Closing brings the scale, technology and clinical infrastructure of Hims & Hers to Japan
Juniper entered Japan in November 2023, and has since become a trusted partner to eligible local customers seeking support in their weight loss journey. In a market where people with weight-related concerns wait an average of six years to seek support for weight loss care, Juniper has built a steady customer base by offering an evidence-based path to care.
“In Japan, the need for accessible, quality weight management care has long outpaced what's available. Juniper has already started to change that,” said Andrew Dudum, co-founder and CEO of Hims & Hers. “Hims & Hers is here to accelerate that change, bringing the full scale of our platform behind a team that has already earned the trust of Japanese customers, and a shared commitment to support their lifelong health journeys.”
To best serve its customers in Japan, Hims & Hers will continue to invest in a local clinical approach, and customers will continue to be connected with Japanese providers who understand the healthcare landscape they're navigating, and bring the local expertise and clinical rigour this kind of care demands.
As Hims & Hers grows in Japan, continuity of care is a top priority. For customers who have received care through Juniper, their treatment continues uninterrupted as the brand grows. Joining Hims & Hers gives the team in Japan the backing to keep building on a model that patients have come to trust, with more resources and reach behind it.
“Trust is everything in Japanese healthcare, and it has to be earned,” said Ryan Nolan, Vice President of International at Juniper. “Juniper spent two years doing exactly that, building a standard of weight care that customers here can genuinely rely on. Now through Hims & Hers, we have the global scale and clinical depth to take that work further, providing access to the evidence-based, high-quality, judgment-free care they deserve.”
