Acne Clinic is a skincare service that treats pimples and skin breakouts. It involves assessment by a clinician, personalized treatment plans, and may include advice on cleansing, medications, and follow-up visits to improve skin condition.

Acne facial

+

An acne facial is a skincare treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and treats clogged pores and pimples with gentle cleansing, extraction, exfoliation, masks, and sometimes a special acne-fighting product to reduce oil and redness.

Acne treatments

+

Acne treatments are skin care options that help clear pimples and prevent breakouts. They may include topical medicines, prescription creams, or light therapies, used to clean pores, reduce oil, kill bacteria, and improve skin texture over time.

Anti-aging facial

+

Anti-aging facial is a skincare treatment that helps reduce signs of aging. It usually includes cleansing, exfoliation, masks, massage, and sometimes serums or extractions to hydrate, brighten, smooth the skin, and improve texture and firmness.

Basic facial

+

A Basic facial is a gentle cleansing, exfoliating, steaming, and masking treatment to cleanse pores, remove impurities, and refresh the skin, often followed by hydration and light massage for a fresh, smoother complexion.

Biorevitalization Peels

+

Biorevitalization Peels are gentle skin treatments that use specialized acids and nutrients to hydrate, plump, and refresh the skin, improving texture and glow. The procedure typically includes cleansing, peeling, infusion, and a soothing finish.

Botox

+

Botox is a treatment where tiny amounts of a purified toxin are injected to relax facial muscles, reducing wrinkles. It’s quick, usually takes a few minutes, with mild soreness and temporary results that last several months.

Chemical Peels

+

Chemical Peels use a solution applied to the skin to remove top layers, helping improve texture, tone, and fine lines. The treatment involves cleansing, applying the peel, and soothing afterward, with varying depths and recovery times.

Chemical peels

+

Chemical peels use a chemical solution to remove the outer skin layer, helping to improve texture, tone, and minor acne. The procedure involves applying the solution, allowing it to work, and a neutralizing step, with varying depth and recovery time.

Cold wax hair removal

+

Cold wax hair removal uses a ready-to-apply wax that hardens on the skin, then lifted away to remove hair from the root. It’s quick, low-mess, suitable for sensitive areas, and may cause temporary irritation or redness after use.

Custom Facials

+

Custom Facials are personalized skincare treatments that assess your skin’s needs and use tailored products and techniques to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and protect, aiming to improve texture, tone, and overall glow.

Dermaplaning

+

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic exfoliation where a trained professional gently shaves the outer skin surface with a scalpel to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, leaving smoother skin and a brighter complexion.

EMSCULPT NEO

+

EMSCULPT NEO is a body-contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to build muscle and burn fat in targeted areas, typically over a few short sessions with no surgery or downtime.

EMSELLA

+

EMSELLA is a non-surgical treatment that uses a chair-like device to deliver electrical stimulation to pelvic floor muscles, helping strengthen them. A typical session lasts about 28 minutes and involves seated therapy without pain or downtime.

Eyebrow threading

+

Eyebrow threading is a hair removal method using a twisted cotton thread to pluck stray hairs along the brow shape. It’s quick, precise, and typically gentler on skin than wax, leaving a clean, defined arch.

Facial And Body Rejuvenation

+

Facial And Body Rejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment that refreshes the skin and body by reducing signs of aging, improving texture, and promoting glow through non-surgical procedures like facials, peels, and body smoothing techniques.

Growth Factor Therapy

+

Growth Factor Therapy is a medical treatment that uses natural or synthetic proteins to stimulate tissue growth and healing. It typically involves injections or topical applications to boost cell growth, repair damaged tissue, and support recovery after injury or surgery.

HydraFacial MD is a skincare treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and nourishes the skin with serums in a quick, non-invasive facial session.

Injectables

+

Laser Photofacial

+

A laser photofacial is a skin treatment using focused light to target sun damage, redness, and uneven tone. It involves cleansing the skin, applying a cooling gel, delivering light pulses, and a brief post-treatment care routine to help fade spots and improve texture.

Laser Skin Tightening

+

Laser Skin Tightening uses focused light to heat the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen to firm and smooth the face or area treated. It involves brief painless sessions, little to no downtime, and gradual improvement over weeks to months.

Laser hair removal

+

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, slowing or stopping growth. A technician applies a handheld device on the skin, may use cooling or gel, and sessions are brief with multiple visits for best results.

Mesotherapy

+

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic treatment where tiny injections of vitamins, minerals, and medicines are placed under the skin to rejuvenate, hydrate, or target fat and cellulite.

Microblading

+

Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that uses a tiny blade to create hair-like strokes on the eyebrow area, implanting pigment beneath the skin to enhance shape and fullness. Results look natural but require care and may fade over time.

Microneedling

+

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small, controlled skin wounds, prompting the body to heal. A device or roller is rolled across the skin, sometimes with serums, to boost collagen and improve texture, appearance, and firmness with minimal downtime.

PRF

+

PRF stands for platelet-rich fibrin, a painless blood concentrate used in medical and dental care to speed healing. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it to concentrate healing factors, and placing the resulting fibrin clot at the treatment site.

Skin Rejuvenation + Microneedling

+

Skin Rejuvenation + Microneedling combines tiny needles with guided serums to stimulate collagen, reduce fine lines, and improve texture. The treatment uses controlled punctures to boost your skin’s natural healing, resulting in smoother, brighter skin over a series of sessions.

Teeth Whitening

+

Vein Removal

+

The staff is very professional and welcoming, the spa is immaculate and the service provided was superb! Loren is my esthetician and she explains every step of the process during the treatment, as well as let’s me know what to expect for my skin in the days to follow. I look forward to returning again soon and highly recommend Catara Medspa to anybody looking for a high quality service at a great value and an all around enjoyable experience!

Moved back to Chicago from Las Vegas in December & I was in search for a Medspa in the city. With the help of Socialite Media they put me in touch with CaTara Medspa. First off, loved the location! I’m super fond of the Gold Coast area. When I arrived I was greeted by the extremely sweet owner Cathy, she was so hospitable and is passionate about her business & I completely support that being a business owner myself. They took good precautions for COVID & the spa was very clean & cute! My customized facial was with Loren, who was very knowledgeable about skin and advised me to take on a new regimen (which I’ve been wanting to do). I had a great experience at their spa & look forward to going again! Post facial I woke up with glowing and clear skin! I love my new products from their line and it’s been almost a week. I’m going to continue using them and look forward to the results! Thank you CaTara Medspa!

The most wonderful experience. I had a fabulous hydro facial by Hannah, it was the most relaxing and revitalizing experience. I then had laser hair removal once by Hannah and once by Lauren. Both knew their stuff and made it the most easy and painless experience. Top notch technology and staff. Cannot wait to come back!!

I had never done a facial before and this place exceeded all of my expectations. Hannah is wonderful and truly has a gift for making her customers feel beautiful while providing honest feedback and customized recommendations. When I signed up for a chemical peel on ClassPass, I had no intention of being a monthly facial girl -- but I am sold. Thank you CaTara Spa. Can't wait to see you in June!

Hannah was so caring and thorough in my consultation. At no time did I feel pressured to purchase additional services and the treatment plan we put together works perfectly for my needs and with my budget. The facility was lovely and smelled so good! I felt safe and pampered and proactive about my self care! I am soooo coming back!

I adore absolutely everything about CaTara! From the warm welcome you get when you walk in the door, to the ambience and lovely decor, to the professionals who make you feel like you’re friends! This place is now my go to spot for all of my beauty needs! My esthetician was Hannah, she has such a bubbly, warm personality. She talked me through everything she was doing, and made me feel so comfortable. Before coming in I was feeling like an ugly duckling, after my service with Hannah I’ve transformed into a beautiful swan. I’ll definitely be back.

Loren was amazing! She was so kind and explained what I need for my skincare routine - which I’ve clearly been doing wrong! The whole experience was calming and soothing. My skin feels clean, clear and revived from the facial I received! Do yourself a favor and schedule yourself a service and show yourself some self-love! I can’t wait to come back!!

Both Catara locations are beautiful and relaxing. I love the Hydrafacial as well as microneedling. The technicians are personable and make every procedure comfortable and satisfying. After being to many skin spas all over, I can tell you Catara is better than any of them. Always my first choice when my skin needs a boost!

I'm not one for writing reviews but a review is the least I can do for Juanita and the wonderful time I had at CaTara Spa. I have VERY sensitive skin and she did an amazing job during the clarifying HydraFacial. I've worked with her for previous skincare-related issues and all I can say is trust this woman with your skin if you want to look 5 to 10 years younger.
