"He indicates a price range of $4-6K"

The cost for growing fibroblasts has come down a lot since the early 2000's when Isolagen started. There are commercial labs to do the cell cleaning, growing and preservation for $1000-1500 per sample. FCSC is doing this in their own lab so the cost will be far cheaper than that.

Dr Chernoff's estimate of the cost to patients between $4000-6000 includes injection cost and doctor's profit. But, even if the company can clear just a low $2000-2500 for the initial sample, they will be profitable. Future injections would be dirt cheap to produce. There is plenty of money to be made here for FCSC once a sufficient number of doctors are trained.
