chattel mortgage ownershipLong-life devices
Best for devices with long commercial livesSome aesthetic devices remain commercially competitive for 10 or more years: HydraFacial, LED therapy panels, microneedling platforms, and well-supported laser brands with modular upgrade paths. For these, ownership makes more financial sense than leasing.
Depreciation and interest both deductibleGST-registered clinics claim the full GST upfront on their next BAS, then deduct depreciation and interest across the loan term. The instant asset write-off can also apply in profitable years.
Asset builds equity over timeOwning a well-maintained aesthetic device gives you a sellable asset. High-demand devices like certain laser platforms retain strong resale value.
Lower long-term cost than leasingOver the full life of the device, ownership through a chattel mortgage typically costs less than a lease facility. If you are confident the device will remain relevant and productive, ownership is usually more cost-effective.
Tax benefits

Tax benefits of financing cosmetic equipment in Australia

Cosmetic and aesthetic clinic revenue is generally fully GST-applicable, which simplifies the tax treatment compared to medical practices with mixed billing. Here is what your clinic can typically claim.

01
Interest deductions on chattel mortgage
The interest component of chattel mortgage repayments is deductible as a business expense, reducing taxable clinic income across the full loan term. For high-revenue cosmetic clinics, this combined with depreciation substantially reduces the real after-tax cost of the equipment.
02
Depreciation and instant asset write-off
As the owner of the device under a chattel mortgage, your clinic claims annual depreciation. Under temporary full expensing rules, eligible businesses may write off the full cost of new cosmetic equipment in the year of purchase. For a multi-device purchase at $185,000 or more, this can be a very significant year-one tax deduction.
03
GST input tax credit claimed upfront
GST-registered cosmetic clinics can claim the full GST on equipment purchases on their next BAS. Unlike some medical services, cosmetic and aesthetic treatments are generally fully GST-applicable, which means the full input tax credit is available. On a $185,000 device purchase that is over $16,800 back in your cash flow immediately.
04
Lease payments fully deductible
Under a finance or operating lease, the full lease payment is typically deductible as a business expense rather than just the interest component. For cosmetic clinics with strong revenue in the first few years of a device, this can result in larger annual deductions than a chattel mortgage in the early years.
05
Technology refresh and depreciation strategy
Cosmetic devices depreciate quickly both in value and commercial relevance. Aligning your depreciation strategy with the actual useful commercial life of each device can be advantageous. Your accountant can advise on the most appropriate depreciation method for specific aesthetic equipment categories.
Eligibility

Who qualifies for cosmetic equipment finance?

Cosmetic and aesthetic equipment finance is accessible to cosmetic clinics, medispas, dermatology practices, and beauty clinics. The pathway depends on your trading history and business structure.

New cosmetic clinics and medispas
Cosmetic clinics with 6 to 12 months of trading and clear revenue from booking software or point of sale systems can often access equipment finance through specialist aesthetic lenders. A signed lease, treatment menu, and revenue summary are typically sufficient for first device purchases.
ABN & GST registration
An active ABN is required. GST registration is needed to claim the full GST input tax credit on equipment purchases. Most cosmetic clinic revenue is GST-applicable, unlike some medical services.
Established clinics and multi-location groups
Clinics with 12 or more months of trading history, multi-location groups, and franchise cosmetic clinic operators have access to the full range of lenders and structures.
Low-doc pathways for clinic owners
No up-to-date financials? Bank statements, BAS, and point-of-sale revenue reports are often sufficient for established clinics. Aesthetic industry lenders understand that cosmetic clinic revenue is appointment-driven.
Dermatology practices and medispas
Dermatologists, plastic surgeons with device suites, and medispas with a mix of clinical and aesthetic treatments all qualify. Lenders assess the revenue-generating capacity of the specific devices being financed.
No property security required
Cosmetic equipment finance is asset-secured in most structures. The device itself is the collateral, so you do not need to use your home or clinic premises as security.

FAQ

Cosmetic equipment finance FAQ

What cosmetic equipment can EasyAsset finance?+
We finance all major cosmetic and aesthetic equipment including laser hair removal machines, IPL devices, radiofrequency body contouring systems, CoolSculpting and cryolipolysis units, HIFU machines, skin analysis and imaging systems, HydraFacial devices, LED therapy panels, microneedling systems, laser resurfacing equipment, and injectable storage. Both individual devices and multi-device clinic setups.
Can I finance cosmetic equipment if my clinic is relatively new?+
Yes. Cosmetic clinics and medispas with 6 to 12 months trading history and a clear revenue profile can access equipment finance through specialist aesthetic industry lenders. Low-doc pathways using bank statements and BAS are available for clinics without full financial statements.
Should I own my cosmetic equipment or use a lease?+
This is the key decision in cosmetic equipment finance. Cosmetic devices depreciate quickly and are often superseded by newer technology within 3 to 5 years. A finance lease or operating lease lets you return or upgrade equipment at end of term, avoiding ownership of an asset that may be commercially outdated even if it still functions. For clinics that plan to use equipment for its full working life, chattel mortgage with ownership and depreciation claims may be preferable.
Can I bundle multiple cosmetic devices into one finance facility?+
Yes. Multiple devices from different manufacturers can be bundled into a single finance facility, giving you one monthly repayment rather than multiple loan accounts. This simplifies cash flow management and may unlock better rates than financing each device individually.
What are the tax benefits of financing cosmetic equipment?+
Under a chattel mortgage, cosmetic clinics can claim depreciation and interest deductions. GST-registered clinics claim the full GST on their next BAS. Lease payments are typically fully deductible as business expenses. Under current instant asset write-off rules, eligible businesses may write off the full equipment cost in the year of purchase.
Why do cosmetic clinics choose EasyAsset for equipment finance?+
We understand the aesthetics and cosmetic industry including rapid technology cycles, the lease versus own decision, and the importance of matching finance terms to equipment useful life. We compare 50+ lenders in a single application, including those familiar with aesthetic clinic revenue models and device depreciation profiles.
