We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Ligon-Gaston Dorothy Cooper and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer Ligon-Gaston, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Dorothy Cooper and Jennifer Ligon-Gaston have been friends and colleagues for over 14 years. While they are both advanced practice nurses they chose different career paths; Jennifer a Family Nurse Practitioner and Dorothy a Certified Nurse Anesthetist. The experience and knowledge they gained from their careers provided the opportunity to start their business, Genesis Aesthetics and Wellness. They both have a passion to educate their patients and provide generational health and beauty to all ages. Owning their own business has been a lifelong goal for each of them to have the autonomy to provide better options for their patients, as well as, improving their quality of life and the ability to spend more time with their families.

What should our readers know about your business?
Genesis Aesthetics and Wellness offers neuromodulators (tox), dermal fillers, microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments, medical grade chemical peels, hair restoration, medical weight-loss program, biote bioidentical hormone therapy and treatment for sexual dysfunction. We offer a wide variety of services both in clinic as well as concierge services in their home or office. Our purpose is focused on generational beauty and wellness to help people look and feel better overall. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our patients and educating them on our services. In this industry it is extremely important to have ongoing continued education to provide our patients with the newest and safest techniques, products, and services. We are constantly researching, learning and training and we love it! We give our patients realistic expectations and set goals that are achievable to get results. Our brand is different than the normal medspa or clinic and not based on volume but by patient satisfaction. Our patients know that we are available to them day or night, 24/7. This is the joy of owning your own business because there are no corporate mandates or quotas. Through our combined years of experience in the medical field, we have had many mentors and worked in both positive and negative climates; which has allowed us to implement the “positives” into our own work environment. We are here to help people achieve wellness and their aesthetic goals because although we cannot stop the aging process it can be done gracefully.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There is always something to do local or a place to visit with Dorothy living in the Woodlands and Jennifer in Montgomery on lake Conroe. Market Street in The Woodlands has great restaurants, shops, bars with live music and The Woodlands Mitchell Pavilion for concerts. Dorothy and her husband are often trying out new eateries. Jennifer spends most of her free time on the lake with her husband and three dogs but she also enjoys visiting the little boutiques and shops in historic downtown Montgomery.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We are both truly grateful for the support and patience from our families who have constantly endured our long hours, tears and frustrations along our journey. We cannot express enough our eternal gratitude to our Medical Director, Dr. Thomas McHugh for his faith in our abilities and ongoing support.
