THE DOCTOR

Dr. Monique Mazzuca MD, CCFP

Family Medicine, practising in non-surgical, cosmetic procedures

At a very young age, Dr. Monique Mazzuca demonstrated a keen interest in Medicine. A “medical” residency in family medicine with additional training in low risk obstetrics and minor surgical procedures. It came as no surprise to her friends and family when she decided to pursue her lifelong passion. In 2009, she commenced a residency in general practice and radiology/nuclear medicine as well as a minor in low risk obstetrics, gynecology and surgical procedures at the University of Western Ontario.

After graduating, she began extensive training in non-surgical cosmetics. Since then, she has received countless accolades and has earned several diplomas and certifications in advanced medical aesthetics. Through various courses, seminars and clinical practice, Dr. Mazzuca has had the privilege of learning from some of the most renowned surgeons, dermatologists and anatomists around the world. With a lifelong commitment to her field, she continues to broaden her training alongside international plastic surgeons in Canada, Paris, Dubai, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States. Here in Canada, she trained at Mount Sinai anatomy labs in order to elevate her education on safe methods of injection. In addition, she has participated in several masterclasses with world renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Arthur Swift as well as head and neck surgeon, Dr. Jack Kolenda.

Her years of training have led her to an approach that prioritizes safety, efficacy and natural results. She truly cares, she has an eye for beauty, and she believes that injecting is an art as much as it is a science. Dr. Mazzuca prides herself on her creative and precise style as well as her ability to implement objective measurements that yield the most natural results. Her training continues under the Canadian Association of Medical Aesthetics, Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine, Canadian Association of Aesthetic medicine, International Master Course on Aging Science and through Harvard University, Laser and Aesthetic Skin Therapy.
