Medical Spa Treatments for Lake in the Hills Clients
Every treatment at Catara is administered by a licensed provider with clinical training specific to that service. We do not delegate injectable, laser, or medical procedures to unlicensed staff. Below are the four treatment areas most frequently requested by our Lake in the Hills clients.
Injectables and Neurotoxins Near Lake in the Hills
Catara Med Spa offers customizable injectable treatments to Lake in the Hills clients with a clinical approach that prioritizes natural movement over frozen results. Our preferred neurotoxin is Xeomin
a pure, preservative-free wrinkle relaxer with no accessory proteins. For clients who have built a tolerance to other neurotoxins, or who prefer a cleaner alternative, Xeomin is a compelling choice.
In addition to Xeomin, our licensed injectors offer dermal fillers for volume restoration and contouring, and PRP therapy for natural collagen stimulation. Every injectable plan begins with a structured facial consultation and assessment of your anatomy.
Why We Lead With Xeomin
Xeomin contains only the active botulinum toxin A molecule. There are no complexing proteins that may trigger an immune response over time. For clients seeking a clinically clean neurotoxin with precise, predictable relaxation, Xeomin is our first recommendation.
Laser Treatments and Skin Tightening Near Lake in the Hills
Catara’s laser and energy-based treatments are performed by our Candela-certified laser technicians. We use two primary platforms to address a wide range of skin concerns for Lake in the Hills clients.
GentleMax Pro Laser Hair Removal and Photofacial
The Candela GentleMax Pro is our preferred system for laser hair removal and photofacial treatments. It combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing our clinicians to treat a wide range of skin types and tones safely and effectively including Fitzpatrick skin types I–V.
Laser hair removal sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Most clients return to daily activity immediately following treatment. Results vary by individual.
Sylfirm X RF Microneedling and Skin Tightening
Sylfirm X is our advanced radiofrequency microneedling platform. It uses pulsed electromagnetic energy delivered through ultra-fine needles to target the dermis, stimulate fibroblast activity, and trigger controlled collagen remodeling. Sylfirm X is clinically validated for pigmentation reduction, skin texture improvement, and measurable skin tightening including periorbital and subdermal areas that many devices cannot safely reach.
Body Contouring and Wellness Treatments for Lake in the Hills Clients
Body Contouring and Pelvic Health Near Lake in the Hills
Catara’s body treatment suite uses FDA-cleared energy-based devices to address both aesthetic and functional concerns without surgery, anesthesia, or extended recovery time.
Emsculpt Neo Non-Invasive Muscle Toning
Emsculpt Neo uses simultaneous HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy) and radiofrequency to induce supramaximal muscle contractions while reducing localized fat in the same session. It is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs. Lake in the Hills clients use Emsculpt Neo to strengthen their core, define the glutes, and address areas resistant to conventional exercise. Results vary by individual.
Emsella Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive chair-based treatment that delivers HIFEM energy to the entire pelvic floor musculature. A single 28-minute session induces thousands of pelvic floor contractions the equivalent of an extensive Kegel exercise program. Emsella is used by both men and women to address stress urinary incontinence, pelvic floor laxity, and related functional concerns.
Medical Weight Loss and Wellness Near Lake in the Hills
Catara’s medical weight loss program is clinically supervised and individually tailored. Our protocols combine GLP-1 medications including semaglutide and tirzepatide with personalized nutrition coaching from Jeanne Foote, our NASM-certified nutrition coach, and body composition tracking over time.
This is not a pill-and-portal program. Every client begins with a clinical assessment to determine candidacy, set realistic goals, and build a supervised plan that addresses the root drivers of weight gain not just the number on a scale.
Why Lake in the Hills Clients Choose Catara Med Spa
Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinical Oversight
Catara is led by Stefanie Drozd, NP, an Adult Health Nurse Practitioner with a BSN from Loyola University Chicago and an MSN in Adult Health, with over 10 years of experience in medical aesthetics. Every injectable and clinical protocol at Catara operates under nurse practitioner oversight not unlicensed staff with a weekend certification.
A Specialist Team With Focused Credentials
Jeanne Foote, our clinic manager, holds licensure as an aesthetician in Illinois, certification from Candela Medical as a laser technician, NASM certification as a nutrition coach, and Face Reality certification as an acne specialist. Lily Zelaya, RN, is a registered nurse and aesthetic injector with a BSN from Purdue University, specializing in neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and GLP-1 weight loss protocols.
Xeomin The Clean Neurotoxin
Catara positions Xeomin as our primary neurotoxin because it contains only the active botulinum toxin A molecule no accessory proteins, no preservatives, no unnecessary additives. For clients who want a precise, clinically clean wrinkle relaxer, this distinction matters. Our injectors will walk you through the comparison and help you choose the right product for your anatomy and history.
