Services
Comprehensive Wellness Consultation
A physician-led, in-depth consultation focused on understanding the whole person. This includes an individualized analysis of genetic, environmental, and social health risk factors, with personalized lifestyle and wellness recommendations designed to support long-term health, balance, and resilience.
Medical Aesthetic Injectable Treatments
Medical aesthetic injectable treatments are provided using evidence-based approaches and established medical standards.
Services may include botulinum toxin (Botox®), hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Skinvive™, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, where clinically appropriate.
All treatments are offered following an individualized medical assessment, with careful consideration of safety, suitability, and longer-term outcomes.
Aesthetics Consultation
A thoughtful, non-biased aesthetic assessment focused on skin health assessment, facial balance, proportion, and individual goals. Recommendations are not limited to our in house treatment options. Guidance is grounded in medical expertise and aesthetic judgment, prioritizing natural results and preservation of personal identity.
Preventive & Longevity-Focused Care
Proactive care aimed at optimizing health over time. A personalized, forward-looking medical service designed for patients who seek deeper understanding of their health. This care emphasizes prevention, early risk identification, and individualized strategies through in-depth assessment, education, and collaborative planning — supporting vitality, functional health and healthy aging with evidence-based medicine.
Joyful Glow Clinic was founded on a simple but increasingly rare principle:
Medical judgment should always come before commercial interest.
Wellness and aesthetic medicine have evolved rapidly. While innovation has expanded options for patients, it has also created confusion, pressure to “do more,” and blurred boundaries between medical care and retail sales.
At Joyful Glow Clinic, we believe patients deserve:
Clear, unbiased information
Realistic expectations
Transparent discussion of benefits, risks, and limitations
The reassurance that not every concern requires a procedure
Our role is not to sell treatments, but to help patients make informed decisions that align with their health, values, and long-term well-being.
Sometimes that means proceeding thoughtfully.
Sometimes that means waiting.
Sometimes the most ethical recommendation is reassurance, not intervention.
Why Physician-Led Care Matters
Our Philosophy: Patient-First, Always
Every consultation at Joyful Glow Clinic is designed to be:
Unrushed
Educational
Collaborative
Respectful of patient autonomy
Patients are encouraged to ask questions, consider alternatives, and take time to decide. There is no pressure to proceed.
Care is never urgent. Trust is never assumed.
A Practice Built for the Long Term
Joyful Glow Clinic was created to serve patients seeking thoughtful, medically grounded care — not trends or quick fixes.
Our goal is to build lasting relationships based on:
Trust
Professionalism
Integrity
Consistent medical standards
This approach may not be for everyone — and that is intentional.
All care at Joyful Glow Clinic is physician-directed.
This means:
Medical consultations are conducted with full professional accountability
Recommendations are guided by peer-reviewed evidence and clinical reasoning
Informed consent and patient safety are central to every decision
Ethical boundaries between education and commerce are respected
Physician leadership ensures that care is governed by medical standards — not marketing trends.
Evidence Over Hype
Joyful Glow Clinic does not represent or promote any single product line, device manufacturer, or treatment philosophy.
Instead, we focus on:
Evidence-based guidance
Individualized assessment
Honest discussion of uncertainty
Long-term skin and health outcomes over short-term results
We believe trust is built through transparency — including acknowledging where evidence is evolving or limited.
Jing Cao, MD
Family Physician | Founder & Medical Director
Dr. Jing Cao is a family physician with over a decade of clinical experience in medicine and aesthetics. Her work is grounded in clinical rigor, thoughtful assessment, and compassionate care.
Her education spans China, Canada, and Europe, shaping a global and disciplined approach to medicine. Born in China and raised in Canada, Dr. Cao is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese. She completed her undergraduate studies in Biochemistry with Honours and Distinction at Queen’s University, where she also gained experience in laboratory and clinical research, developing a strong foundation in scientific inquiry and evidence-based medicine.
Dr. Jing Cao pursued her medical education in Ireland within a traditional UK-based system known for its emphasis on clinical examination and diagnostic reasoning. She consistently achieved top-tier results in her qualification examinations before returning to Canada, where she was accepted into a highly competitive Family Medicine residency program at the University of Toronto.
Her postgraduate training included additional focused experience in psychotherapy and procedural medicine, including office-based surgical procedures. This breadth of training informs her integrated, whole-person approach to care across both medical and aesthetic practice.
Aesthetic Philosophy & Approach
Dr. Cao believes exceptional aesthetic medicine begins not with products or techniques, but with seeing.
Beyond her medical training, she has a long-standing passion for gardening, floral design, visual art, and natural beauty. These pursuits have refined her eye for proportion, harmony, and subtle balance—an aesthetic intelligence that deeply informs her clinical work.
In practice, this means results that enhance rather than alter. Dr. Cao focuses on preserving individuality, expression, and character, avoiding treatments that homogenize or overwhelm. Her goal is to restore balance and vitality while ensuring patients continue to look unmistakably themselves.
This philosophy aligns closely with her broader view of wellness: that beauty, like health, is most powerful when it is natural, balanced, and personal. Thoughtful restraint, respect for individuality, and long-term well-being guide every recommendation she makes.
At Joyful Glow, aesthetic medicine is approached as both a science and an art—grounded in evidence, guided by integrity, and shaped by a deep appreciation for natural beauty.
Trusted by Patients Over Many Years

Trust me, the commute is absolutely worth to see her! She is the type of doctor who truly makes you feel comfortable and I appreciate how she takes the time to answer my questions thoroughly , making sure I understand everything. Her compassionate approach made a world of difference and truly commendable!!
— February 2025We feel incredibly lucky to have met Dr. Cao shortly after arriving in Toronto. Not only is she highly professional and meticulous in her work, but she is also warm, friendly, and always smiling. For our family—new to this environment and with two young children—she gave us a great sense of security and made us feel completely at ease. As someone who pursues beauty and perfection, I have high standards, but Dr. Cao's attention to detail exceeded even my own. During a follow-up visit, she noticed a tiny imperfection that I hadn't even seen. She took the initiative to schedule an additional appointment, free of charge, to refine it. The final result was natural, and beyond my expectations, which truly touched me. Dr. Cao is the most kind, approachable, and professional doctor we have ever met. It is truly our privilege to have found her!
— Long-term patient
Dr. Cao has been our family doctor for both me and my children for more than 10 years, and she has been fantastic with kids, making doctor visits a positive experience for them. She takes the time to thoroughly understand our health concerns, proactively reminds us about vaccinations, and provides valuable advice on preventing seasonal illnesses. She also ensures we stay on top of annual check-ups and necessary screenings. What I appreciate most about Dr. Cao is her willingness to discuss details and answer all our questions, rather than making decisions for us purely from an authoritative standpoint. In addition to being our family doctor, Dr. Cao is also my aesthetic physician. She advocates for a balanced approach to aesthetic treatments, tailoring them to individual features rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach. She carefully assesses the results of each treatment, makes adjustments as needed, and follows up to ensure the best possible outcome. I truly trust her expertise and highly recommend her!
