...HBS 505-035 MARTA WOSINSKA YOUNGME MOON PROPECIA : Contribuyendo a que la Caída del Cabello sea Historia1 “Un día la ciencia creará una pastilla para la caída del cabello. Ese día es hoy” - Titular de publicidad propuesto para PROPECIA En una mañana lluviosa de noviembre de 1997, Tom Casola hojeaba el plan de utilidades de PROPECIA, medicamento que el equipo que lideraba en Merck estaba a punto de lanzar al mercado, y consideraba tanto la oportunidad como el desafío que yacían ante él: PROPECIA representaba un avance significativo en el tratamiento del Patrón Masculino de Caída del Cabello (MPHL)2. Brindaba a Merck la oportunidad para ingresar a un mercado grande y aún en desarrollo. Sin embargo, como en gran medida la decisión de buscar un tratamiento para la calvicie estaba motivada por el consumidor, la capitalización de esta oportunidad requería pensar de una manera diferente para el lanzamiento del producto. El momento del lanzamiento de PROPECIA coincidió con los cambios en la legislación que la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) había introducido hacía poco tiempo. Estos cambios hacían más factible la publicidad directa a los consumidores de los medicamentos bajo prescripción médica. “Los médicos, en su gran mayoría, no se han concentrado tradicionalmente en la caída del cabello o en otras condiciones cosméticas, y no es probable que lo hagan”, reflexionó Casola. “La caída del cabello es un problema activado por los consumidores. Por eso creemos que aprovechar...

...prosthetics. [2] Examples of hair prosthetics include hair extensions, hair pieces, partial hair prosthesis, and toupees. These particular hair pieces will contain human hair, synthetic hair, or a combination of both. Hair loss comes in two major forms; heredity and medically. Medically, two common hair loss forms come from chemotherapy and alopecia areata. Chemotherapy is the use of medicines or drugs to treat a disease, such as cancer. Cancer cells tend to grow fast, and chemo drugs kill fast growing cells. Although these drugs travel throughout the body they can affect normal healthy cells that are fast growing too. The normal cells most likely to be damaged by chemo are hair follicles. Hair loss during chemo is a form of alopecia which causes thinning of hair and/or losing hair on all parts of the body. [5] Alopecia areata is one of the most emotionally devastating dermatologic conditions. Alopecia areata is a unique, idiopathic disease in which there is patchy hair loss that is usually confined on the scalp but may occur on the general body surface. Alopecia totalis a condition if all the hair on the scalp is lost and Alopecia universalis is a condition if in addition...

...Alopecia is a disease involving the thinning or complete loss of hair. Alopecia’s affects differ based on gender. Males suffer from the loss of hair at the hairline or top of the head. Females, on the other hand, suffer from hair loss that is often only at the top of the head, with the hairline staying in tact. There are many causes contributing to the diagnosis of alopecia. This list includes aging, genetics, illness, or malnutrition. Alopecia is not to be confused by baldness caused by “the hairless gene”. “A congenital disorder called atrichia is caused by the ‘hairless’ gene." Alopecia, though it can be genetically passed down, is very different from general balding in that it is caused by actual damage to the hair shaft or follicle. Damage can be caused by a major illness, particularly a fungal infection, stress to the root, injury, or even medications such as chemotherapy. Our world today is constantly changing. New diseases are discovered, old diseases disappear, and cures or vaccines are developed for the millions we have affected by one thing or another. Today there are 53 million people affected by a disease know as Alopecia. I would like to explore the most common forms of Alopecia's that effect millions today. These include Universal Alopecia, Androgenetic Alopecia, Traction Alopecia, Anagen Effluvium, Telogen Effluvium, Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, and Alopecia Totalis.

In total, men and women in the U.S. are spending over $300 million every year on such products. Additionally, they spend about a $100 million for elixirs, teas, and horse-hoof ointments. If hair loss is very noticeable, other alternatives such as hairpieces and wigs, hair transplants, and drugs are utilized to fight against the loss of hair. Together these options make consumers spend $1.3 billion per year. We will look at these substitutes closer in the following section and analyze how much big their market share is. More than two million U.S. citizens use hairpieces and wigs. They spend about $400 million per year on theses pieces, including their maintenance. Cost of care per year is between $300 and $600. This option can be produced with real human hair lasting about a year, or with synthetic hair, lasting for about two years. For men, a small hairpiece made out of real hair can cost between $1,000 and $3,500, pieces made out of synthetic hair total between $1,800 and $2,500. For women...

...You are the marketing director of Propecia, a new drug for hair restoration that's about to hit the market. But the drug can only be purchased via a physician's prescription. So do you advertise directly to balding men? Do you concentrate on targeting physicians? How about attempting to influence the wives or barbers of balding men? All these issues and more faced Tom Casola, who in 1997 was heading the Propecia marketing effort for the drug maker Merck & Co. The case was discussed by audience members at the 5th Annual Alumni Healthcare Conference on November 6, 2004; HBS assistant professor Marta Wosinska led the conversation. The Propecia launch came at a time of regulatory change, which made advertising of prescription drugs to consumers more feasible. But Casola had to consider three limitations on such advertising: A "product claim" ad could mention both the brand name of the drug and the problem it could correct, but would also have to include a list of major side effects. Trying to put side effects into context in a 30-second TV spot was next to impossible. "Reminder" ads could mention the brand of the drug, but not mention what the drug was for. "Help-seeking" ads allowed for un-branded ads that would encourage men to seek a doctor's advice if they were concerned about hair loss. In addition to marketing directly to consumers, Casola would also consider strategies for Merck's more traditional marketing channel of selling direct to physicians, using the company's...

...On the night of your honeymoon, you remember running your hands through your husband's hair. You've always liked how his hair felt between your fingers. It was soft, wavy, and almost delicate. But, that was years ago. Today, his receding hairline and thinning hair cannot conceal the years that have passed since you first met. You know that looks are superficial and that your love for him goes beyond appearance. But somehow, you can't help but wish he had more hair. You've seen people on TV and on the Internet grow back their hair using the latest trends in hair restoration. The problem is you don't know how to convince your husband that he doesn't look good with a shaved head. No matter what his objection is, there is a way to talk to him that will get your point across. "But I don't want to hurt his feelings..." Men just don't admit it, but they also care about how they look. They also want to appear young, handsome, and oozing with sex appeal, especially to their wives. But don't expect them to say it. Try to explore his feelings about his hair loss, but do it in the right setting. For example, ask him to accompany you to the salon for hair extensions or keratin hair therapy. While awaiting your hair treatment, browse hair restoration ads and brochures together. In a casual tone, find the perfect timing to say, "Honey, don't you miss having hair?" "But he thinks it's fake and expensive..." Perhaps he has seen people who have previously undergone hair transplants with...

...“Why Fue hair transplant better than Strip Surgery” “Hair transplantation is defined as a surgical procedure used to treat baldness or hair loss”. Typically, tiny patches of scalp are removed from the back and sides of the head and implanted in the bald spots in the front and top of the head. Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure performed on men (and occasionally on women) who have significant hair loss, thinning hair, or bald spots where hair no longer grows. In men, hair loss and baldness are most commonly due to genetic factors (a tendency passed on in families) and age. Male pattern baldness, in which the hairline gradually recedes to expose more and more of the forehead, is the most common form. Men may also experience a gradual thinning of hair at the crown or very top of the skull. For women, hair loss is more commonly due to hormonal changes and is more likely to be a thinning of hair from the entire head. An estimated 50,000 men get transplants each year. Transplants can also be done to replace hair lost due to burns, injury, or diseases of the scalp. The main difference between FUE(follicular unit extraction) hair transplantation and strip-surgery is in the way donor-hair is obtained.FUE generally leads to higher patient satisfaction, quicker recovery, and less scarring of the donor area. In FUE hair transplantation individual hair follicles are extracted without causing damage to the scalp. This is done by very small punches that hardly leaves visible...

...to get pigmentations (white patches) on different parts of their bodies. The parts of the body that may get pigmentations are: the hands, feet, face, the inside of the mouth, genitals, rectum, and in some cases the persons hair may turn white because of the vitiligo. In other cases of vitiligo, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose) and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) can be affected. The cause of vitiligo is still unknown, but some scientists and doctors have developed a few theories about its origin. Some scientists and doctors believe that heredity comes into play. This theory I can believe because my grandmother and aunt both have vitiligo. Others have said that sun burn, stress, alopecia areata (balding before the age of 35), hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid gland), and some immune diseases may develop vitiligo. Another theory of how one gets vitiligo is said to be, the inheritance of 3 genes that make it...
