"Strax Rejuvenation has teamed in an exclusive relationship with a finance company to provide credit to patients with FICO scores as low as 515," says the office's latest news release. "Patients who never thought they would qualify are now having their procedures and making low monthly payments."

Strax, a popular nip-and-tuck office in Lauderhill, contracts with a rotating roster of doctors who have performed 30,000 surgeries in the past seven years, according to Strax's owners. Four people have died after undergoing procedures there.

"This liberalizes financing and opens possibilities where none existed," the news release says.

Yes, it certainly does.
