About Us

Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka (MAOM) was founded in 2013 by Dr. Kersti Kents, who at the time was working full-time in the emergency department in Bracebridge. She launched MAOM out of a single room at Zcizzorz Salon, balancing her clinical work in emergency medicine with her growing interest in cosmetic and aesthetic treatments. Her love of aesthetic medicine eventually reignited her interest in dermatology.

Driven to deepen her expertise, Dr. Kents completed a Diploma in Practical Dermatology through Queen Mary University in London in 2018, followed by advanced mentorship in 2019. That same year, she began treating patients for medical skin disorders, establishing MAOM as Muskoka’s first local skin disorders specialist option. Since then, the clinic has grown to a full-service medical aesthetics and dermatology centre, staffed by a passionate team and equipped with industry-leading technology beyond Botox and injectable fillers, including PRP, PRF, microneedling, and plasma therapies. Today, MAOM continues to deliver safe, natural-looking results tailored to each client’s goals—with the vision of becoming Muskoka’s Centre of Plasma Excellence.

At MAOM, clients receive highly individualized care from an expert team led by Dr. Kents—an Associate Professor and respected member of several professional medical organizations. The team brings a wide range of qualifications and experience, from dermatology and nursing to medical aesthetics and administrative excellence. United by a shared dedication to quality care, safety, and natural results, the team works together to ensure each client feels confident, refreshed, and cared for.

Dr. Kersti Kents is the visionary behind Medical Aesthetics of Muskoka. She began her career in Emergency Medicine in 2005, working full-time in the ER at South Muskoka Memorial Hospital until the end of 2020. In 2013, while still practicing emergency medicine, she founded MAOM to explore her passion for aesthetic medicine. Her growing interest in this discipline of medicine eventually reignited her long-standing fascination with dermatology. In 2018, she completed a Diploma in Practical Dermatology through Queen Mary University in London, followed by a year of high-level mentorship with Canadian dermatologists. In 2019, she expanded her practice to include skin care disorders, offering Muskoka a much-needed local option for the diagnosis and management of skin conditions.

Always striving to bring the best aesthetic medicine options to her clientele, she continues to expand her expertise through specialized training, including Plasma technology and Julie Horne’s Lip Mastery program. Under her leadership, the clinic has introduced cutting-edge systems such as Plexr Plus and Neogen. She is proud to help establish MAOM as Muskoka’s Centre of Plasma Excellence.

Dr. Kents is dedicated to helping clients achieve natural, rejuvenated results using individualized treatment plans tailored to facial anatomy, goals, and budget. Her work emphasizes safety, comfort, and confidentiality, and she personally performs or oversees all treatments to the highest clinical standard.

  • Canadian Association of Aesthetic Medicine
  • Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians
  • College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario
  • College of Family Physicians of Canada

She is also an Associate Professor at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and was honored with a Special Recognition Award for Teaching in 2013.
