About

Catara Med Spa is a med spa that opened in 2014 in a Victorian house in Algonquin's downtown. Its location is within walking distance of the Fox River and of the Main Street shops and restaurants. The business is independent and women-owned. The business says it has served McHenry County and the northwest suburbs for more than a decade.

Clients travel from McHenry and Kane Counties and nearby Cook County suburbs, including Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Cary, Huntley, Elgin, Barrington and Schaumburg. Every visit starts with a consultation that covers goals, the treatment area and health history, including current medications and lifestyle factors. Facial and injectable treatments are recommended at that consultation rather than picked from a fixed menu.

Treatment plans are built over time with the client rather than sold as packages. The business states that it does not upsell and will say so if a treatment is not right for someone. Each injectable is a medical procedure, with risks and aftercare reviewed by the provider beforehand, and laser and energy treatments come with aftercare and sun-protection guidance.

Injectables include Botox and Xeomin, which the business describes Xeomin as its preferred wrinkle relaxer, along with dermal fillers for cheeks, midface, chin, jawline, under-eyes and lips, Radiesse, Kybella, lip flip, PRP injections and hyperhidrosis treatment.

A consultation determines whether someone is a candidate. Corporate wellness programs with group workshops and individual coaching are offered to local businesses. Spa services include waxing and sugaring, ear piercing and teeth whitening, with take-home kits for touch-ups between in-office sessions.

Treatments are recommended after a consultation, with the aim of natural-looking results that keep a client looking like themselves. The business uses FDA-cleared medical devices for body contouring and wellness treatments, and providers attend ongoing training on techniques, safety protocols and new options.

A Victorian building in historic downtown Algonquin, close to the river, with free street parking nearby and elevator access.
