Skincare Tailored to Men’s Unique Needs
At CATARA Med Spa in Algonquin, our Gentleman’s Facial is more than a spa treatment—it’s a strategic approach to skincare made for male skin. With thicker texture, larger pores, and the impact of daily shaving, men’s skin needs something more targeted than generic facials.
Whether you’re battling breakouts, dryness, razor bumps, or simply want a refreshed look, our facials are designed to work with your lifestyle and deliver visible, lasting results.
Why Men Should Get Facials
Not Just for Women—Skincare Is for Everyone
Men’s skin is biologically different—more oil production, rougher texture, and daily stress from shaving or the elements. Our facials are built to combat those exact concerns in a professional, judgment-free space.

What the Gentleman’s Facial Treats
- Skin dryness or flakiness
- Irritation or razor burn
- Clogged pores or blackheads
- Dull, tired skin tone
- Fine lines, early wrinkles, and rough texture
This is more than just a spa day—it’s skincare with purpose.
